Richard Hugh Donger (1923-2014)

Richard Donger was de-mobbed in Oct '46.
He then joined the family farm at Muston, before “retiring” in 1987.

He enjoyed cricket, but his greater love was rugby, and after de-mob was a founder member of Kesteven RFC. One of his co-founder members described him as “an aggressive scrum half who kept the pack at full stretch”! Injury curtailed his rugby playing after only one season at Kesteven, but he remained active on committees for Rugby, Estate Trustees, Newark IDB, George Cross Island Association and RN Commandos Association until his very late years.
