We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of one of our former Commanding Officers, Lt Cdr (SCC) Edward Mason MBE RNR.
Ted first joined the cadets along with his older brother and childhood friend in the 50s and then he chose to volunteer shaping the lives of many cadets and staff on the Wirral!
Ted first took command at our unit in 1973 till 1988. Looking at our history of COs he is the 7th to take command. He remained within the unit and took command again in 2007 for a couple of years to steady his beloved ship.
He will be missed by all those members of the Sea Cadet Corps and most importantly missed by all ex members of the SCC not only across the Wirral but across the NW!
Our thoughts are with all of his family and friends at this sad time.
Rest easy Sir, your duty is done. 🫡
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we have to inform you of the passing of Lt Cdr (SCC) Mason MBE RNR. Ted crossed the bar in the early hours of 1st January 2025, after a suffering a recent stroke.
Ted has been very influential in the Sea Cadets for over 60 years and has under taken many leadership roles including, CO of Wallasey Unit, Area Staff Officer Parade & Ceremonial and most recently with Birkenhead Unit as the Executive Officer.
Ted was a very likable character and touched the lives of so many with his good nature, steadfast dedication, and unique sense of humour. His contributions will leave a lasting legacy.
He will be very much missed by his family, friends and his extended Sea Cadet family. Our thoughts are with all of Ted's family and friends at this sad time.
