Roy Maxwell wanted to be in the Army ever since he was a young boy, so it was a dream come true when he joined the Royal Welsh Fusiliers aged 17 and then moved two years later to No. 4 Commando.
The veteran, who served during the Second World War, turned 100 years old last month and has now reflected on his life with "no regrets". Roy has lived in Bristol for around 70 years and he currently resides in Staple Hill, living independently.
He spends his free time enjoying a nice hot cup of tea every morning and watching old-style comedies and comedians such as the Two Ronnies and Tommy Cooper and also watching football and snooker. He enjoys spending time with family and friends and occasionally goes with a neighbour to a nearby golf driving range.
