Re: Sad passing

Thanks for these pictures they are great. Sadly Jake (Dad's brother in law) passed away about a year ago after a short illness.

Re: Sad passing

Alison, I remember hearing on the grapevine that Jake had passed away. I only knew him vaguely as he was 68 Bty (I think?) but your Dad came to 49 Bty and I had the pleasure of serving with him there. I am so sorry for your loss.

Re: Sad passing

I've not heard any news about Sandy's funeral. Did anyone from the Regt attend?

Re: Sad passing

I guess by the response - or lack of it - that the answer was NO! I have to say I am disappointed. There must have been someone in Scotland who could have made a bit of an effort? I was toying with the idea of going myself but thought someone from the Regt would have represented us. I should have just done it. . .

Re: Sad passing

David I can understand that you were disappointed but making an effort didnt come into for the few that live in Scotland. Obviously there were reasons we couldnt make it and I am not going to explain why I couldnt on here.
I did email Alison with my apoligies.
