Drum Major Ronnie Hughes 1RHF
The Standards paraded at Craigton Crematorium on Saturday 19th March 2016 for the farewell to Drum Major Ronnie Hughes 1st Battalion Royal Highland Fusiliers.
Major Alastair Mack HLI 1952-1958
Hi Folks,
I am sorry to have to report that I was informed today by Willie Shaw that he had received a call from Alastair Mack’s daughter to say that he had passed away on Sunday 6th March. Alastair was Chairman, and a long standing supporter of the HLI Association. I hope that we can arrange a suitable commemoration but we will have to await details from Alastair’s family. Most of you will know that Alastair moved recently to Wiltshire and it may be that the funeral will take place there. I will keep you informed as I receive further information.
In the meantime let us remember an old comrade in typical HLI fashion, with fondness, respect, and a dram in his memory!
Yours aye,
Jim Devine
Secretary HLI Association
David Farquhar HLI
It is with great sadness that we have been informed by Sionah Lannen (nee Farquhar) of the death of her Father, old HLI comrade David Farquhar. David served in France with the HLI in WW2. He passed away very peacefully on Sunday 7th February 2016 aged 92. The funeral service will be on the 23rd February at 2pm at Park Cemetery, Lytham St Anne’s, Lancs. A piper will be in attendance.
