JOCK's FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS

Message from Pete Whitfield -
I now have the details of Jock's funeral
It is to be held at The Oaks Crematorium, Havant, PO9 5NA at 1045 on the 15 Feb. There will be tea, coffee and nibbles that have yet to be arranged (I will keep you informed). His sister Maggie and his niece will be attending from Scotland.
Is there anyone that would like to talk about Jock or if anyone has any stories please let me know as I can then pass them on.
Could you also let me know if you wish to attend and if you want to go onto the wake please so that I will have an idea of numbers.
Just to let you know I will be repeating this post on the R Sigs site.
Please try to make an effort to attend, thanks.

Was at Tony Blowers Funeral on Friday he had good send off with Standards from RSA and RBL and a packed Chapel surprised I didn't see anymore Denbury Boys there PHIL

Thanks Trevor, hopefully someone will be able to arrange a Video Link up.

Hi everyone. Viv and I had a great time at Taunton. Thanks for setting it all up Mike and Sue.

Hi Chris! (Jones). I assume you are going via Caen? Pegasus Bridge is just a few miles from the port of Ouistriham. My mother used to help out a Colonel Woods in the mid seventies, He was a JAG then, but after many years I found out that he was a lieutenant in the Ox and Bucks and was in charge of the second glider at the Bridge on June 6 1944. His uniform and medals should be in the museum now as I asked about him last time we were there and they told me his wife had just gifted them to the museum. He got the Legion 'D' Honour from the French and a piddling MBE (Military) from the British Government!!
From Oustriham just head up on the COAST ROADS towards Cherbourg, all the beaches are en-route and many small and large museums. Have a great time Chris. Mind the boulders in the car park at Omaha beach!!

Regards to all Mike.

Barnsley Reunion. Now fast approaching. Just a thank you for you cooperation in placing your food orders which have all been submitted now.
Also a quick reminder - don't forget to bring a raffle prize. No matter how small it will make a difference. Last year was a great success. Looking forward to seeing you all in October.

I will be attending Jocks Funeral.

Hi All. As part of the Aldershot branch of the RSA I’m coordinating a visit to Beacon Barracks in Stafford, the current home of 1, 16 & 22 Signal Regiments on the 20th June this year. 16 Sigs are hosting us for the day which includes presentations of their modern-day role, lunch and practical demonstrations of their equipment. 1 and 22 Sigs will have some inputs (a presentation only) but it will mainly be a 16 Sigs event.
The numbers for the visit is limited but I do have some spare capacity if anyone is interested especially any ex-16 Sigs personnel. You can contact me by email cendean@btinternet.com
Regards Chris

Caught up with Jackie on Saturday for a coffee. Unfortunately not enough time to show her more of WA.Can I advise anyone thinking of visiting Perth to contact me before arranging accommodation as we have plenty of room.

John Birkinshaw has kindly offered me a lift so barring hospital admissions, I too will be attending Jocks funeral and I believe, the wake.
