Hi Tony and Lesley, so sorry for delay in getting back to you regarding info on my dad in the RFC WW1. We can have a chat about it when we meet at Barnsley. Hope you are both enjoying the summer and looking forward to seeing you soon. Cheers

So sorry to hear of Harry Harris passing. Harry was a lovely guy to know and always there to help.
RIP Harry

Re: Harry Harris's funeral. We all knew him as Harry but his middle name was Robert and some of his Dover friends knew him as Bob. Thought I'd just mention it to avoid any confusion. His funeral details are as per Tony Gask's post below. However, the burial is to be at a different church, St.Peter at Whitfield, which is a few miles away. I'm trying to find out if there will be a live video link for his friends around the world. The funeral service church St.Peter & St.Paul is on Minnis Lane, River, CT17 0RG. I spoke to Bob le Valient Ex Corps, Rhyl, today

A message has been received from Bob Le Vaillant regarding the funeral of Bob (Harry) Harris:

"Message: Tony, refer to my last contact concerning Bob Harris's death on 24 July. The funeral is at 1pm on 18 August at St Peter & St Paul's Church in River, Nr Dover. RBL Dover is providing a standard bearer. Am happy to provide further details. email or 01304 380975. I don't know if the news got through to Chris Jones?"

Through the Denbury Jungle Telegraph have received the sad news from Chris Jones that Harry Harris has passed away, Harry was Jerboa Troop Jan 64 to Dec 65 serving with Chris, we were good friends and kept in touch, in his last email May this year was in good form with his usual banter. Harry was a team player and helped me get the Denbury Tie project off the ground many years ago, not on FB like many. This morning Chris has also informed me that Dave Lawrence Quadrant May 61 to Jul 63 passed away in April this year, like Harry were active members of the former Yahoo Group but not willing to be on FB. Finding Denbury again 24 years ago, always felt there was a need for an association/club and was willing to help with my research, sadly others did not agree. RIP Harry and Dave.

Hi everyone, sure appreciate the attendance for the Barnsley Bash. I have booked a table at the Toby Carvery in Dodsworth for 1900 on September 26 2026. If anyone on the list of attendee’s does not wish to attend dinner please let me know so I can get the figures right for the restaurant. Many thanks, looking forward to seeing you all again. Cheers Winston and Hilary 🇨🇦
