It is with great sadness that I have to inform members that Mr Colin William Richmond, late KOYLI, and LI died on 13 August 2023 aged 75.
Colin was an active member of the Association had been a member of our Leeds branch and was a founder member of West Leeds branch. Colin will be greatly missed by association members and those who knew and served with him.
Our thoughts and condolences at the sad time are with Colin's family and friends.
As the bugle sounds 'No More Parades' and you take your place in the FRV,
your duty done with honour and distinction.
Rest in Peace Colin.
Cede Nullis.
