It is with great sadness that I have to inform members that Mr Eric Alan Atkin, late KOYLI died on 18 October 2023 aged 92.
Our thoughts and condolences at the sad time are with Eric's family and friends, and those association members who knew and served with him.
As the bugle sounds 'No More Parades' and you take your place in the FRV,
