Mr John William Heald - Late KOYLI
With profound sadness, I inform members of the passing of Mr John William Heald, late KOYLI, who died on the 10th September 2026 at the age of 100.
The Association recently learned about John after the RBL reached out to us. Members of the Association and Standard Bearers visited John and his family at his home in Leeds.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to John's family and friends during this difficult period. Please be assured that our thoughts are with you as you cope with this significant loss.
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, John.
Cede Nullis.
