It is with great sadness that I have to inform members that Mr Sykes Beaumont late KOYLI and 2LI died on 22 April 2023 aged 85.
Sykes enlisted into the Army serving in The KOYLI and 2LI. He attained the rank of Colour Serjeant.
Our thoughts and condolences at the sad time are with Sykes's family, and the many friends he served with in The KOYLI and 2LI.
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 Sykes.
Cede Nullis.
