Message from Barrie Corfield, currently in Portugal with a very intermittent Internet service:
Following my previous post here on 19 April, I now understand that the format of the parade on Sunday 5th June has changed. Because of the roadworks in the City the band will not be playing. The formup is in the usual place (1030 in Lothbury), but after the wreath laying everybody will fall out and walk to the HAC where it will reform and continue as normal.
Kind regards,
Barrie

Major Sir Basil B Hall MC KCB TD
It is with deep regret that I write to tell you that Sir Basil Hall died peacefully in Epsom Hospital on Monday 2nd May 2011, aged 93. He is survived by his widow, Lady Jean Hall, and his sons Anthony and Michael, daughter Patricia and his grandchildren James, Sarah, Christopher and Andrew.
Extracts from The Times Obituary: Sir Basil joined the Inns of Court Regt in 1938, was commissioned into the 12th Lancers in France and evacuated at Dunkirk, then served with the 27th Lancers in Egypt, Italy and Austria. He rejoined the ICR on return to London and served as a Major until 1955. In 1975 he was appointed Procurator General and Treasury Solicitor, and following retirement in 1980 he was variously Chairman of the Civil Service Appeal Board, the UK member of the ECHR in Strasbourg, and a member of the National Army Museum Council.
A Thanksgiving service will be held at St Andrew's Parish Church, Oakshade Road, Oxshott, Surrey KT22 on Wednesday 25th May 2011 at 11.30am. The family request no flowers please. Donations if desired to the ICCY Regimental Association or the National Army Museum c/o James and Thomas Ltd Mill Road, Cobham, Surrey KT11 3AL.
The Family address is Woodlands, Danes Way, Oxshott, Surrey KT22 0LX.
