Dear Members,
Passing on this sad news received from Peter Stokes:
Members may not have heard that Major General BW Howard (Hori) AO, MC, ESM (Retd) died last Thursday. I don’t know if he was ever in the Duntroon Society but he would be very well known to the Infantry and older cohorts of the Society. RMC Class of 1959. RIP.
Indeed, he was well known by many and highly regarded by all.
Rest in peace, Hori.

Dear Members,
More sad news, I’m afraid. I have received news from his daughter that Lt Col Bryan M Hughes, RAAC, (RMC 1959) passed away on Monday 13 May. “He was surrounded by 4 generations of his family when he passed and it was very peaceful”.
Another fine officer and gentleman has joined the Passing Parade. Rest in peace, Bryan.
Kind regards to all,
Konrad Ermert
