It is with great sadness that I have to inform the Assoc. that Mark the son of George and Lynn Raby and Step son of Pauline Raby crossed the bar on Wednesday 3rd November after putting up a very long fight against cancer.
Our thoughts are with his family at this tragic time.
May Mark encounter calm waters on his journey to the Elysian Fields.

PO Tel WE (Wally) Breton DSM died 19th September 2010.
Although I never managed to get Wally to join the RNCA which I tried doing when he was 90 he reckoned he could not keep up with the numerous Association newsletters he already belonged to!
Wally was a very special gent who would never say why he was "mentioned in dispatches" at Dunkirk nor why he was awarded his "DSM" on Russian Convoy PQ18!
He passed away at 1830 on Sunday 19th September aged 95.
I suspect some of our WW2 members may well remember him. His details will be in the November Navy News.
