Les has been the kingpin of the association for the last thirty years and he will be greatly missed by the committee and his fellow ex-kriegies.
If you wish to pay your respects to Les, his funeral will take place at 12.30 on Friday 12th April at Slough Cemetery and Crematorium, Stoke Road, Slough, Berkshire SL2 5AX.
