It is with much sadness that Paul Shepherd advises us of the death yesterday, the 14th January 2015, of his father in law Henry Eirvin Teasdale who served in No 4 and No 6 Commando. Henry was 90 years old. Paul adds
"Henry was proud to serve his country in WW2 and Korea and was proud to be a Commando. He attended the Remembrance Sunday parade in Fort William in 2013 with all his family, and we all had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend but now his fight is over."
Our condolences to Paul, and all Henry's family and friends
Rest in peace Henry

I am so very sorry to hear this.
I had the great honour of meeting Mr Teasdale in Fort William. Such a lovely man. I'll always remember him fondly.
Thinking of his family at this sad time.

If I have praised my comrades too highly I make no apology, for they were beyond all praise.
