Sean Farrelly advises us of the following sad news:

It is with great sadness that I have to report the passing of the President for life of the Yorkshire Commando Club, Jim Crow, who passed away peacefully surrounded by his family at 0830 this morning Dec 23rd at St James Hospital Leeds. Funeral arrangements TBN. Jim was in No1 Commando and was a member of the original Commando Association. He was a good friend , a gentle and modest man, quietly spoken and always smiling. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends both in the Commando fraternity and the West Yorkshire mining community where he made his life after the war, being well known as a pit overman with responsibilities for safety and first aid at which he excelled. I am sending a photo of Jim at our last VJ dinner.


Our thoughts and prayers are with all his family and friends at this time.

Rest in peace Jim.

Do not speak.....unless it improves on Silence.

A good teacher opens the door.....you must enter yourself.

Sean advises us that Jim's funeral service will take place at the Wesley Road chapel at Armley Leeds at 12:30pm tomorrow the 10th January followed by a private cremation. Family flowers only by request donations in lieu would be appreciated to benefit RBL and ward J88 Bexley wing, St James Hospital Leeds.
