Bereavement of Colin Wilkes Ex Drum Major

[Barry69]

Regrettably Colin Wilkes passed away on Saturday 24 Nov 07 aged 59. His funeral will take place on Monday 3 December 2007 at St Elvans Church, Aberdare at 1030 hrs followed by interrment in Trecynon. Colin was a really good friend and all will be welcome to attend. You will probably remember him as he was Drum Major at one time and followed a full Army career. The family would like medals etc to be worn. By family request, no flowers but donations if so desired to MacMillan Cancer.

Could you please publish this on the site - I would be most grateful.
