charles_at_old_coms150.jpg  The dinner was held on Thursday
5th October, 2006 at Niagara with
125 Old Comrades attending.
Charles Illingworth, in his
hundredth year, was the guest of
honour and gave a short account
of his service.
Of particular interest was hearing
about his time with Sir Percy
Sillitoe during the Sheffield Gang Wars.
Sir Percy founded our Association
in 1928.
At the conclusion of his few words
Charles received a standing ovation.
A long standing member
of the Association Jack
Silkstone wears his Association
tie with pride.

Sadly Jack passed away in
July, 2007.
