Deaths in 2022

[FierceKitty]

Damn. That one is a real loss.

Really sorry to hear of Chris Duffy's death. I was fortunate enough to tour SYW battlefields with him, and to meet-up with him on a number of occasions when I lived in Vienna. He was a charming, self effacing and humorous man, as well as the pre-eminent scholar in 18th century military history. His works in other periods, such as his fascinating book on the British on the Somme through German eyes, showed not just his scholarship, but also the breadth of his interests. The world is a smaller, and poorer, place.

Wilko Johnson (75), original guitarist with Dr. Feelgood. 

Diagnosed with terminal cancer ten years ago, so did pretty well in the end.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Gutted, he was one of the greats .

[Peterem]

My guitar hero, Wilko, right from Dr Feelgood days. Loved the way he never took himself too seriously..

Aye, that's a sad one. Motor Neurone Disease.

Very sad indeed.  He appeared in a wheelchair prior to the Wales/NewZealand game in the Autumn Nations series a few days ago.
