Received from Warwick Franklin[wbf]
'Just to let you know that Captain Tom LeMarchand RN, passed away on 19th December aged 75 after a ten year battle with Alzheimer's. We are having a Thanksgiving Service at St Mary's Church, Woodbridge IP12 4LP at 2pm on Friday 24th February which will be a Thanksgiving for his very full and happy life.'
Captain LeMarchand was CO of HMS Cleopatra from June 1987 - January 1989. I know some of you would have served with him or knew of him. A submariner by trade he served as Captain SM3 and also in Valiant (CO during Falklands war), Narwhal, Opportune, Warspite and Dreadnought.

If circumstances were different next week I would attend but I have just been off sick for a few days and two of my work colleagues are away next week, one holiday and one bereavement so only me in.Quote:
