Photo from the collection of Dougie Neish, No.1 and 1/5 Cdo. who added this " "The funeral was of one of our colleagues whose life came to a tragic end when he fell from quarters in Kowloon. I am not sure whether it was Mody Road but it was thereabouts. He was buried at Happy Valley Ceremony with full honours."
