Sadly my dad L.Cpl. William (Bill) Spearing 2666591 of the the 5th Bn Coldstream Guards has recently passed away aged 92.... I think dad may well have been the last from the 5th. which would have saddened him. I'm trying to get a CG trumpeter or a CG Bandsman to "see" dad off, not just for him but for all the other 800 plus Coldstreamers of the 5th Bn. If you know of anyone who may have the slightest influence about these matter then any suggestions would be appreciated. Mark. Nulli Secundus
