Hi , Just came across this Link Les and life 'Hi there' :: Fotopic.Net As its title says it is KOYLI based but the site owner has sets of The Silver Bugle scanned and although it is the regimental journal of the Light Infantry(Rifles) there are sections dealing with old comrades associations for all the old county light infantry regiments,inevitably there are the obituary sections..with lots of interesting details of their service and military lives..well worth a visit.
