Lt Col (Retd) Graham William Parker, OBE : Rest in Peace

It is with deep regret we have learned that Lt Col (Retd) Graham Parker, OBE has passed away. Graham was one of The Western Front Association's vice-presidents until his recent retirement.

During the 1970s Graham was on the staff of the NATO Headquarters, and while stationed at Mons he had opportunity to visit many of the Great War battlefields, including the Somme where his uncle was killed in 1916.

For twelve years, up to the millennium, Graham, along with his daughter Joanna, ran Flanders Tours.

A fuller obituary will be provided later.

The Western Front Association extends its sympathy to Graham's family at this sad time.
