John "Jock" Inglis

We regret to advise the death of John "Jock" Inglis of Winnipeg MB on 20 August 2006 at the age of 86 years.

Jock was a Royal Canadian Engineer veteran of the Second World War. He enlisted in September 1939 and was assigned to the 12^th Field Company and left for England in January 1940. He was later transferred to the 31^st Field Company and served in Northwest Europe. Jock married in England and, after returning to Canada in 1945, he served another six years in the 6^th Field Engineer Regiment in Winnipeg.

In Winnipeg, Jock worked as a printer and publisher until illness forced him to retire in 1968. He was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Winnipeg No. 1 Branch and was its oldest living member. His service with the legion covered 50 years, including 29 years on the executive and two terms as President. He became a Life Member in 1972 and was awarded the Legion Meritorious Service Medal in 1981.

Cremation has taken place. A memorial service was held at St. Saviour's Anglican Church on 24 August 2006. A private family interment followed in Green Acres Cemetery. In Jock's memory donations may be made to the Branch 1 Sick Visiting Fund. ^{{dcJan20wrd} [zpp]}
