Trevor Thorpe

To the members of 21eme de ligne

I write to you to announce the sad news of the death of Trevor Thorpe.
Trevor was a member of this regiment for over 20 years and he died peacefully in the early hours of sunday morning (3 June) at his home in South Cave after a protracted illness.

Trevor in Switzerland

Trevor had joined this regiment to keep his son Andrew company all those years ago. He stayed long after Andrew departed and has climbed his way through the ranks becoming a corporal and the treasurer, the posts which he kept succesfully until his retirement 4 years ago.

Trevor


I was privileged to have known Trevor, Christine and Andrew for all these years and shared many 21eme trips abroad, or as he called them "adventures"' together. I shall always remember our long chats lubricated by a glass or two of Claret in a candle-lit tent when the time seemed to have stood still and the reality became the early 19th century ambiance which we recreated.

Trevor has now moved on and perhaps we shall all meet on that horse drawn cart when our time comes (this is for the benefit of all those who read the "Seven men of Gascony")

I wish to say goodbye to an old friend and comrade and thank him for the wonderful memories we shared together through our hobby.

Our thoughts are with Christine his wife, his children, and his grandchildren who have lost wonderfull father and grandfather.
