"May his gentle soul, now rest in peace"

Vernon will be lovingly missed by his daughter Sarita and his granddaughter. Vernon's funeral procession will arrive at Lakelands Crematorium for a private cremation and his ashes will be brought back to England by his daughter Sarita.

Keith came to Ireland at the start of the new millennium to make his own new start following an eventful life. Born in Brighton, Sussex he excelled at swimming and had already set his sights on the sky by joining the RAF Cadets. After a short career in the RAF, Keith emigrated to South Africa with his wife where they lived for a short time following the birth of their daughter. On his return to England Keith finally found his niche in academic research, building an impressive body of work about the Boer War and the colonial role of Britain in SA.

Keith will be remembered as an intelligent, witty, kind soul who was happiest recalling stories for those who wanted to be perfect.
