death

i can't find any credible information about this persons death. the only source i could located was on a military forum (heres the link: https://army.ca/forums/threads/old-sweat-lcol-brian-reid-retired.144481/post-1896095) i wonder if anyone might be able to find a more credible source.

Brian was a friend of mine. Yes, he died late last year. Will his obituary as published by Hulse-Playfair McGarry do? Ab.chaplin (talk) 00:12, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
