Black Watch and RCR friends:

Regret to report the passing of Carlyle (Carl) Hick on 2 January.

After completing his basic training in The Black Watch Depot, Carl was posted to 1st Battalion, The Black Watch RHC and he accompanied the unit to Germany/Fort St. Louis in 1959. On return to Canada, he remained with 1RHC and deployed to Cyprus with the battalion in 1967. In 1970 he re-badged to 2nd Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment.
Believe that he remained with 2RCR until his retirement from the CAF.
