Black Watch friends:
Regret to report that Al Copeland passed away last week in Middleton, NS.
Al was a member of 1st Canadian Highland Battalion (20 Platoon). Suspect he re-badged 1RHC in 1953 but I have no record of his Black Watch service – if you can help me out in this regard, please do.
He was a member of The Black Watch RHC Association, Atlantic Branch.
