Black Watch and RCR friends:
Regret to report the passing of Jack Weyman on Tuesday at the Veterans Health Unit in Fredericton, NB.
Jack’s service number suggests that he enlisted around the time that the Canadian Highland Battalions were being raised for service overseas (1951 – 1953) but details of his involvement (if any) are unavailable. At some time late in that era, he joined 1st Battalion, The Black Watch RHC and served with the unit in Germany and Cyprus. He was a fixture in the unit’s Transport Platoon and, when 1st and 2nd RHC morphed into 2RCR, Jack remained with Transport.
In retirement, for a number of years Jack assumed responsibilities, on behalf our RHC Atlantic Branch/ New Brunswick Chapter, for the 42nd ( Black Watch) Regiment Memorial Cemetery near Taymouth, NB.
