Don Farquharson, a former president of the Burma Star Association in Dundee, has died a month short of his 92nd birthday.
Mr Farquharson was one of the last surviving members of the association for British veterans who served in the Burma Campaign against the Japanese from 1941 to 1945.
His son Duncan said only three other Burma Star medal holders would pay their respects at his father’s funeral at Dundee Crematorium on Monday.
Mr Farquharson served with the King’s Own Scottish Borderers in the campaign against the Japanese. He was shot and wounded and was invalided home.
He devoted much of the rest of his life to the association that commemorated the campaign, organised events for ex-comrades and give advice on the location of war graves and other matters. He became president of the association in Dundee and also served on its Scottish council.
Born in Blairgowrie, Mr Farquharson left school at the age of 14 to become an apprentice printer with the Blairgowrie Courier.
He then travelled to Carlisle to train to become a heating engineer.
He and wife Nancy, also from Blairgowrie, settled in Dundee where Mr Farquharson was employed by Dundee University.
They lived in Castle Street, Broughty Ferry, and Mr Farquharson enjoyed many hours at the nearby Broughty Castle Bowling Club.
He is survived by a son and daughter, four grandsons and a great-granddaughter.
