https://globalnews.ca/news/6833576/cana ... -hamilton/The last surviving Royal Hamilton Light Infantry (RHLI) Veteran to have fought at Dieppe has passed away.
Ken Curry’s daughter, Lillian, says he has died of natural causes at a Victoria, B.C., hospital at the age of 97.
Curry grew up in Stoney Creek and was 17 years old when the Second World War broke out in 1939. He was held as a prisoner of war for almost three years after the failed raid on the beach in France on Aug. 19, 1942.
He became an electrician after the war and retired from Stelco at age 60. He eventually moved to British Columbia for family reasons.
Curry was last in Hamilton in 2019 for a service at the Dieppe Memorial.
