    Brig H Chukerbuti: Last rites

    My father Brig H Chukerbuti (Retd) was cremated on 6th November 2008 at Wellington, Nilgiris, India. He is survived by his wife, two sons and daughter. His family, relations, many Signallers, serving Army personnel, veterans, friends and people he knew attended his funeral. Our family is deeply grateful for all who took time to attend his last rites and to the many kind people who have rung, have written and communicated their condolences. My mother in particular was comforted by many Signallers who remembered her at this time. As per his personal wishes his ashes were consigned to the sea off Mumbai on 30th November 2008 by his children.

    Brig H Chukerbuti

    The passing away of Brig H Chukerbuti on 4 Nov at Wellington is a very sad news indeed. He was one of our very senior and popular Veteran.

    I first net Brig and Mrs. Chukerbuti as a YO in Jan 1953, when he was Commandant, then School of Signals. He was very kind, had polished manners, spoke very well, enjoyed lighter side of life and was a good sportsman. Chakurbutis were very gracious hosts too.

    Tennis used to be a popular sport in Mhow Club those days and as a YO one could have a game with the Commandant and his wife on the Club Courts. Brig Chakarbuti also excelled in dramatics.

    They settled down in Wellington after retirement, in a very nice cottage, not far from Defence Services Staff College. All the senior officers when visiting DSSC made it a point to pay their respects to the great Signaler and his Lady wife and enjoy their company and hospitality.

    In the passing away of Brig H Chukerbuti, the Corps has lost one of its very distinguished and illustrious senior Veteran. This is a great loss to the Corps indeed.

    Our deepest condolences to the Bereaved Family. May God rest the departed soul in peace.

    Brig H Chukerbuti

    I learn with great sadness, the demise of Brig Chukerbuti (Retd) on 04 Nov 2008 at TN. I did meet him briefly in mid sixties and realized that he was one of the finest officers of the Corps and has made an unsung contribution. May God bless his soul to rest in peace and give abundant strength to the bereaved family to bear the loss. It is a great loss to the Corps as well.
    I offer my profound condolences to family members and dear ones.
