    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.

    Lt Gen Harbhajan Singh
