Victor Fennessey, who died on 28th November, 1970, was born on 11th March, 1904, the son of the late Colour Sergeant Patrick Fennessey, KOSB.
He was educated at Queen Victoria School, Dunblane.
He enlisted into The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders as a Boy on 13th September, 1919. Promoted Sergeant in 1932, PSM 1938 and CSM 1939, serving with the 2nd Battalion in UK, Southern Ireland, BAOR, Sudan, Palestine and India.

On the eve of Active Service Operations in North Africa, Victor, at short notice, was asked (in the absence of the QM) to take on the duties of QM for the Battle of Sidi Barrani and throughout the Eritean Campaign. So efficiently did he carry out his duties, particularly during the Battle of Keren, that his name was brought to the notice of Higher Authority for Distinguished Conduct in the field.

In the withdrawal from Acroma to Tmimi, 4th February, 1942, he was the guide appointed for the Brigade Group, during a cross-country journey under exceptionally difficult conditions. He was

taken ROW at Torbruk, 1942. He twice escaped, and was re-captured.
For his services in World War II he was twice Mentioned in Despatches.
Awarded the GS Medal for Palestine; 1939-45 Star; North Africa Star; Defence and War Medals; Coronation Medal; LS and GC.
After the War, he was granted a Short Service Commission in the RAOC, retiring as a Major on 25th December, 1956.
A fine rifle shot, he won his first Regimental Medal in 1922 and in his last years of service at the RAOC Corps Meeting, he won the Special Rifle Match. He was Army Champion Class 3 in 1923, and Aldershot Command Champion in 1932.
He had been ill for a number of years, and had undergone many operations.
To his family we extend our deep sympathy.
