Laurie was a personal friend of mine and we often visited while still in Rhodesia. His "den" was an excellent treasure trove of militaria. He owned a Marmon Herrington armoured car and occasionally drove around in it in Salisbury!
He inherited the family business here in the UK and returned to run it. Much of his collection has been sold. Have attached his own Selous Scouts beret for interest. He kindly donated it to me after much nagging!
Regards
Dudley
