DEATH OF NOTED DUNDEE SINGER.
By the death at Ripon of Company Quartermaster-Sergeant David Lickley there has been removed one who was well known in Dundee musical circles. Mr Lickey’s death will be regretted by a wide circle of friends in the city. A fortnight ago he was home on short furlough, looking in the pink of health. His end came suddenly, stricken down with illness a week after his return to camp.
Mr Lickley was an ex-volunteer, and joining the ranks fully a year ago, promotion came rapidly.
Possessed of a splendid voice, Mr Lickley was a member of several musical associations in the city. He was ever ready to give his services for charitable purposes.
He will be remembered by a large section of the community as a tenor vocalist, having made many public appearances in the city, and he was also principal tenor in the choir of St John’s (Cross) Church.
Mr Lickley is survived by a widow and three of a family, for whom much sympathy will be expressed.
