A VILLAGE headmaster who became the historian of the Durham Light Infantry has died only a month after his wife of 66 years passed away. Harry Moses was headmaster at Aycliffe Village School for 23 years until his retirement in 1993, and his funeral cortege will pass the schoolgates so that people can pay their respects. Harry was also the official historian of the DLI, recording veterans’ stories for the Imperial War Museum, writing several books, organising battlefield tours and giving talks. “He was everything to the DLI,” said Major Chris Lawton, chairman of the DLI Association. “I don’t know how we are going to spread our word without him. He was a mega-part of the regiment.”
