Negara Brunei Darussalam: obituary 2014.
IntroductionThe sample this year includes a broad spectrum of humanity, ranging from royalty and aristocracy to persons of more modest social status. There are those who reached a grand old age, but others who were cut off in youth or at the prime of life. Some met a violent death, because of either murder or accident, but most died peacefully at home.
Among the many professions represented here are administration, business, diplomacy, history, journalism, religion, sports, and translation, as well as all three main branches of military life.
The royal family mourned the demise of YAM Pengiran Anak Saerah, a daughter of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (r 1924-50). Otherwise the most prominent departure was probably Pehin Mohd Abbas Al-Sufri, a civil servant and courtier, besides being brother to the current Speaker of the Legislative Council. AH Mohd Tahir Umar, member of a distinguished local family, was active in the field of religion. Cedrina Clark was a noted local journalist whilst Peter Gautrey was British High Commissioner to Brunei from 1972 until 1975. Some other people have been chosen because of their interesting family connections.
Besides those who died in 2013-14, the listing also includes departures from a more distant past, notably Professor A.P. Thornton (1921-2004), a Canadian scholar; Major-General David Noel Hugh Tyacke (1915-2010), a Cornish soldier; Professor J.A.C. Mackie (1924-2011), the Australian historian; and Dr. Frederick Cornelius Hummel (1915-2012), a prominent forester.
Finally, a number of errors in the 2013 edition must be corrected here:
page 26, lines 1-2: According to the ASEANSAI (ASEAN Supreme Audit Institutions) website, accessed at 1426h GMT on Tuesday 17 March 2015, Dato Paduka GT Hambly (1927-2013) was Auditor-General of Brunei/NBD from 1965 until as late as 1989.
page 26: Pehin Hussain was born in 1933 (as stated in the text proper), not in 1993 (as appears in the headline, line 3).
There are also problems with the quotation marks in note 75 on page 31.
On the last line of page 351: it was Keith Botterill (rather than Richard Braithwaite) who died in 1997.
The obituaries now follow in alphabetical order:

"In January 1964, during Indonesia's confrontation with the new Federation of Malaysia, he was commanding a company of 1/GR in Sarawak. When a raiding party of about thirty Indonesians and Chinese was reported to have landed on the coast, two companies set off down the Rajang river in launches and longboats to find them. O'Leary learned that about eight of them were lying up on Lobe Island and embarked two assault platoons in longboats to attack. The island was about 600 yards long and 250 yards wide and the terrain consisted of thick mangrove trees and palms growing out of slimy mudbanks and swamp. The only approach was by a tributary of the Rajang, and the last thousand yards was in full view of where the enemy was likely to be. O'Leary, in his launch, Jolly Bachelor, made a perilous dash to the northern end of the island where he opened fire on the enemy's supposed position from a machine gun mounted on ration boxes in the bow. As the assault went in, he ceased fire, sped off in a boat and led one of the platoons in an attack. In a fierce action that lasted four hours, the enemy fought with tenacity. When a Gurkha section commander was wounded, three attempts, one by O'Leary himself, were made to reach him in the face of incoming fire from three positions. A difficult outflanking movement enabled the Gurkhas to lob grenades into the enemy position. The citation for the award to O'Leary of a Bar to his MC stated: 'Cries and groans of wounded and dying men were heard. Major O'Leary moved forward and called on the enemy to stand and surrender. They replied that they were no longer able to stand. Major O'Leary then personally led a final rush on the enemy position and secured it.'"
