Leslie Hyland (1931-2025)

LESLIE HYLAND (1931-2025); it is with great sadness we record from Queensland, Australia, of the passing of our long standing member, Leslie Hyland, on 1st July 2025, aged 94.
 
‘Les’ served as IRRS Hon. Secretary and Chairman and was responsible for bringing advancement and professionalism to the operation of the Society. His photography began in 1947 and Les captured a substantial amount of Irish Railways during 1950s & 60s, published in recent years in our IRRS Journal. Key member of the Junior Branch and railtour organiser, he was co-founder and Editor of the invaluable “Irish Railfans News”.
 
To the extended Hyland family, the Society offers its deepest sympathy.
