Army Cadet Force Battlefield Tour & Armistice Commemoration

[IPT]

Agreed.

 

I retract my suggestion that there was a terrible rate of attrition under GD's stewardship. In fact, i'm sure that the survival rate was actually very high indeed.

 

Looks like a good show all round.

Well done Gareth. Great stuff.

Thanks Paul.

When are you there until Gareth?  (Out there later this week)

 

Reg

[Gareth Davies]

We are back now. The last visit was on Sunday.  

[Don Regiano]

OK.  Hope you have brought the cold weather back with you!

[Gareth Davies]

I am back out later this week but with a school rather than cadets.  And only 1 coach, not 20.

[Don Regiano]

Might see you around the Somme then.

[Gareth Davies]

I am there on Saturday.

Me too. I have a school group Thursday to Saturday.

 

You always look too busy to say hello to, Gareth. Perhaps I should just trip you up as you stride past purposefully! 

[Gareth Davies]

I am never to busy to say hello to chums Ken.  There is however the slight problem that, never having met you, I don't know what you look like!

Then I have a distinct advantage! I'll introduce myself next time our paths cross.

[Gareth Davies]

Please do, it would be good to put a name to a face.

It was advertised as being ACF and CCF, but only the ACF actually seems to have been involved - were both there?

[Gareth Davies]

Yes. It was predominantly ACF but a few CCFs came along.

[Louis Stokes 1916]

I don't remember it being advertised to us, sadly.

[Gareth Davies]

It was well advertised throughout the Cadet world.

My lad would now quite like to do something similar for Normandy ...hint hint.
