Maiwand 2024

From the Association Chairman

I had the privilege to be asked to take the salute at Brock Barracks on Sunday. Of course I had to nip into Forbury Gardens to pay my respects to the Maiwand Lion and Col Galbraith’s men of the 66th, who made the ultimate sacrifice in 1880.

An excellent event organised by Peter Richens and the organising committee. Special thanks must go to:

The Band

The Sea Cadets carrying Standards (& others)

The ACF Platoon

Last, but not least the Old Comrades who attended

I was particularly pleased to see many faces from my past & special thanks must go to the 1WESSEX/RGBW contingent who travelled from Gloucestershire for the day.

Sad not to see many Wessex Old Boys & Girls or 1 WESSEX BN old comrades. Perhaps next year?
