Walton Detachment
- ANZAC Day Parade - 23 April 2007 |
|
The
evening of 23 April 2007started with a muster parade at
Walton Detachment. The High Commissioner from The New
Zealand Embassy accompanied by the Detachment Commander
inspected the cadets. Once the formal inspection was
complete, the Detachment marched to the church and lined
both sides of the path into the church. The guests entered
the church through the ACF Guard of Honour.
Once
all the guests had arrived, the cadets entered the church
followed by the standard bearers of various organisations including
the British Legion. A Remembrance Service took place to
honour the memory of the ANZACs who fell in the Great War
and those of Australian and New Zealand service men who
fell in subsequent conflicts around the world.
Towards
the end of the service selected cadets took part in the
collection.
On
completion of the church service the congregation moved to
the memorial site outside the church where wreaths were
laid and the poignant strains of the Last Post were
played. The whole evening was conducted with the dignity
and solemnity that befits the memory of the fallen ANZACs.

Chobham
Detachment - Chobham Fete - 7 May 2007 |
|
Chobham Village
held its annual Carnival on Bank Holiday Monday and for the
first time cadets from the detachment were invited to attend. A
total of 15 cadets assembled at 11am and marched to the carnival
procession point where they were detailed to assist in
marshalling the parade as it made its way through the village.
Having reached the village recreation ground an hour later, the
cadets then assisted further by manning “Hoopla” and
“Tombola” stalls and patrolling the gate, handing out
programmes and collecting donations. Despite a period of
torrential rain (during which all the cadets displayed their
resilience!), the event was a great success. The organisers were
particularly impressed with the conduct of the cadets and
indicated that they had received much positive feedback from the
public. Well done to all those who attended and congratulations
on another successful community event!
