BELGIUM - JUL 04

Nine cadets together with the Squadron Warrant Officer teamed up with cadets and staff from 1876 (Kingsbridge) Squadron and spent a week in Belgium. During the camp both cadets and staff repeated the successful camp last year and spent touring locations of historical interest. One such visit included a special parade at the Mennin Gates at Ypres where the local residents hold a service, which includes the playing of the Last Post every night to commemorate those who gave their lives during the Great War . The cadets were invited to join ceremony in which they paraded the ATC Standard. The Standards were lowered during the playing of the Last Post. Wreaths were laid by the cadets on behalf of the Squadron, The Air Training Corps and the Women's Branch of the Royal British Legion in memory of all the British service personnel who had died in conflict and in particular the Great War.
