MIDLANDS REGION
Although The Rifles Office operated a “skeleton” service throughout the first and second lockdowns, with Andrew Trelawny and Heather Morgan alternating their stints behind the desk, the third lockdown has led to closure, for the time being at least. Activity in the Cadet (ACF and CCF), Associa- tions and Communities pillars has been minimal or non-existent. We coordinated Remembrance events throughout the Midlands Region, and we continue to support welfare and benevolence efforts amongst our veteran community. We also plan for future events, such as the Light Infantry and RIFLES Association Reunion, which is still scheduled
to take place at Shrewsbury on 19th June 2021. Riflemen of all cap badges should not hesitate to contact us by e-mail or leave a voice mail if they need to do so.
The Royal Green Jackets memorial, a sloping tablet of black Indian granite, was the first installed in 2008. As reported previously on SWIFT, our new Colonel-in-Chief, HRH The Duchess of Cornwall, laid a RIFLES wreath there on VJ Day in August 2020.
