acquitted itself during the 1971 conflict. He further said than an
idea of the value of the Regiment could be gauged by the
number of Gallantry awards won.

these Reunions act as a link between the past and the present
and the young will learn much from seeing and listening to the

veterans who attend the gathering and the veterans see how the
traditions they helped to establish are being upheld.
