RCA Dinner, good company, food and wine
Field of Remembrance
Westminster Abbey
On Thursday 10th November a small group of serving and retired members of the Regiment gathered for the 93rd Royal British Legion Field of Remem- brance at Westminster Abbey. Her Majesty the Queen Consort laid the first wreath then toured the Regimental Plots. The Royal British Legion once again kindly planted our Regimental Rolls of Honour and wooden remem- brance crosses bearing the names of those from the KDG, Bay’s and QDG who have made the ultimate sacrifice and our wooden remembrance crosses. Due to the ongoing maintenance being carried out on the Sacristy, thus the field having to be smaller only three tickets were issued per plot, so a big thank you to the RTR who gave us a few spares enabling eight of us to attend.
Those in attendance were: The Colonel of the Regiment Brig AS Richmond OBE, Lt Col Brace MBE BEM, Maj C Beaver, Maj C Ruggles-Brise, Maj B Williams, Mr G Crane, Mr D Way and Mr M Hawtin. Next year we will hopefully have more tickets to issue, please contact HHQ if you wish to attend.
