Default Thanks

Thanks Carman,

It was not one of the units 'compulsory parades' like Trafalgar Day and Remembrance Day, so all the cadets that turn out volunteer to do so. One year a cadet missed a chance to play inter-county rugby to do this, so I guess that for some of them,as well as the staff, it was important.
I know that the visiting officer from the Canadian forces and veterans all appreciated the guesture.
