The penultimate day in Ypres, culminated with 124 (Hereford City) Squadron laying wreaths on behalf of the Squadron and Herefordshire Light Infantry Museum at the Last Post Ceremony at Menin Gate this evening. The exhortation was proudly read by Squadron Officer Flying Officer Andy Taylor. The Last Post Ceremony is near unbroken ceremony undertaken every night since the end of the Great War it was a great honour to represent the Squadron, County and Royal Air Force Air Cadets.

Earlier in the day we visited Essex Farm Cemetery where John McCrae who wrote “In Flanders Fields” where he served as a Regimental Medical Officer, the cemetery also sadly contains the grave of a 15 year old solider. Later we visited Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery which holds over 11000 graves including a Nursing Sister and several men who came from Herefordshire.

Lunch was taken at Talbot House “Every Man’s Club” and an emotional time was spent in the “Upper Room” chapel.

Day 2 of the 124 (Hereford City) Squadron Battlefield Study, after breakfast we headed to the Canadian Memorial at Saint Julien the site of the first use of Gas as a Chemical Weapon by the Germans in 1915. Then an emotional visit to the extremely special Tyne Cot Museum and Cemetery the site of remembrance for nearly 47,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers lost in the Battles of Ypres.

In the afternoon we visited the Passchendaele Museum located in the chateau grounds of Zonnebeke, Belgium the site of bitter fighting. We finished the day with a walking tour of medieval fortress city of Ypres which after extensive shell damage during WW1 was fully rebuild to its prior glory.

Sunday saw Cadets and Staff from 124 (Hereford City) Squadron deploy to the Ypres Salient in Belgium to visit the Battlefields of the First World War. After a calm channel crossing the Cadets and Staff arrived in Ypres and explored Hooge Crater and Museum.

In 1915 the British detonated 3,500lbs of Ammonal explosives under the German trenches. This created an explosion so great it was heard in England. This area saw some of the fiercest fighting of WW1. The Ypres Salient was precious ‘high’ ground which gave whoever held it a slight military advantage.

Great to see 124 Hereford City Squadron ATC continuing to build momentum following a successful year supporting young people across the city 👏

Their recent AGM highlighted continued growth, alongside successful fundraising events including a curry and quiz night and raffle, with funds directly supporting opportunities for local cadets.

Cadets have benefited from a wide range of experiences, from overseas camps to inter-squadron training, helping them develop leadership skills, confidence and lifelong experiences.

It’s also a reminder that every squadron is supported by its own local charity, with trustees playing a key role in turning fundraising into real opportunities for young people.

The squadron is currently welcoming interest from anyone who would like to support as a trustee or volunteer.
