Good Evening All.
Just a quick message to let everyone know that we have just returned from a very emotional visit to Ypres in Belgium. Whilst there we had the great honour of laying a wreath at the Menin Gate. We did this on behalf of all the fantastic volunteers that help us every year during the Poppy Appeal. Our dedicated Sea/Marine Cadets, Army Cadets and Air Cadets. Most of all on behalf of all the amazing people in Taunton who very generously donate money to our call each and every year. Once we’ve had a chance to recover we will post more pictures of our trip.
This is the wreath that we laid at the Menin Gate.
