For many of the Cadets from the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) at The King’s School, Grantham, this field exercise was their first opportunity to experience the outdoor activities that are such a central part of what the Cadets offer. It was a glorious autumn day and we were able to observe them getting stuck in to the various stands.

Eric Sharpe, former Army Regular and Reservist, and instructor with the Army Cadet Force, died in 2019 aged 86, but his legacy lives on through his generous donations of over £500,000 to various charities and organisations close to his heart.

Leicestershire Police Force have re-signed the Armed Forces Covenant, renewing its pledge to support the Armed Forces Community.

Able Seaman (AB) Lewis Fisher, a 20-year-old Regular in the Royal Navy currently based at HMS Sherwood, has been going into local schools in Nottinghamshire to teach young people about the Royal Navy Reserves.
