December 1, 2021
This
year,
despite
the
restrictions
imposed
on
youth
organisations
by
COVID,
has
been
a
busy
one
for
all
at
17
(Coningsby)
Sqn
ATC.
In
my
role
as
Sqn
Adjutant
and
civilian
instructor,
I
have
helped
and
organised
the
squadron's involvement in three remembrance activities.
TMS Supports Remembrance Day 2021
by Mal Emsden
The
first
event
was
as
part
of
a
project,
supported
by
the
Commonwealth
War
Graves
Commission,
which
helps
cadets
discover
more
about
the
lives
of
casualties
lost
during
the
two
world
wars.
The
Cadets
were
assisted
with
research
in
the
weeks
prior
to
a
service
held
at
Scopwick
War
graves
was
part
of
the
Battle
of
Britain
remembrance
service.
The
second
experience
was
the
Centenary
event
for
Coningsby
War
Memorial.
I
attended
this
event
in
two
roles,
that
of
the
Sqn
Adj
and
as
Vice
Chairman
of
the
local
RBL.
Due
to
COVID
only
the
banner
party
attended
and
I
laid
a
wreath
on
behalf
of
the Squadron.
The
third
event
was
the
annual
Remembrance
Service.
At
this
event,
I
supervised
the
banner
and
wreath
laying
parties
and
marched
as
part
of
the
Squadron
in
the
parade
from
the
church to the memorial.
