YOU very kindly published a letter recently concerning the Mercian Volunteers Regimental Association. I thought I would let you know that we had a very successful day at the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas on September 13th when the Duke of Kent was the principal guest.
Members and their families arrived from all over the Mercian area; Stockport, Burton on Trent, Rugley, Nottingham, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Worcester, Stourbridge, Kidderminster.
Your newspaper helped to reach more members of the Association so that we were able to lead the parade of Veterans with over 100 members.
A group of members were presented to The Duke at the end of the celebrations included in that group was Ex WO2 Brian Turvey from Kidderminster.
