On Thursday 20th July 2023, Sword Company Cadets and Adult Instructors were awarded commemorative medals to recognise the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III.
Additionally, cadets were invited to enhance the medal with a framed photo of their Detachment personnel. Each detachment was gifted a large framed medal and a photo of all detachments within Sword Company.
As this was the final project for the then OC Maj Lee Bampfield, who is now appointed the County Training Officer, he returned to present the medals with our guests for the evening.
Guests were the County Commandant Colonel Britt Haggerty, Wiltshire ACF RSM Rich Hearn, and guests from The Royal Wessex Yeomanry, Squadron OC Capt Martin Stitt, and Squadron Sergeant Major, WO2 Walls who have been avid supporters of Sword Company, who have 3 Detachments badged as Royal Wessex Yeomanry
