The Commandant is delighted to be able to congratulate Maj Lesley Deacon, Maj John Seaman and Maj Sandy Grogan for their success on last week’s Comdt/DCC selection board which was held by 7th Infantry Brigade.

With effect from 1 Aug 21, Maj Deacon will be Commandant (in Lt Col ACF rank), Maj Seaman will be DCC Adults (in Lt Col ACF rank), and Maj Grogan will be DCC Cadets (in Lt Col ACF rank).

Col Adam Fraser-Hitchen noted that he could not have wished for three better individuals to assume these roles and is hugely confident that under their watch, Cambs ACF will go from strength to strength as an enjoyable, challenging, forward-leaning organisation where Adults and Cadets alike can strive for excellence.
