This is a recall for them to "get fell in again" at a huge parade at Alrewas, Staffordshire, on the last Sunday in June.
Get your boots polished, pack your kit and make a weekend of it with a very nostalgic 1940s weekend.
Superb accommodation, with a fun outing on Saturday, before a parade on Sunday. Transport will be comfortable coaches, not the back of lorries with canvas over!

Write to ex-national serviceman Mike Crowe, 7 Heath Road, Lake Sandown, Isle of Wight, PO36 8PG with service number, which service you served in and when, for all the details of a wonderful nostalgic weekend.
Yes, wives and partners will enjoy it too! Trust me - I'm an ex-national serviceman. Don't forget to bring the camera. Last weekend in June.
