Visit to National Memorial Arboretum

On Saturday 26 July 2008 the Branch Committee met at the NMA at Alrewas in Staffordshire.  The meeting started at 1100 hours and was attended by most of the committee.  Also attending was Terry Whittles, our representative on the Board of trustees.  Several observers were also present.

After lunch the majority of those attending toured the site, including the impressive Armed Forces Memorial.  During our visit a parade of various police and Irish contingents took place.  A visit was made to our own plot - the 'Y' Services plot ( and not as described in the NMA guidebook as the Y Group plot)  It had recently been tidied up, but some concerns as to the maintenance was raised.
