Veterans stand to attention!

By Sarah Johnson

As 2008 marks the Centenary of the formation of the TA, and to commemorate this year’s Veterans Day, Paderborn Garrison will host a series of events on Saturday 28th June.

The events will be British Forces Germany’s only opportunity to pay tribute and honour the service provided by our veterans. The event will be open to all UK veterans residing in mainland Europe, Garrison members and their dependants.

Veterans will parade alongside Garrison Units at an open air service and for those veterans who have pre-registered to attend the event, a limited 150 will attend a lunch hosted by the GOC in the NATO Officers Mess. A forum to discuss veterans’ issues will then follow.

Concurrently, any remaining veterans and their families, together with other garrison visitors will have the opportunity of visiting a number of exhibits, both historical and modern, with catering and refreshments stands also on hand.

Registrations for attendance (Veterans only), must be received no later than Friday, 30th May 2008. You are requested to provide details about your vehicle for security reasons. Post your registration form to: Martin Kinsey, HQ 20th Armoured Brigade, Normandy Bks, Bielfelder Str 213, 33104 Paderborn (BFPO 16). For further information regarding the Veterans Day event, telephone 05254 982 2022.
