HPT,
It is a sad Day in my view when that becomes the case, granted it is an individuals choice to attend any Memorial service.
What happened to Squadron/Regiment histories and the observance of the same.
I do it every month where I am on the Continent, for all three Services and it is done from the heart.
I see where you are coming from in one way, but the newer members of the Squadron should know their Squadron history and then make their choices, to wether they attend or not.
From Waterloo to the present day, it is all the same to my family and and all the others
Lest we Forget
