I have just returned from taking a party of our Air Training Corps Cadets to the village of Leighterton in Gloucestershire. There are several Australian and New Zealand WW1 Aircrew buried there as they carried out there training on the nearby airfield. We take part in the parade every year and this year was as expected the largest yet. With military reps from both High Commissions, 20 plus British Legion Standards including both Men's and Women's National Standards, RBL Bikers,40 plus Veterans, 3 Squadrons of Cadets, Air Scouts and Village School Children the turn out was superb. This small village puts on a special effort to honour those brave men who are so far from home. We will remember them.
