Cheque presentation and Beating Retreat at DMRC Stanford Hall.

July 08, 2023

Anna hosted Provincial Grand Master of Bedfordshire Tony Henderson along with Steve Attwood and David Hargreaves at DMRC Stanford Hall on Thursday when they visited to present her with a cheque for HighGround. The Commanding Officer of DMRC Stanford Hall Group Captain Chris Rowley graciously invited us to Beating Retreat, a very special occasion where the Guest of Honour was Air Marshal CS Walton, 4 days into her new job as Director General Defence Medical Services. The weather was perfect for The Red Devils display and the Band of the Brigade of Gurkhas topped the Sunset Ceremony. All in all an unforgettable day.
