RECOGNITION FOR OUR EFFORTS IN THE 2019 ROYAL BRITISH LEGION POPPY APPEAL COLLECTION

Cadets were presented with a certificate by Nantwich Royal British Legion for their help collecting for the annual Poppy appeal back in 2019. Despite the appealing weather conditions we had to endure and the small amount of time we were able to collect due to the weather we still managed just over £500. Well done everyone who helped and got cold and wet. Fingers crossed this year the weather will be kinder to us and we can go back to collecting the figures we are used to. The Poppy certificate was received by Cadet Poppy.

 

Cadets pay their respects to

1st Lieutenant Arthur L. Brown

Cadets and parents attended the ceremony at the Airman’s grave.

The plane crashed on the outskirts of town on January 14th, 1944. The brave pilot was 1st Lieutenant Arthur L. Brown, a 23-year-old New York man, a member of the United States Army Air Force  (U.S.A.A.F). [In 1947 this became the US Air Force.]
