“… once you join the Armed Services, it never leaves you. It’s with you for life.”
A sentiment true thru generations, demonstrated by this great example & fitting recognition of a #WWII veteran’s selfless service 👇🏽

In what could be one of the last WW2 medal presentations, a 113-year-old East African veteran recently had his Campaign Medals replaced and presented at a ceremony by the @BPST_A Headquarters in Kenya

The most humbling moment of my military career was speaking on return to the soldiers pictured here from @YORKS_REGT who deployed from @bfcyprus
Emotionally and physically exhausted - but still wishing they could do more. What a remarkable generation they are.

Yesterday I had the privilege of chairing my last @ArmyBAME Ntwk Committee mtg, 6 yrs after inception. I’m so proud of the volunteers who’ve done so much to help @BritishArmy accelerate D&I progress. Lt Col Alf Dewa now has the reins and is in for a treat.
