Best Wishes To Members of Cambs ACF Corps of Drums

Corps of Drums

Cambridgeshire Army Cadet Force would like to wish cadets from the Corps of Drums best wishes for tomorrow. Selected cadets will be on parade in London as they makeup part of a massive parade marching down the Mall for an inspection by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. The royal review in Central London and Buckingham Palace garden party are the centrepiece of the cadet movement’s 150th anniversary year and echo the centenary celebrations in July 1960 when Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh reviewed the cadet forces in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.
