On Sunday 3rd July 2016, shipmates Tim Pridham, Brian Brown and Stan Seal from Chesham and Amersham Royal Naval Association attended a commemoration event to remember the 100th anniversaries of the Battle of the Somme (1 July – 18 November 1916) and the Battle of Jutland (31 May – 1 June 1916), the day was also used to mark the end of the annual Armed Forces Day celebrations.

The Branch Standard was also paraded during the commemorations.

Shipmates from Chesham & Amersham were also busy on the 16th July; they were the hosts for No 6 Area’s quarterley meeting, a first (but by no means last) visit by No 6 Area Committee and Delegates. BZ shipmates.
