@Salisburymayor and many dignitaries joined us for what was a very moving service. RBL Standard bearers, personnel from The Royal Corps of Signals and @BandShaftesbury played their magnificent parts too. Our thanks go to @SJASalisbury & the Williams family of East Farm.

We were delighted to be joined by so many people for our annual Drumhead Service, the first since Covid-19. The service was led by Archdeacon @alanpjeans, with addresses by Mrs Sarah Troughton @WiltsLieutenant and our President General Sir Nick Parker....

Everybody wave to the camera - stage 1 of the Fovant Badge Project is complete! Huge thanks to our veterans, support staff, the Fovant Badge Society, and the Brew and Banter and Buddy Buddy teams for their incredible hard work.

Fovant is a village very close to where I grew up & was the location for a series of large #WW1 training camps along the valley including Fovant @fovantbadges & Hurdcott Camps @ww1australiamap and has a large number of @CWGC war graves in local churchyards. St George's Church 2/

Fovant Badges Society trustee Leslie was the driving force behind this wonderful Platinum Jubilee tribute.

The Drumhead Service, due to take place on Sunday 3 July, has unfortunately been cancelled. We hope the Service will return in 2023.

The Fovant Badges in Wiltshire this evening. Absolutely stunning to see.⁦@fovantbadges⁩

[fovantbadges @fovantbadges]

Lots of work taking place up on the hillside at the moment with weeding, strimming and re-chalking where required. Glad to see the results being appreciated!

A spot of history this afternoon with a wander around @fovantbadges and some moody skies #Wiltshire. @RWiltsYeo our badge is looking pretty good!

Flying the flag for #AnzacDay2022 at Fovant. We remember the many #Australian soldiers who spent time at Fovant Camp during #WW1, often arriving during those harsh & bitter winters which in itself took a heavy toll on them. 43 are buried at St George's Church. Image @AWMemorial
