Message from Lt Col (Retd) Tony Monk, Controller, Army Catering Corps Association:

Ladies & Gentlemen,

For your information the ACC Association will be laying a wreath and parading a Standard at this event at The National Arboretum, Alrewas at 11.30am Saturday 17th September 2011

For information: The refurbished RLC & Forming Corps Memorial in the Logistic Grove, National Memorial Arboretum will be rededicated on Monday 19 Sep 11 and the Association will be represented by an invited group selected by the Council to represent all facets of the Association.


This year’s service will be held at 11.30am on Saturday 17th September 2011 at the National Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas, Staffordshire.

The service will commemorate and remember all those who lost their lives in service of the Crown as a result of the conflict in N. Ireland.

The service will be followed by a parade down to the Ulster Ash Grove for the laying of wreaths.

Following the laying of the wreaths, there will be a 15 minute pause before the parade forms up for the return march to the visitor centre during which the guest of honour will take the salute.

The service is open to all and all Associations are welcome to parade their standards. It would be appreciated if Associations arranging for groups of their members to attend could notify us of numbers and confirm if their standard will be parading.

We look forward to welcoming you to our annual memorial service
