At this morning’s Battalion Parade long service awards were presented to two very dedicated officers.

Our Vice-President Steve Wilson, Captain of 1st Strichen, was presented with his Gold Award for 30 years of service as an officer. Meanwhile our Battalion Secretary, Yvonne Duthie, was presented with her Silver Award for 20 years service. Yvonne is also Officer-in-Charge of the 1st Fraserburgh Company Section.

In presenting the awards our Battalion President Marc Thomson noted the hard work and dedication both have put into their companies and their battalion. Neither were aware of the award and were taken by surprise by the President.

Well done both and thank you for everything you have done and do to keep our Battalion strong!
