QUEEN’S BADGE ALEX AAMER – 4th PETERHEADQUEEN’S BADGE ALEX AAMER – 4th PETERHEAD

The President and Executive of the Buchan Battalion send their Congratulations to Alex Aamer of the 4th Peterhead Company, who today was presented with his Queen’s Badge.

His Company Captain, Alan Macdonald, gave Alex a glowing report for the work he carried out through his Queen’s Badge, as well as for the positive impact he has had on the Company.

Further credit should be given as Alex is one of the young men who had to change his planned work for the Queen’s Badge – the highest award in the BB – due to the pandemic.

Well done, Alex!
