Celebrating 125 Years in Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire Battalion recently held its Display & Awards Evening, where they celebrated 125 years of the Brigade in the county. Around 200 members along with the Brigade President came together for the event in Cheltenham, with every Company in the Battalion taking part.

The evening featured a wide range of performances including a marching band, Hungry Hippos, the Greatest Show, Midnight Drums and even Baby Shark! The awards given included Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards as well as eight President’s Badges, which were presented by the Brigade President.

13-year-old Josh from 1st Churchdown said “It was good seeing how many other people are involved in the Brigade in Gloucestershire other than my Company.”

Lord Griffiths, Brigade President, said “Cheltenham was heaving with people from all over the world who were attending its renowned Literary Festival. The Gloucestershire Battalion put on their own show, a kind of ‘alternative event’, and it attracted a serious crowd. Our award-winners and crowd-pullers were just as brilliant as anyone else anywhere else in town. Congratulations to them all!”
