St George's Barracks Homecoming march on Thursday 2nd June Oakham
The March will start at 10.15am to mark their return from active duty in Afghanistan.
One Cllr comment why do they have to get up so early?
The Military Dog Squadron and the 11th (Sphinx) Battery RA will be taking part.
The march will start from the Northgate/Melton area of Oakham and will finsih in Oakham Castle.
We are told a medal ceremony will take place in the Castle grounds following the March.
This ceremony will probably be private with only a small group of dignitaries attending.
"Lets hope their families will be allowed in"
Dignitaries is such a dated word, yes I am a town councillor but I don't consider myself a dignitary. I am no different from the man or woman who I am meant to serve.
