Wellacre CCF Cadets Honour Remembrance Across Community and School

Wellacre’s Combined Cadet Force (CCF) proudly marked Remembrance with two moving events that demonstrated the values of service, respect and remembrance at the heart of the contingent.

On Sunday 8 November, our cadets represented the school at the annual Urmston Remembrance Parade, joining veterans, community groups and residents in paying tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.

The parade was led by Lieutenant Baker and Sub-Lieutenant Fryer, with Issac B proudly carrying the Wellacre CCF banner throughout the procession. 

A particularly poignant moment came when cadet Charlie C laid a wreath on behalf of Wellacre CCF, demonstrating the contingent’s commitment to remembering those who gave so much in service of others.

Three days later, on Wednesday 11 November, cadets gathered once again for a remembrance ceremony at the Wellacre flagpole. Led by SSI Ward, the contingent observed a two-minute silence to reflect on the sacrifices made by servicemen and women throughout history.

The ceremony was conducted with great dignity and respect, with Lieutenant Baker, Sub-Lieutenant Fryer and SSI Ward in attendance. Cadet Sam CB had the honour of leading the parade, bringing cadets to attention before delivering the Act of Remembrance, ensuring the words were spoken with the significance and gratitude they deserve.
