We remember THEM
From the first reunion to this day we remember our lost boys at each reunion dinner (and we include our Drill Seargent Nobby Hall, and Mo Hale, Wife of BE John Hale, how was the life and soul of many reunions.
We have created an individual rosette for each of those lost - that is raised in our memory of them at that dinner.
Several Rosettes have now been attached to our wreath at funerals, and a copy given to the family.
The design of the rosette - and its centre - emerged from a vigorous conversation - with several design ideas considered.
One decision was whether the underlying colour of the rosettes should be (a) the Corn Gold colours of RAF Hereford, or (b) the Red, White and Blue of the Royal Air Force.
In the end (though both have been used) the Corn Gold colouring is used by default - because the circular RAF roundel wreath itself reflects the Red, White and Blue that runs through our veins.
This is the 'hub' design we have used, thus far.
