21 Engineer Regiment

21 Engineer Regiment exercised their Freedom of Ripon and celebrated their 76th anniversary, 10-11 May 25. This was a perfect opportunity to strengthen ties with the City of Ripon, display our capabilities and host local dignitaries with a Beating of the Retreat event.

29 Fd Sqn conducted a driver training concentration in Catterick during May. The focus was on convoy drills, off road driving, self-recovery, maintenance, camouflage and concealment. Expertly organised by Sgt A and LCpl S, in pursuit of mastering the fundamentals of our trade.
