The Sound of Christmas, Fijian Style. Our Fijian Choir once again stole the show at our annual Christmas Church Service, filling the chapel with a harmony that stops you in your tracks. Their voices carry tradition, pride and the spirit of the Regiment in every note. A special moment for everyone present — and another reminder of the incredible talent within our Welsh Guards family.

15 December 1917: More praise for Fr Willie from Major General Hickie "I could not say too much about your son. He was loved and reverenced by us all; his gallantry, self-sacrifice, and devotion to duty were all so well known and recognised. I think that he was the most wonderful character that I have ever known." williedoyle.org/15-december-19…
