The Premier and national security minister visited the Royal Bermuda Regiment’s latest intake of recruits yesterday.
The island’s soldiers turned out in force at the weekend for the funeral of a comrade-in-arms killed in a bike crash. Corporal Ricardo Gibbs, who had served in the Royal Bermuda Regiment for more than 20 years, was buried after a military ceremony at the New Testament Church of God in Hamilton.
The island’s defence force is launching a fresh drive for new soldiers for the second of its new-style Recruit Camps.
The commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War ended tonight (SUN) with a beacon of hope lit at Government House.
Island soldiers will line up with other groups to mark 100 years since the Armistice that ended “the war to end all wars.”
