EDITORIAL OFFICE: RAOC SECHETAHIAT, DEEPCUT, CAMBEHLEY, (Telephone: Aldershot 24431* E#t, Blackdown 515,) SURREY, does the double. THE QUEENS MEDAL COMES TO THE CORPS YET AGAIN IN July 1980, Lance Corporal Phil Weatherby won the Queens Medal. In July of this year, he proved to the shooting fraternity that he really is the best shot in the Territorial Army, by win- ning it again. Winning the Queens Medal is the highest honour that can be attained for shooting within the TA and to win it two years in succession is a feat of which our Corps can be proud The only other time the * double ' has occurred was also by a member of the Corps (TA) Shooting Team ; Sergeant Trevor Haynes some ten years ago. For those readers who are not in on the shooting world, the Queens Medal is a prize awarded annually to the person who gains the most points during the first three days of the Bisley Service Rifle competitions—you will appreciate therefore that the medal winner is deserving of that honour. It is also a recognised military decoration to be worn along- side other decorations. In recognition of this achievement, the Commander CVHQ, promoted Phil Weatherby in the field, and we all offer our warmest congratulations and thanks to Corporal Weatherby for once again bringing honour to the RAOC. No one has done the hat trick—three years in succession— yet! 1 17 — |
