REGULAR FORCES EMPLOYMENT ASSOCIATION THIS Association is part of the Forces Resettlement Service. It exists to help Servicemen and women to find suitable employ- ment when they leave the Forces. It also takes a long term interest in ex-Regulars, who may use its services as often as they wish. The Association has forty branches covering the United Kingdom, and its Employment Officers—all ex-Regulars—are in close touch with employers. It provides all services free. During the period 1st April 1981—31st March 1982 the Association placed some three thousand six hundred and thirty five men and women from the Services in employment; of these jobs one thousand four hundred and sixty five were for men and women from the Army and ninety three were from RAOC. Addresses and telephone numbers of Branches can be obtained from Corps and Regimental Associations—or from Post Offices, Employment Offices or local telephone directories. THE RAOC G U A R D OF AT THE LORD MAYORS HONOUR SHOW THE historic scene at the Mansion House has been com- memorated by a full scale painting by the leading artist Joan Wanklyn which now forms part of the Headquarters RAOC Officers Mess collection. The picture is most striking, the Palladian City buildings forming a splendid background to the pageantry of the scene, the Lord Mayor Sir Christopher Lever taking the salute from the Corps Guard of Honour at The Present with the Corps Band in the left foreground and the Lord Mayor's coach drawn up. A limited edition print of three hundred copies has been produced and is now available for distribution. Each copy is signed and numbered by the Artist. The print, size approximately eighty eight by fifty three centimetres, is in full colour with a white border for framing. Copies are now available price £10 including packaging and postage from the RAOC Secretariat. Please note that it is advisable to leave the unpacking of the print to your picture-framer to avoid damage by creasing. The photograph of the painting, shown below, excludes the extreme edges, left and right.
