I WRITE with reference to the official ceremony of the granting of the Freedom of Entry of Leominster to the Rifles Brigade on July 16.

I would like to give thanks for a wonderful afternoon and exceptional buffet held at the Royal British Legion, Leominster on behalf of all local veterans, of which I am one, stationed in Barons Cross Camp in 1945.

Again, congratulations and sincere thanks to all concerned.

ROY ROBERTS, Ex-North Staffordshire Regiment, 1937-1952.
