Commenting on the festive event, SMI Tommy Crawford from Whitehouse Detachment (Abbotts Croft) said: “It was wonderful to see our Canadian friends again. These community engagement links are vital for challenging our Cadets to learn about other countries, their customs and their culture.

“Even though times are difficult, we were able to celebrate the festive season together, allowing our young people to broaden their horizons and outlook on life.”
