Steve Grimes writes: "This photo commemorated the Centenary Year of the National Combined Cadet Forces. I have done some research on this and can add the following additional information. On 22 July 1960 the CCF took part in a Centenary Year Parade at Buckingham Palace. At this parade the CCF Banner was dedicated and presented to the CCF, together with the Commemorative Book signed by Her Majesty the Queen in her capacity of Captain General of the CCF. This book was intended to record the present state and past history of all Contingents across the country. There would be only one copy in existence and, according to "Cadet", was initially housed at the new Cadet Training Centre at Frimley Park. Each page was hand printed by the applicable Contingent. The pages were in vellum with black script with the crest and capitals sometimes in colour. Our Contingent had its own entry, a copy of which was reproduced in "Cadet" 1960. The Banner was also lodged at Frimley Park. The occasion coincided with the School's own Jubilee Year which was celebrated jointly by the Corps and the School. The CCF annual Reunion Dinner and Dance in that year was held at the Rest Hotel, Kenton on Wednesday 21st December. It was a special occasion commemorating both these important events in the School calendar. A record number of guests (180) attended and was notable for the number of past cadets present. The Guest of Honour was Air Vice Marshall A Foord-Keeley CBE AFC RAF. A highlight was the presentation of a silver salver to Major D. M. Allan, the retiring Band
President. A number of pipers in full dress added colour to the occasion.

I wonder if anyone would like to add any memories of the CCF Centenary?
