Col Ed Hall (E 95-00): Remembrance Sunday 175

We were honoured that Colonel Ed Hall (E 95-00) was able to return to Bradfield to deliver this years address on Remembrance Sunday;

'Twenty-five years ago, on the 150th anniversary, my brother and I sat where you do now, no doubt hoping whoever was speaking that day would keep it short and interesting! Well, at your invitation, I would like to say only a few words about the enduring importance of remembering those that have sacrificed their lives in war and conflict.

I will also offer a few thoughts on our obligations now, our shared responsibility to uphold the freedoms and values that our forebears fought and died for

Ed then went on to remember Old Bradfieldian Lt John Sanderson of the Mercian Regiment

Following the service, attendees retired to the Warden's room for drinks followed by a roast lunch in Hall, a great opportunity to warm up and remember with friends.
