Littlehampton Armed Forces Day

Chichester Branch members Fred Hill and Rod Ulrich spent the day, last Saturday, at Littlehampton demonstrating the workings of a Bren Gun. The Associations ‘cut-away’ weapon was loaned out for the occasion which aroused a lot of interest from those who attended a blustery Saturday on The Green at Littlehampton. A very wide variety of people popped past the Association’s ‘pop-up’ Gazebo from past members of the regiment to teenagers interested in the Bren Gun. It was agreed by those on the stand that this is an excellent way of raising our profile and getting the name of the Association out to the general public.
