Northern Gunners St Barbara Commemoration |
A service of remembrance was held to remember the Northern Gunners who had lost their lives in conflict.
The wintry weather precluded the service being held in the planned location of Tynemouth Priory, and the proceedings were moved indoors to the Tynemouth Army Reserve Centre. The Commanding Officer and Regimental Sergeant Major of 101 RA laid a wreath at the Gunner Memorial in Tynemouth Priory after the service.
