  • Imjinsummer 2019
    the Voice of Innsworth Station imjinSummer 2019 On the ball Our Girl at Gloucester-Hartpury page 10 COMARRC’S INTRODUCTION Welcome to the summer edition of the imjin magazine. As I look through this latest edition, I’m reminded what a really busy and interesting place Imjin Barracks is to live and work. There is currently a renewed interest in NATO, not least because the Alliance is celebrating its 70th anniversary. Meanwhile, the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps will also be marking two other significant dates – it’s 75 years since ‘D-Day’ at Normandy, where our forebears, in 1st British Corps, commanded the Allied landings at Sword and Juno beaches, and it’s now 20 years since the ARRC led the intervention in Kosovo in June 1999. So, with this rich heritage and long association with NATO, the ARRC remains as relevant as ever to the Alliance, particularly as we prepare to become the first NATO warfighting corps to be held at readiness since the Cold War. This magazine includes news from Imjin Barracks and beyond. Importantly, it also offers plenty of suggestions as to what to explore in the local area. Lieutenant General Tim Radford CB DSO OBE Commander Allied Rapid Reaction Corps CONNECT WITH WORDS FROM THE EDITOR THE ARRC ON Salut, les amis! SOCIAL MEDIA I love working for NATO. After two decades serving across the world with the For the latest on the Allied Rapid British Army, I find myself feeling very at home here Reaction Corps visit our website in Gloucester. It must be the camaraderie.

Also thanks to everyone who took part in MTC’s public ‘Call for Favourite Views’ competition, and for giving us permission to use some of the wonderful photographs that were submitted. Chris Turner’s winning entry is featured on the front cover of this report, and was also selected as one of the town’s ‘Exceptional’ Key Viewpoints. It is an excellent example: taken from the A449 Worcester Road looking east over Malvern Link Common, the photo captures many of the town’s most characteristic, distinctive and valuable features - avenues of mature trees, well-managed common land, heritage and cultural assets (Victorian era pillar box, railway bridge and Temperance Drinking Fountain), public art (Malvern Link gateway sign) and Malvern stone.
