  • 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.

Coming as this starement does ac the first conference since the greatest war in history, it gives renewed significance to the force of our moral code, and reminds us what that code has meant to the thousands of young people who held co it durmg war years. Adaptation:; tn program vary according to the needs of the different countries: the Promise and the Laws stand fast. In contrast to the senousness of such thoughts, the settmg of the confc:rence at Evtan-les-Bains in Haute-Savote, France, was one of graciou:.ness and charm. Our hostess country had secured the use of a famous and comfortable resort hotel ovedooktng Lake Leman, with mountains behind it and tempting walks into them if one only had the rime betwc:en sessions. A wide terrace and garden tn front were ideal for discussion groups. In the garden every morning ac nine, the conference assembled for Colors, arranged and attended by girls and their leaders from six French camps situated either tn the park of the hotel or a little further up the mountainside. Two large fiags- the French Flag and the World Flag- were raised, there was a song, and generally a few words from someone chosen from the various delegations, always emphasizing the internattonal aspect of Girl Scouttng and Guiding.
