Soldiers’ parade – in pictures
Monday 8th June 2009, 12:43PM BST.
Former servicemen saluting during the service.
“We would like the memorial to serve three functions, firstly, to explain what the IJLB was and to commemorate its time at Oswestry, secondly to remember those of our number who fell on active service during the various conflicts of the late 20th century, at Cyprus, Aden, Northern Ireland and the Falklands and lastly, to commemorate the unique relationship the IJLB had with the people of Oswestry.”
Following the parade there was a beating of the retreat ceremony at the Park Hall Showground, formerly part of the large army camp.
