Norfolk ACF Desert Raiders - Sorry, this is no longer on the site.
In 2006 the Norfolk Editor was instructed to delete from this site all NACF pieces, featuring Cadets, which appeared in the B&C Norfolk Section 2001-2005.
If any NACF Cadets and Adults who served in that period wish to have a copy of them,  e-mail the Norfolk Editor.

THANK GOD AND THE INFANTRY
 B&C 104 Jun 05 incorrectly stated that the book by Capt John Lincoln MC ‘Thank God and the Infantry’ was available from the Regimental Museum. It is out of print so readers seeking a copy should try www.ebay.com on the internet. [B&C 105]

THANKS LIZ, ANDREW, SIMON & COL TONY
 B&C readers may be unaware of the inestimable support and work that getting this B&C to you involves RHQ Norwich staff. Andrew Wolvin posts and e-mails items, Liz Reeve collates it all and Col Tony Taylor does the final proof-read (groaning at my ‘Funnies’) and personally takes it to the printer. (Not forgetting Simon Hatch - when he’s not sunning himself in Iraq! Normally serving next door in the TA Centre as Mortar Pl Sgt with A (Norfolk and Suffolk Coy), East of England Regt, he was mobilized in Jan 05 for Regular Service, returning in time for this Dec 05 B&C envelope filling ! Good timing Simon!) Many thanks to you all.

2 COY NORFOLK ACF
While reports from Norfolk ACF disappeared from the B&C when the Norfolk Editor obtained a new passport and shipped to Suffolk ACF in 2004 (see Suffolk ACF Report Dec 05), news arrives about NACF 2 Coy Reunions, masterminded by Ray Lambert.
A BBQ was held at Weybread on 13 Aug 05, attended by Capt Paul Allen and RSMI Ian ‘Yogi ’Burnett (mit kilt?).

Editorial Rule
 To qualify for inclusion in the B&C there is only one rule - something described must have been said to have happened. 
The authority is the Editor, British Army Review No 114 Dec 96, `If the facts don`t fit the legend, print the legend’.

However, the rules of good taste, respect and confidentiality are always applied.

Rule Britannia!
