Silence is the rule to remember

I HAVE only one comment to make concerning the behaviour of cadets on Liberation Day: those cadets may have given up their time, but in order to achieve the Liberation, many gave their lives.

I think that more emphasis should be made of this fact and these young people should be taught that on such occasions there are times to chatter – but, above all, there are times to remain silent and to appreciate just what they have been given.

Maybe the CO needs to go on a refresher course and maybe, as a result, there will be less chattering next year.

I see all sides of this debate. After all of this critism let’s hope that the youth organisations have the maturity to even take part next year. With all of this sniping I for one wouldn’t blame them if they found something better to do on Liberation Day. We should be pleased that they take part at all. They take part as volunteers and thier contribution is significant. What about the adults who are constantly chattering? Let’s have a go at them too and maybe the new bailiff can address an empty Liberation Square next year. Shall we move on?
