Review
A befitting tribute to these unsung heroes ... a must read for all those currently in the cadet ranks and the ACF's many graduates. --Soldier Magazine, June 2010
Product Description
Since its creation an impressive 150 years ago, the Army Cadet Force has strived to instil the core values of self-discipline, teamwork and civic responsibility into its young members. This is achieved by means of tried and tested training packages that include expeditions, military skills such as shooting and fieldcraft, first-aid and community projects.
Parallel bodies abroad - in Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, the West Indies and elsewhere - are also described and celebrated, together with the history and achievements of the brother organisation, the CCF.
Mike Ryan presents a study of an all-inclusive society that seeks to provide key skills to its members, a considerable number of whom go on to join the armed forces. At a time when the young are so often seen as out of control and lacking direction, this book honours these cadets who are a credit to their country and yet seldom get recognition for their achievements.
