Last week I had the honour and privilege of capturing family portraits for 58 Fd Sqn (EOD) Royal Engineers, after their home coming and medal parade, at 33 Engineer Regiment (EOD) Carver Barracks, Wimbish.

The Squadron have just had an arduous and very long 6 month tour of Afghanistan clearing the roads and routes across the country of improvised explosive devices (IED’s). So as you can image everyone was excited to welcome them home.

Whilst out in Afghanistan the Squadron raised a phenomenoal £15,000 for BLESMA, the British Limbless Ex Service Men’s Association. BLESMA is the national charity for limbless serving and ex service men and women and their dependants and widows. This charity is close to the hearts of those in the Unit and it was an exceptionally proud moment when they presented the cheque to BLESMA at the parade.

I am not going to share their intimate portraits with you.  I want to share an image of remembrance for all those  who have been seriously injured or who won’t be coming home, we won’t forget.

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them.”
