Conservatives Honoured to Support Armed Forces Day 2019

This weekend Local Conservative Councillors felt immensely proud & privileged to represent their constituents at Armed Forces Day.

Medway has a strong connection to its rich military heritage, and this years event provided a fantastic opportunity to thank those who serve or have served in our Armed Forces. 

Taking place in partnership with the Royal School of Military Engineering, this year's event saw over 25 acres of have-a-go displays from the Royal Engineers, Army medical services, the Infantry, Gurkhas, Royal Navy, Royal Marines Reserves, tri-service Cadet Forces and many more. 

Pictured are Councillors Jarrett, Kemp, Bhutia, Rupert Turpin, Brake, Etheridge, Wildey and Williams, as well as Conservative MPs Rehman Chishti and Kelly Tolhurst, with many other Conservative members in attendance.
