marching in of the Gibraltar branch standard carried by Pete Link, once the regimental march was over a one
minutes silence was held, and the standard was lowered, after this every one took there seats to hear a
speech given by Bob Link were he thanked his brother Peter and Harry Ward for all there hard work in
