| WE PARADE WITH SOME PROUD FRENCH EX-SERVICEMEN |
2006 found THE RIFLES on the Somme battlefields with our parent organisation the Great War Society. For six days
we traveled around the sites of the action and took part in numerous commemoration activities. It was a very tiring
and moving week, and one we will never forget.
