OA Sword 2022At the end of July, the OA Sword was presented Ceremonial Divisions at HMS COLLINGWOOD, this year by the First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Ben Key KCB CBE ADC. It was comforting to see the parade ground relatively full again after the changes forced by the pandemic. We were treated to an impressive marching display by the Guard, as well as three rifle volleys.
The Sword was awarded to Lt Ross Lyth, for outstanding leadership within Victory Squadron, which takes new entry ratings after their initial training at HMS RALEIGH and prepares them for the Fleet. Many congratulations to Lt Lyth for this award and we wish him well in his future career. Full details of the Sword's previous owner and a copy of the citation for Lt Lyth can be found on the 2022 Sword page | ||
