Yesterday the recruits spent the day reflecting on the realities of war. This consisted of various senior ranking individuals delivering briefs on their experiences of combat, alongside a trip into London to the National Army Museum where each section delivered a brief on a specific conflict they had researched. Looking forward, they are conducting more ranges this week as build up to an important shoot which is the Annual Combat Marksmanship Test. The week finishes with the recruits welcoming families and friends to Pirbright on Saturday.
