he long awaited, delayed a few times, the Corps Warrant Officers’ and Sergeants’ Mess Autumn Dinner Night was held on 4th November 2021 in the Harris MM Warrant Officers’ and Sergeants’ Mess. The dinner night was held to dine in the Corps Artificer Sergeant Major, Dan McNeill, although in post for nearly 18 month and to say a farewell to service personnel that have left the Corps during the COVID pandemic. It only seemed fitting that, as a Corps, we gave all Warrant Officers and SNCO’s who had left the Corps in the past 18 month the chance to attend the dinner night and officially be dined out and we thank the following for their service and for attending; where a great night was had by all.
