Leicestershire, Northamptonshire & Rutland Army Cadet Force


	B Squadron spend the day at Imber Village, where they have been putting their military skills to good practice.
Imber Village has been a ghost town since December 1943 when the MOD suddenly and permanently evicted the residents and it has been used for military training ever since. The thatched cottages were flattened by the MOD and modern looking houses with corrugated roofs were built in their place. There is still the sign hanging over the pub door and the church is visited once a year by surviving relatives of the people who lived and died in Imber village. Local legend tells of the ghost of Imber village living in the first two houses at the entrance to the village; he is reportedly a Cavalier and can be seen walking up and down the road at night.


Another surviving part of the original village is this Roll of honour to the men of Imber who served, and in some cases died, during the First World War.
	The Four Star Cadre, seen here patrolling around the village, are spending much of their week "in the field".

Above, the Trainign Safety Advisor is seen giving his expert advice on Imber Village to E Company.
	Cadet Cpls Jordan Potter and Ed Snoxall of E Coy think that camp is excellent and well thought out. They are both impressed that they are kept so well informed and think that the training area is fantastic.The food is also very enjoyable with a great deal of variety.
Meanwhile F Squadron were enjoying their day taking full advantage of the Adventurous Training Package.
