The Association also had ten members at the WWI Battlefields over the 1st July period, courtesy of Dungannon Friends of the Somme’s annual trip. Some members do wear both caps and the Tyrone Association would like to thanks Des Cumberland, Stanley Simpson, Andy Smyth and Stevie Davison for all their help and support on the trip, which was an emotional rollercoaster.
