‘COMING HOME’
Description
On 28 November 2013, 4 Military Intelligence Battalion exercised their Freedom of Marlborough by marching through the town with bayonets fixed and flags unfurled; marking the homecoming of personnel from Op HERRICK 18.
The parade, which marked the Battalion’s last mass deployment to Afghanistan, was led by the Battalion mascot, a greyhound named Whiteberry Boy (Blue), and the Band of the Grenadier Guards.
