Fantastic to spend the day in Aldershot with @DefenceSikhNW at their 5th annual Holla Mohalla celebration last week. The day involved traditional games, a shooting competition & throwing of 'rang' (colour) to mark victory. Thank you to the organisers for an inspiring day.

To celebrate today, here are some of our fabulous network members (left), and Committee members (pictured right) alongside our Sikh Chaplain🙌🏼 The DSN is proud to be pushing for greater inclusivity across MOD. Honoured. Inspired. Motivated. 🚀 #InternationalWomensDay #defence

Today, we honor the sacrifices of those who have served with bravery and resilience. The Ode of Remembrance reminds us of their unwavering courage and the legacy they leave behind. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them. #ArmisticeDay
