Craftsman Cup Champions 🏆🔧. Bit of good news — the LAD have just lifted the Craftsman Cup after a tense final that went all the way to sudden death penalties. A proper nail-biter!. Massive shoutout to Fus Marks and Sgt Davidson for their key roles in securing the win.

The day honours the Battle of Minden (1 August 1759), when the 20th Foot — later the RRF — advanced under fire and broke massed French cavalry, earning a place in history and our enduring tradition of wearing red and yellow roses. 2/3.

Endure 24 Champions 🔧🏃‍♂️. The LAD placed 1st at the REME Endure 24, completing a 5km run on the hour, every hour. SSgt Field’s team absolutely smashed it, closing out their final 5km in under 20 minutes. Outstanding effort all round — engineering excellence meets endurance.

They’ll face cold water, strong currents, and the open sea. This will be the first Fusilier team and the first mixed-gender Inf team. They’re swimming in support of the Fusiliers Aid Society, which provides vital assistance to Fusiliers past and present, and their families.
