Fareham College students back for another year
16 October 2012
Students on the
Uniformed Services Course at Fareham Tertiary College are back and
volunteering in our UK cemeteries for the second year in a
row.
Last year's group
volunteered at a number of cemeteries across the South
East, demonstrating great drive and determination across a variety of
projects.
This year's
students have been split into two groups of 15, to allow them to
alternate between their college work and practical hands-on
experience.
This week
they have been assisting with a renovation project at Brookwood
Military Cemetery, where they managed to move 35 tonnes of
topsoil in a day -- beating the previous week's total by five
tonnes!
The groups are
led by Bernie Doran, our Head Gardener in the South East.
The students will
have the chance both to learn about the CWGC as an organisation and
to research the stories of individual casualties.
A photo album of
their work can be found here via our Facebook page.
