ASAADMIN • September 7, 2024
It is with great pleasure that the Ancre Somme Association Charity extends its heartfelt congratulations to our esteemed member, Calum McShane, on the momentous occasion of his passing out from Cunningham Division of HMS Raleigh.
Lead Hand McShane has embarked on an accelerated program that will see him initially deployed to HMS Collingwood, where he will diligently develop his academic prowess in the field of Weapons Engineering Leadership.
Calum was accompanied today by his proud parents, Darryl and Leanne, and his sister Alexandra, who shared in the joy of this significant milestone.
On behalf of the entire charity, we extend our warmest wishes to Calum as he embarks on this exciting journey. May he find continued success and fulfilment in all his future endeavours.
