Amble Detachment
A message from the Detachment Commander
WSI T. Hedley
Hello I'm WSI Hedley, Detachment Commander of Amble.
I joined the ACF as an adult in 1998 and passed my ITC and became a Sergeant in 1999. I had been a cadet briefly when I was younger and when I was 18 I was looking for something challenging but fun to fill in my time. I decided to rejoin the ACF and have never looked back.
The best part of being an adult instructor is when I've taught a lesson and the cadets have learnt something.
I don't have any previous military experience or qualifications but neither do a lot of the Instructors in the Army Cadets, however I am the Duke of Edinburgh rep in my Detachment.
Amble Detachment had the privilege of being the first ACF Detachment to be affiliated to the Coldstream Guards, thanks to one of it's past Detachment Commanders who was a Guardsman in his day. We rebadged on the 22nd April 2000 in honour of Viscount Lord Ridley retiring as Lord Lieutenant of Northumberland.
I would like to take this opportunity to invite anyone that is interested in joining the Army Cadet Force to come along to Amble Detachment on a Monday or Thursday night between 7 pm and 9 pm.
