CHS - FEATURE OF THE MONTH
JUNE
This booklet lists the Cranwellians lost at the time of the Dunkirk and D-Day campaigns, and contains newsreels of the two events that can be played on line or downloaded depending on your browser settings.
Pre WWII & WWII
Post WWII
This album reviews the training of students from Siam (Thailand), India and Iraq prior to WWII and the significant training contribution made by the College SFTS to allied forces during WWII.
This is a link to the Honours Album for Era 4 Cranwellians (IOT/IOTC/SERE 1980 to 2019). It is updated in June every year to include Cranwellian recipients of the latest Birthday Years Honours.
Following the war, the College resumed its Flight Cadet training scheme that occasionally included foreign students. However, with the centralisation of all officer training at Cranwell under the Single Gate Initial Officer Training scheme in 1978, the College considerably extended its reach as this album shows. [This album is reinstated, refuting an earlier, erroneous claim that it "potentially breached GDPR", which it doesn't.]
