Commendations Commendations PRESIDENT’S COMMENDATIONS In June this year Mr Steve Dickinson, Brigade Secretary, presented Brigade President’s Commendations to: WILL MORTON 2nd Sutton Coldfield Company EWEN REID 3rd Inverness Company Ewan was presented with the President’s Commendation by the Brigade President recognising his presence of mind and prompt action in raising the alarm when discovering a neighbour’s house on fire. If it had not been for the speed of Ewen’s response it is very likely that the fire would have had tragic consequences. Ewen is a credit to himself, his family and The Boys’ Brigade. A year and a half ago, Will was a typical eleven year old, when he was suddenly taken ill and suffered severe physical disabilities. He spent many months undergoing hospital treatment. Despite his many health difficulties, Will has been a loyal and popular member of the Company and has shown great determination. While steadily recovering he participates as fully as possible in all activities. NEAL JOBLING 73rd Birmingham Company Despite his many health difficulties, Neal has been a loyal member of the Company since he joined four years ago. He participates as fully as possible in all activities, especially football. He is a popular company member and has shown great determination and commitment. Will, Neal and Ewen’s positive attitude is an inspiration to all who know them. They are a credit to themselves and their families and the Brigade is proud to have them as members. ARTHUR BEAUCHAMP AWARD Presented by Mr John Mendus MBE, President of Birmingham Battalion, on Sunday 25 June 2006 JOE ROOKE & LEO MORTON 2nd Sutton Coldfield Company The Arthur Beauchamp Trophy is awarded to boys / young men in the Battalion who deserve special recognition for effort, special achievements, or service beyond the call of duty. In June 2006 the Arthur Beauchamp Trophy was awarded to Joe Rooke and Leo Morton of the 2nd Sutton Coldfield Company in recognition of their support for Will Morton. Joe is Will’s best friend who first introduced him to The Boys’ Brigade and is always with him to help him on Company nights. Leo, Will’s younger brother, is also a member of the Company and is always willing to help out when needed.
