The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst welcomed alumni from Intake 12 & 13 for their 70th Reunion, a significant milestone honouring their service and camaraderie. Held on 16th May and organised by the Sandhurst Trust, the event brought together former cadets to reminisce and celebrate their shared experiences.

Alumni had the opportunity to tour familiar landmarks, including the Royal Memorial Chapel, the parade ground and the rooms of  Old College, where they once honed their skills and forged lifelong friendships.

In the Indian Army Memorial Room, Alumni gathered around tables scattered with old photographs, their faces lighting up with recognition and nostalgia. As they pored over the images, they pointed out their younger selves and long-lost friends, sparking a cascade of memories and stories. Laughter and animated conversations filled the room as they recounted tales of their time at Sandhurst and the diverse paths their lives had taken since. Some spoke of illustrious military careers, while others shared experiences from civilian life, reflecting on how their training had shaped their character and choices. The photos served as a powerful reminder of the enduring bonds formed at Sandhurst and the shared history that continued to connect them, regardless of where life had led.

The Sandhurst Trust team sourced videos of the 1954 Sovereign’s Parades, creating an unforgettable experience for the guests. For many, it was the first time in 70 years they had seen their own parades, a poignant reminder of their youth and the beginning of their military careers.
