War Bow Presented to Mercian Regiment
On 22 April 2016 the Master Bowyer, Revd John Hayton TD, attended the Officers' Regimental Dining Night of The Mercian Regiment, held at the Six Ways Rugby Stadium in Worcester. The opportunity was taken to cement the already close bonds between the Company and our affiliated Regiment by presenting a specially commissioned full-size war bow. The presentation was made by the Master to the Colonel of the Regiment, Brigadier Andrew Williams OBE, who accepted it on behalf of the Regiment with great pleasure.
