EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this nostalgic print from 5th February 1994, we are transported back to the Loftus Army Cadets headquarters in Saltburn-by-the-Sea. The image showcases a significant moment for the organization as they welcomed their first girl recruit, Ruth Duck, aged just 13 years old. Under the watchful eye of new female instructor Sgt Janette Allison, Ruth receives valuable tuition on the mini rifle range. This snapshot encapsulates the spirit and determination of young cadets during the 1990s. As part of the Army Cadet Force (ACF), these dedicated youths were committed to honing their skills and preparing themselves for future challenges. With guns at hand and an atmosphere charged with excitement, it is evident that training was taken seriously within this esteemed organization. The photograph serves as a reminder of how important organizations like ACF were in shaping young minds and instilling discipline and responsibility among youth during this era. It also highlights the progress made towards gender equality within traditionally male-dominated spaces. Colin Robertson's expertly captured image not only freezes a moment in time but also preserves a piece of history that resonates with both former cadets and those interested in military heritage alike.
