Commander Bill Andrew has been awarded the Cadet Forces Medal in recognition of his long and efficient service to the Royal Navy Combined Cadet Force (CCF).
The Cadet Forces Medal has been awarded since 1950 to all Cadet commissioned and non-commissioned officers with 12 years’ service. Bill was presented with his medal by Plymouth College Headmaster, Jonathan Standen.
Commander Bill Andrew took over command of the Plymouth College CCF Naval section in 2007 after a regular Royal Navy career of over 25 years. His extensive seamanship experience and knowledge of youth training has been pivotal in the continued success of the Contingent and development of training within the Navy section.
Plymouth College CCF Contingent Commander, Lt Col Pete Lewis, said: “Bill’s award is well deserved and recognises the selfless commitment, energy and determination he has shown to the Contingent. Congratulations from the Contingent, Plymouth College and the Royal Navy CCF organisation.”
