The Royal Bahamas Defence Force joined the world and the country in paying tributes to the men and women who served in active duty during World Wars I and II. During a weekend of activities, the Commander Defence Force (Acting), officers and marines participated in wreath-laying ceremonies at the Veterans War Cemetery, Infant View Road, and at the Cenotaph memorial, downtown Nassau. They also joined in with the surviving members of the British Legion – Bahamas Branch for a military flag raising ceremony at the branch’s headquarters, adjacent to St. Agnes Parish, Blue Hills Road. A service of Thanksgiving took place at the church.
