 'The Faithful' Inkerman Dinner Club

 

         History

   

 

       
   

 

 In 1987 some 20 years after D Company LI (Volunteers) was formed, some ex-members of the Company organised a reunion dinner.

 

Over 90% of the original Company attended.

 

'THE FAITHFUL' INKERMAN DINNER CLUB was born.

 

A committee was formed to organise an annual reunion dinner  on INKERMAN DAY, 5th November, or the nearest Saturday evening to that date.

 

Later, it was decided to open membership to those who had served in the Light Infantry.

 

The story of the Battle of Inkerman and the role of the 68th Regiment of Foot is told on the Light Infantry web site at:
