TA parade
The Territorial Army’s 240 Transport Squadron, based in St Albans Road, Barnet, celebrated its February homecoming from a six-month tour of duty in Afghanistan with a medal parade at London’s City Hall last Wednesday. Among the 53-strong contingent was 22-year-old Barnet resident Dean Gillson, who has been with the Territorial Army for four years. He said he was proud to receive his medal, but did not feel heroic. He added: “We were just out on the road doing our job, doing what we were trained to do.”
