COMMUNITY CELEBRATES ARMED FORCES CROWDS gathered in Penistone on Saturday June 24 to celebrate Armed Forces Day.
Penistone Armed Forces Day was a military arena style show with marching bands and public displays. One of the highlights of the day was a World War II 25lb field gun demonstration firing black powder blanks. Guest of honour, veteran Gunner Eddie Robinson from the South Notts Hussars Royal Artillery, fired the gun. Eddie, 93, was part of a six-man gun team and was re-assigned to the forward attachments deployed on D-Day and landed on Gold Beach. The artillery successfully liberated Caen and worked their way through the Falaise gap up to Belgium and fought in the battle at LaPanne. They then moved through Belgium and into Holland. Before reaching Germany the unit was posted back to England at the end of 1944 when General Montgomery disbanded the regiment. This was the first time that Eddie would have got this close to a field gun since the war. After firing the shot, Eddie said: “I fired that in the 1940s, in France during the war. So I’ve had a good crack on these 25-pounders. They’re good guns. And fast.” Also in attendance were World War II veterans, MP Angela Smith, MP Dan Jarvis, Mayor of Penistone Rodger Hinchcliffe, Mayor of Barnsley Cllr Jeff Ennis, Lord Mayor of Sheffield Cllr Anne Murphy and the Deputy Lieutenant John Hayward. Other displays and activities included a World War I re-enactment, a Civil War camp, military vehicles and veterans associations. A Spitfire plane also flew past.
