Anniversary of JUPITER F85 loss in Java Sea

February 27th 2017 is the 75th Anniversary of the sinking by Mine of F85, in the Java Sea, a wreath laying at the Jupiter's Memorial Tree in the National Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas, near Lichfield, Staffordshire will take place at 1200 to mark this event.

Prior to the wreath laying we attend The Millennium Chapel of Peace and Forgiveness at the Remembrance Centre and is the only place in the country where the Act of Remembrance is observed daily at 11 am.

Would those wishing to attend please contact me as I have to inform the NMA if large groups are attending any official event, dress is Medals/Jupiter Ties/Blazers/Jackets/Berets if at all possible please as we are respecting our former Jupiter shipmates. Please meet in the NMA reception area at 1040 prior to going into the Chapel.
