New Division With a Special Name

A new division of recruits have joined BRNC to commence training. To recognise the unique nature of their course, the first ratings at BRNC have formed Whittall Division. Named in honour of Petty Officer Wren Ellen Whittall who was the only fatality when the college was bombed in September 1942.

The very best of luck to all the division but a special mention to Sophie Loraine – have the best of times making lifelong friends and enjoy an exciting career ⚓️
