Junior Officer's Sword of Excellence
The newest award at Vernon is awarded to the top subaltern officer. Recognizing the hard work, professionalism and dedication required by the junior officers in the line companies. This award was recommended by the VACC Alumni Association and former Commanding Officer HCol David Kinloch in 2002. It was formally donated to the training centre on June 29, 2003 by the Alumni Association and by David Kinloch's widow Mrs Kinloch. The Sword of Excellence in its oak case is displayed in the officers mess through out the summer. Uniquely, the previous year's winner of the sword carries the sword on the Final parade and hands over to Mrs Kinloch to present to the new winner each summer.2003 - to date Winners
