War Hero
"Happy birthday to us!
Today is the 80th anniversary of our commissioning on 9 January 1940.
Raleigh was established by the Military Training Act of 1939 as a training establishment for Ordinary Seamen in the build-up to the Second World War.
During the war years we accepted around 300 new entrants per week for an 11 week course. We’ve grown since then and now provide a wide range of specialist training as well as new entry."
