Sandhurst Success for Old Peterite Ed Roebuck

Old Peterite Ed Roebuck (2021) passed off the Commissioning Course Short 213 at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst on Saturday 20 November.

Ed was named the best Officer Cadet on the Army Internship Scheme and marched out to receive his Cane. He is now joining 3 Rifles in Edinburgh for a year as Platoon Commander before starting University where he hopes to study History.

Ed’s Platoon Commander said: “Mr Roebuck is an absolute credit to his CCF. He was Platoon Commander on our most recent field exercise and was by far the best I’ve seen in my time at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst so far. Knowledgeable, calm and a great leader on the battlefield despite his young age; he’ll go far!”

Captain Tom Smith from the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) at St Peter’s School, said: “All of the CCF team are so proud of Ed and he has certainly set a high benchmark for his two sisters who are still with us.”

Ed said: “I’m delighted to have received the ‘Best Intern’ award at Sandhurst. The course was very difficult but also really enjoyable and I’d love to go back after university to attend the Regular Commissioning Course.”
