Without the resolute efforts of the 'Faithful' Inkerman Dinner Club members there would have been no ceremony nor any Celebration Stone to pay tribute to the Regiment's most heroic acts of bravery.

With this final act the Durhams have commemorated and remained Faithful to their comrades in arms down through their proud history ..... to the very last.
