Army Cadet Force
Licensed Victuallers' School also temporarily houses an Army Cadet Force (ACF) unit: 4 Platoon (Irish Guards) Ascot of the Royal County of Berkshire ACF. Although the unit is not permanently based at Licensed Victuallers', it has established itself in the school and now recruits from the school, as well as the local and surrounding area. The cadet unit is mostly made up of Licensed Victuallers' pupils, but also includes cadets from Ascot and other nearby towns and villages.

Famous quotes containing the words army and/or force:
“Here was a great woman; a magnificent, generous, gallant, reckless, fated fool of a woman. There was never a place for her in the ranks of the terrible, slow army of the cautious. She ran ahead, where there were no paths.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“To-day ... when material prosperity and well earned ease and luxury are assured facts from a national standpoint, woman’s work and woman’s influence are needed as never before; needed to bring a heart power into this money getting, dollar-worshipping civilization; needed to bring a moral force into the utilitarian motives and interests of the time; needed to stand for God and Home and Native Land versus gain and greed and grasping selfishness.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
