Again in 2012 the sub branch sent
care packages to the troops serving in Afghanistan. A
total of 54 boxes were prepared by sub branch members
and sent with the assistance of sub branch member and
RSM of 7 Signal Regiment Warrant Officer Class 1
Peter Quinn.
The secretary of the sub branch, Al
Taylor and his wife Yvonne did the majority of the work
and their hard work is indeed an assist to the sub
branch. Some of the ladies from the sub branch and other
local Highfields ladies knitted some skull caps
(beanies) which the troops can wear under their combat
helmets or any other time, which helps to ward off the
bitter Afghan winter.
We would also like to thank the
proprietor, staff and suppliers of the Discount Drug
Store, Plaza Circuit, Highfields, who supplied a large
amount of the medical and personal items in the
packages.
Below are the details of the
packages, a letter from the sub branch President to the
troops, along with emails and letters of thanks from the
members serving overseas.
