Request for Information
Kevin Humphreys (proud father of two sons currently serving) is currently compiling a book of military anecdotes and is gathering suitable stories for inclusion in the proposed book. Upon completion it is hoped that it will be published and all proceeds will go to the Charity Combat Stress.
The stories/anecdotes may be from any part of Service life, and must be humorous, but appropriate! All contributors will receive full accreditation within the Book.
Please contact him directly on: khumphr@westminster.gov.uk
Awards
We are proud indeed to have been awarded another Military Cross (MC) in the recent Operational Honours List. This was awarded to Major Douglas Fraser RAMC Regimental Medical Officer (RMO) to The Royal Gurkha Riffles Battle Group on OP HERRICK 7 (Afghanistan). The citation is lengthy and can be viewed by clicking here, it is worth a read and I think it more than sumarises our professional standing today with the rest of the Army, it is higher than it has ever been in recent years.
