BOOKS FOR THE TROOPS

 

THE FOLLOWING APPEAL FOR HELP WAS RECEIVED FROM THE CHAPLAIN WITH THE ROYAL MARINES IN AFGHANISTAN:

 

“Hi everyone,

 

Hello from a rather cold Afghanistan.

 

Could I make a request from the Chaplaincy here for the Royal Marines?

There is a lack of books and sweets and they always go down well.

 

Do you have any old paperbacks that the lads might like to read? - anything really except Mills and Boon romances! Also sweets – the ones that come individually wrapped like boiled sweets.

 

Many thanks indeed.

 

Peter”

 

 

 

 

Packets under 2KG are posted free from any UK post office.

 

If you can help please post paperbacks or sweets to:

 

Rev Peter Scott

Chaplain

Cdo Log Rgt Royal Marines     

Bastion

BFPO792

(DO NOT INCLUDE THE NAME “AFGHANISTAN” ANYWHERE ON THE ADDRESS)

 

This request was originally received by the Chaplain of the Portsmouth Rtd. Naval Officers Association but we felt it deserved wider distribution.
