Hello,

I hope you don't mind me leaving this message.
I'm ex WRAF from a few years ago and along with an ex QARAMC (who now lives in Canada) we run a forum called Kitbag Mates mainly for ex service men and women to meet up and chat about anything and everything, but without the heavy stuff. We even have 3 ww2 Veterans on board, who are excellent on the computer and bright as buttons.

We have only been going for 6 weeks and are gradually building up our membership.

The reason I'm on here is that one of our members son's has just returned to Iraq and is sending parcels and goodies via him and a female colleague for those that don't have anyone to send them things.

Now we would like to do more ourselves, but I notice this is just for British personnel.

Is there anywhere, or a site that you know off that
includes British, Canadians, Australians etc........the whole of the Commonwealth who are out in these danger zones, that is supporting them?

Thanks for any help and I can give my email if this helps.

Lin

BTW this seems a nice helpful site and great for those that need to have a contact.

Right, lynx1 & i have had a productive morning ...ive got about 50-60 shoe boxes in my car at the min, lynx is picking somemore up at 4-30pm this afternoon, will also pick some more up tommorrow we've got some goodies too.
may i say a big thanks to the 3 shoe shops on whalley rd, madhouse & the clarks shop & barbara kays too who kindly donated £10 to buy goodies for our lads & lasses nice one.

Would I be better of getting the selection packs rather than boxes? I am only asking because I think a selection box doesn't leave much room for anything else to fit in the shoe box.
