“A corporal at Bastion in Afghanistan heard how much not having proper showers (they only had solar pack showers) was affecting morale in the troops on the front line and happened to have access to a paddling pool, so he sent it on to them. They were thrilled.”
What a wonderful reminder that kindness shows up in the most unexpected places. Thank you to the squaddie who sent this in to us – and to all who have served.
You can support veterans through the Royal British Legion‘s Poppy Appeal.
