    It was one hot afternoon on the yard when the parcels arrived.  Being the first time receiving such a parcel, we didn’t know where it came from.  We got one of the sappers to open them and wow…. there were our fantasy snacks and travel packs.
    Everyone pounced on it like wounded lions, or more like tramps on chips.  God!!! It was nice and tasty.  Whilst enjoying it, I said to myself “So there are people out there appreciating what we are doing”.  The feeing did pump loads of morale into our system.  It gave us strength our hard training never did.
    We thank you very much for being there for us.
    The Engineer Log Sqn.

    On behalf of all the soldier and dogs at 101 TMWDSU I would like to write this letter to say a very big thank you for all your support and especially for the parcels you have continued to send to us over the summer months during out tour here in Afghanistan.  We have been overwhelmed by the support the public and especially people like yourself have shown for us and it really makes us feel proud for the job we are doing here.  The parcels you have sent to us have really helped by reminding us of home and our loved ones and the dogs have especially enjoyed the treats that were sent out.

    you may be glad to know that we are now approaching the end of our tour after completing 6 months here in Afghanistan and so are really looking forward to getting back to Aldershot with our friends and families.  Because of this we would, like to pass on your information to the next unit that will be taking over from us so that they can continue to write back to you and thank you for your support and if you like you can continue to send parcels to them as they begin their 6 months tour here.

    I thought it was only right to write a thank you note for your kind donation of welfare goods for the soldiers.  I am in command of a very small team so we do not normally receive any welfare packs as they are quite rightly sent to the fighting troops.  It is important for us out here in Afghanistan to know that the public are still behind us and these very kind gifts give us a much needed morale boost especially when we are nearing the end of what has been a very hard tour for us all out here.  Most of us are due to swap over but a small number of soldiers are only just starting like myself but it makes it so much easier to do a difficult job when we know that the public is 100% behind us.  Again thank you very much for your kind gift from all f us in the Military Provost Staff.

    I would like to thank you for my Christmas box I received the other day . It was a great morale boost at this time of year.
    We all made the best of a bad situation on Christmas Day by celebrating it with surprisingly enough an excellent meal eaten out on the sun on one of the forward operating bases. I would also like to wish you and all your team a very Happy New Year and an excellent year to come. Once again thanks for your gift and most of all your support for all of us out here.Yours Faithfully Sgt J S

    A message for Bertie and Ingrid,
    Just a short note to say a big thank you for your parcel. It arrived on a resupply run to my patrol base on the 23rd December 2009 so I was able to open it on Christmas day
    It’s a real privilege to receive a parcel, especially at this time of year from someone that you don’t know personally.
    As a company commander, I know how well received the parcels are by all of the soldiers and how grateful we are for them.
    We have settled into our bases just outside Musa Qala and are having a positive effect on the nationals that live close to our patrol bases.
    We made the best of being away for Christmas by holding a carol service on Christmas Eve. Thank you again for your parcel that was a lovely gesture. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Major S. Royal Anglian – Boxing Day 2009
