Soldiers Letter

Received 14th December 2008 via e-mail from Afghanistan

A sad week for the Corps, I'm told they got a kid to push the wheel barrow across the town and then set off the bomb by remote control, probably without his knowing it was going to happen.

Daily life goes on in these markets and bazaars. The Taliban are animals, they have no qualms about killing their own people to get one of us. There are no rules out here, its very confusing for a westerner to understand what makes them tick. West Belfast was a doddle, at least you knew where they lived and that they were never going to risk their own skins to get one of us.

Just a quick note to say many thanks for my own and others boxes that have been arriving lately.

The boxes are being flown out via the Sea King and Chinook helicopters to the Fob's (front line operating bases). They are gratefully received from the helicopter crews who say the response is extremely positive!

Many thanks once again on behalf of all of us out here, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a peaceful new year.
