Glad to see you got the photos working Pete.
And you should be very proud.

It's easy for people to forget what our troops have to go through every day around the globe.

Hope he manages to get some leave for Christmas.

Hi All,

Thanks for the kind comments,

Smiley: Thanks for the help with the photo problem. It was that storage site.

Unfortunately, the whole squad wont be home for Christmas or the New Year, Although they're expecting a 14 day R&R in late January, early February. They have just found out that their tour has been extended by at least a month. The reason is political so I won't go into that. Although I have written a strong letter to my MP.

Of course, some details I hear from the RM base in Devon (News-Letter) are covered by the Official Secrets Act (actual locations Etc), so I have to be careful what I write here.

Anyway, thanks once again for the kind words.
Cheers
Pete.
