Tash,

surely the concept is all yours. If it's accepted I will post a link to sign it. I really do hope it is accepted.

"the reference to "senior officers' incompetence" suggests a lack of awareness of the full story surrounding the efforts made to encourage the Welsh Guards to disembark from RFA SIR GALAHAD"

as I understood it is was relatively junior officers who insisted on staying on board

Whilst waiting for the government to respond, I managed to get this one on Change. Org;

Please join this campaign: http://chn.ge/1kFyqTe

Perhaps it could be a bit more eloquent, but I think a straightforward statement is all that's needed. Simon Weston needs no description from the likes of me. Hopefully it will get some support. 99 needed to get it going.

Goudie

That is a damn good idea


Why not other forums as well like Rotary ?


I'll leave it to the OP to do unless someone says otherwise.

500N,

How do we put this on other forums, is it simply starting new threads ? I'm all for drumming up more support for tash's original idea. Can a MOD suggest how we can link this across fora? If someone steers me, I will comply. 65 now gentlemen, lets break the ton tonight !!!!!!
