Received from Iraq November 2008

I would just like to say a big thank you for the lovely care packages that you sent to me and all the lads here in Iraq.

It puts a massive smile on our faces that there are people out there who care about what we're doing, it gives us a huge morale boost and makes us proud to be British soldiers.

Even though I am leaving the army in April, it just makes me feel that what I've done in the last few years was all worth while.

Once again we can't thank you wonderful people enough for being so kind.

Regards and best wishes from myself all the lads in Iraq,
Rifleman T
