The Arracan Veterans' Association website has been designed as a tribute to the soldiers and families that have served with this battery. We have always prided ourselves on being a family and so we are not just here for the soldier, but also for their families too. We have created the Wives Club in the Forum and encourage wives, widows, partners and children to join. Click HERE to join in. We can also create a kids clubs or whatever you want.
March saw us celebrate Arracan Day at the Three Queen's Hotel in Burton on Trent after a visit to the NMA/AFM. A fantastic time was had by all who attended.
The Battery are now deployed for 6 months and we have started Op Mentor, a pen pal scheme which will hopefully go well. I'll keep you informed.
The next thing we are looking forward to as an Association is the 4th Annual Redneck Reunion on 19th June 2010 at the Victory Club, Sunderland. This now forms part of a Reunion Weekend that includes the 4th Regt RA Reunion Golf Competition and the 4th Regt RA Reunion, both on the 18th June.
All we need to make this a successful group is you. If you meet a mate on the street, tell us. We want to know. If you play golf with a Redneck, insult his follow through here... We want to know. If you are trying to find an old mate. Ask us, because we want to help. I've see and heard of great acts of comeraderie from Rednecks since they've been out of the army and it's humbling.
Three years ago we had our first Redneck Reunion and each Reunion we have had since has been bigger and better.
One day we will have a massive Redneck BBQ with wives, kids, girlfriends, boyfriends and pets if necessary. But to make that happen, you have to join.
Regards
Taff Fitzgerald
