    An item for auction

    Ok,

    I'm a massive fan of parcels for troops -having been saved by a bag of Haribo whilst in Iraq/Afghan.

    I sent a PM to Sir Clifford offering an item for auction, he has asked me to post on the thread so here goes:

    The item, which Sir Ciff will auction is a book titled 'A Special Kind of Courage'. This is the official story of the British Army's most decorated unit - its Northern Ireland bomb disposal squadron.

    It will be be signed by the present Senior Ammunition Technican of 321 EOD Sqn.

    I have also asked a friend of mine if she would write a few words on the inside and sign it - a wonderful lady called Christina Schmid (if you have not heard of her then i suggest you google her name).

    I hope members will agree with me - those two signatures will make the book a bit special (hell, i might just bid on it myself!!)

    Here is a link to some info on the book:

    Come on Gents, the book alone, WITHOUT the two signatures is worth £17.99..

    £40 is a fine offer, but, if you can afford a bit more... please bid for this special book.

    Remember this: Typically, one parcel we send to our troops costs approximately £5.00

    £50 will buy 10 parcels. You only need look at the threads Gary and I have put on here over the years to see just how much the parcels mean to our troops.

    So, please... if you can... dig deep.

    I thank you.
