Now everything is down to you to make the day a resounding success, I
ask all who are able to please attend, as this will probably be the
last major Rangers event, as most of us are not getting any
younger.
And the lads of the Yorkshire Branch have worked very hard for all our
benefits and deserve our full support, as there were no 40th
Celebrations available elsewhere at the time.

The Royal Irish Rangers were one of the most distinguished and
proud regiments of the line, famous worldwide for their excellence at
their work, bravery of the Irish Soldier, faithful to friend, fearful
to foe.
On Sunday 17th June 2007 we have the chance to honour all the Irish
soldiers whom lost their lives in service of the crown, with a parade
down Whitehall to the cenotaph. These men gave all for our freedom, it
is our duty as ex soldiers to commemerate their lives, and therefore I
appeal to all who are able to attend the parade, to do so please.
The parade forms up at 10:00hrs in Whitehall Place, Whitehall, London,
SW1
I look forward to seeing you all there

I would like to take this opportunity to quash the rumour that seems
to be going around about Anto Whickham, with regards to the captured 5
out in Iraq.
I have today been in touch with Anto and he has asked that I post this
entry to let people know that he is safe and well. He is currently
having difficulty posting any entries onto the site - Gerry can you
assist him in any way, I have his email address should you require it.
So for those that were concerned about him, he is ok. He also wanted
to extend his sincere thanks to all the Ranger Family for thinking
about him.
As for Geordie Watton I asked Anto and he thought he was out in
Africa, this is unconfirmed.
