Dear Mum

Hi mum made back safe to sunny  afghan,  R&R was great, just getting my kit together no need to be sad, oh can you say hi to dad.

 
Hi mum just waiting to go up to the Forward Operating Base can’t wait to finally get out of this place

 
Hi mum got your parcel today shared the sweets with the guys loved the photos, brought a tear to my eyes.

 
Hi mum just got woke up again shots fired by the Taliban spent most of the day stood to with my mate wee Dan

 
Hi mum it’s me the pest just back from a long patrol just thought I would drop you a wee message before I head for a rest

 
Hi mum I’m feeling down and sad one of the boys was killed today he will be missed he was a great lad.

 
Hi mum off out on a long patrol so will be out of contact for a few days don’t worry it’s an easy one the sergeant says
 

Dear mum this is the medic by now you will know your son has passed on a few days ago just after seven,  his last words to me were tell mum and dad not to feel sad I will see them again in heaven.
