It would be nice to hopefully help brighten someone's day a little. I don't need a reply. Which is the best address to send letters to? There's a few and I got a bit confused to be honest. Or should I send it to the chaplain to give to someone who looks like they could do with a letter?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073063497947077958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006292833388885256.post-8998096920441781452015-02-07T13:09:42.201+11:002015-02-07T13:09:42.201+11:00Hi Alicia

The few letters I've got back have always made particular mention of the Gina Elise calendar - that would be the only item that might be questionable.<br />I don't really like the idea that the men and women serving abroad are missing out and some 'charity case' is getting the goodies instead. However, this might explain the thank-you card I got last year. It was sent from an army retirement village up in our northern suburbs.<br />That is certainly acceptable. I'd hope the calendar doesn't give the old diggers heart trouble, though.Gregoryno6http://gregoryno6.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006292833388885256.post-52431790517859010412014-11-20T09:46:14.307+11:002014-11-20T09:46:14.307+11:00G6

I'm assuming then that if the parcel can't be sent by Dec 8, wait until Boxing Day. At which point it's no longer a Christmas parcel, of course, but if you want it to get to a soldier rather than get handballed to charity...<br /><br />Is this some bureaucrat's way of saying 'It's all too hard, go away and stop annoying us'?Gregoryno6http://gregoryno6.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
