I was aboard USS Montrose APA 212, during transport of Bordererers to Inchon Korea. It was a long time ago but remember clearly this historic Association with the Borderers. We watched a Western Movie 3 times.. If you have anyone aboard that remembers this trip, tell them to drop a line to me. Bill Wantuck, Houston, Texas...
Show your support for our soldiers in Afghanistan by wearing your "I SUPPORT 1SCOTS SOLDIERS IN AFGHANISTAN" Wristband.
The wristbands are desert camouflage colour with "I SUPPORT 1SCOTS SOLDIERS IN AFGHANISTAN" in black writing. We are asking for a donation for the wristbands (recommended minimum of £2 each), with every penny raised going directly to any of our soldiers (and their families) who are unfortunate enough to get injured during their tour in Afghanistan - at present we have a Company of approx 120 soldiers in Afghan attached to the 3RIFLES BG, they are due home mid April - and we have approx 300 soldiers due to deploy over the next week or so. At present (and I pray the numbers don't increase) we have had 2 soldiers killed and 21 return home injured, some with life-changing injuries - the money raised goes directly to making life more comfortable for these guys and their families left behind.
You can get the wristbands by phoning 0131 310 5238 or email onescots_uwo@hotmail.co.uk - you can also download an order form from our webiste when at www.support1scots.org.uk

Gentlemen,
We are organising an Armed Forces Day 'Parade of Colours' for 26th June, in Coldstream, we would be delighted if members of KOSB Association & Veterans could join us on this day (already mentioned to Bill Heaney). Any of you wishing to attend please RSVP by 31st March 2010 to email - kesbgm@hotmail.co.uk, and I will be happy to furnish you with details. Whilst the parade will involve mainly Veterans etc, it will be very much youth organisation orientated, as they are our future, and it is important they realise how much we owe to you and our serving personnel. Many thanks - Keith Cockburn
