Letters from the Soldiers
Women's Auxiliary Recently in Canberra the Victoria Cross Holders asked that we give
our overseas forces our full support, we would like you all to know
that our Women’s Auxiliary have been doing this for sometime,
giving $5000 towards the purchase of B-Paks (cost $600) which
supply wounded soldiers with everyday needs at the request of our
National President and also knitting scarves and beanies. These are
two of the letters we received. Our list of events is included in the
calendar.
Tuesday April 12th Lorraine Lea Linen & Manchester, light lunch $5
Thursday April 14th Bay Cruise and morning tea $24
We would love new members to join us and anyone may join us to
help with the knitting.
For more information see reception or call Celia Fleming; 5952 1901
Celia Fleming
Secretary and Delegate
Recently you sent our 26yr old daughter, Captain Sandy Warboys , beanies in Afghanistan.
Our family is very grateful for the gift BUT what means more it that there are people back in Australia that
appreciate and care for our members in uniform for their time and sacrifice whether they think Australia
should be involved our not.
Our Daughter and the other members of the Mentoring Task Force 2 are there doing their best for Australia
under tough conditions for about 8 months at a time. No flushing toilets, only squat holes and initially heat
and dust and now coming into cold and snow. The worst is the lack of freedom to just take a walk and the
constant worry about IED’s (improvised explosive device’s) and snipers.
Most 26yr old females are shopping in malls and having coffee with their friends but Sandy chose a different
path and we are very proud of her. Most of the MTF2 are in their 20’s and Australia should be very proud and
grateful for them giving up their time and sometimes their lives.
We are in the fortunate position to provide our daughter with anything she needs comfort wise but there are
a number of troops who don't have the support back home so what your group is doing is fantastic and our
family thanks you very much.
The gifts are great but the appreciation and care behind the gifts means everything.
Thank you so much and please pass our thanks onto all your lovely ladies.
Captain Sandy Warboys Family.
Thankyou very much for the support package we have received, it will prove very useful during the upcoming
winter months.
Our team is fortunate enough to have the constant positive interaction with the local Afghans. The children
are inquisitive like anywhere in the world, they don't ask for much and enjoy the gifts we give them such as
pencils, toys and just to see their photo. As much as we would like to openly support and interact with
Afghan women, cultural boundaries make this incredibly difficult in our area. The circumstances differ in
various parts of the country which are proving to be quite progressive. The children will definitely benefit
from your beanies in this harsh climate.
Our team can thank you enough for the support and generosity that your centre is showing, we eagerly await
mail from home and your package is much appreciated . Our combat team is just starting the tour, we’re
finding the mission of mentoring and assisting Afghan security forces very rewarding, we’re looking forward
to the next eight months and a safe return with Australia’s continued support.
My Forgetter & My Remembereer
My forgetter's getting better,
But my rememberer is broke
To you that may seem funny
But, to me, that is no joke
For when I'm 'here' I'm wondering
If I really should be 'there'
And, when I try to think it through,
I haven't got a prayer!
Oft times I walk into a room,
Say 'what am I here for?'
I wrack my brain, but all in vain!
A zero, is my score.
At times I put something away
Where it is safe, but, Gee!
The person it is safest from
Is, generally, me!
When shopping I may see someone,
Say 'Hi' and have a chat,
Then, when the person walks away
I ask myself, 'who the hell was that?'
Yes, my forgetter's getting better
While my rememberer is broke,
And it's driving me plumb crazy
And that isn't any joke.
