A taste of the front line


The Telegraph have a couple of pieces here about the Royal Anglian Regiment on operations. They are both well written and I commend you to read them.
Our forgotten war, follows a company from the regiment and a piece that tells the story of L/Cpl 'Teddy' Ruecker who risked his own life to save a colleague. I have to confess that reading the comments on the Teddy Ruecker story brought a tear to my eye.

The Royal Anglians are acquitting themselves superbly in very difficult circumstances.

The start of Tuesday's full council meeting in Wellingborough was preceeded by a tribute to Cpl. Darren Bonner who had died in a roadside bombing in Afghanistan.

The men of the regiment deserve their status as Honourary Freemen of the Borough of Wellingborough.
