A LITTLE something to remind you of home...
Local lads and lasses serving with A Battery Royal Horse Artillery, The Chestnut Troop, who will soon be serving in Afghanistan, are being sent a taste of Sheffield – thanks to the people at Henderson's Relish.

The Chestnuts are being deployed in Afghanistan for the next six months.

Henderson's Relish owner Dr Kenneth Freeman decided to send a few giant-sized bottles to ensure the troops will have plenty of the black stuff to splash about.

- If you would like to send good luck messages or parcels to members of the Chestnuts, please write to WO2 BSM Chris Williams, The Chestnut Troop, 1st RHA, OMLY, BG&CS, Camp Shorabak, BFPO 792.

A good idea provided nobody tries to reverse the idea and send loads of goodies to the ever growing army of afghans now in sheffield well away from the fighting which is being dealt with in the lives of british troops.

Hendersons for heroin,
Oil for food.

Free trade could stop this war,
Hendo's could improve the mood.

I see that my earlier contribution - comment - 11 16 52 was reported unsuitable. So it is all right for our young men to be out in Afghanistan being slaughtered, and alright for their young healthy men to be flooding into this country and reeping benefits to which they have no entitlement, but it is wrong to say anything about it, is it >??????????
