As the season of goodwill is upon us, make I take this opportunity to wish all Royal Marines ( past, present and future) and their families all the very best for Christmas and 2004!

My thoughts are especially with those families that will have an empty place at the table on Christmas day.

This year has been good for Royal in many ways but we must remember those that paid the ultimate price in a distant land, not so far from the birth of christianity.

May I wish you the compliments of the season, regardless of your religion or creed. My very sincere best wishes to you all.

H A P P Y C H R I S T M A S !



PS please spare a thought for all those on active service or duty, whatever their occupation!

Amen to that thought Neil.

Keep up the bad work in Cornwall and tell the Prez we all still hate him! (Not!)

Excellent post Harry, and a Happy Christmas.

However, (there is ALWAYS a however!) here in the Old Country we must be a year ahead of your lot, as we are about to enter the calendar year 2004!

Never mind, you were behind us in the rugby too!

I would like to echo Black Rat's sentiments and wish all members of the Corps, past and present, a very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful and Prosperous New Year.

None of that white stuff here in La La Land Alan. We are having our typical seasonal weather, pissing it down from the heavens. Thank goodness I am on the Pacific coast for Christmas, which is thousands of miles away from the Irish sea where Mad Mike will be floating around. I know that you will make up for it at New Year Mike.
