. CHARITABLE ADVERTISING on Web Site
There are many worthwhile charitable causes in existence, but we can only accept sponsorship or fundraising efforts on Fusilier Association websites, that specifically support approved Fusilier charities.
This essentially means that it is acceptable to use these pages to seek sponsorship for The Fusiliers Aid Society (which includes Fallen Fusiliers), and The Fusilier Memorial fund only.
We now have our own dedicated justgiving site (http://www.justgiving.com/fusiliersaidsociety), which you can use to help raise money for your cause. If you let RHQ (Asst Regt Sec) know the specific cause you are raising money for, it will be directed to the correct fund.
Messages soliciting sponsorship for causes or charities other than the Fusilier ones mentioned above should not be placed on the message board and may be removed by the Webmaster.
Messages posted in the last 24 hrs. are in White.
the 30th August, marks the official date of the removal of The Second Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers from The Army Order of Battle. Their contribution to every major UK operation, as well as a notable input to UK Special Forces, is one of which all Fusiliers can be immensely proud. The thousands of veteran members of 2RRF, throughout the UK, will always uphold the memory and dedication of their fallen comrades. They will indeed be remembered.
The circumstances of this decision remain obscured, with many questions still unanswered. Without any real explanation as to why 2RRF were substituted onto the list for disbandment, the British Army values of integrity, loyalty and respect for others are fundamentally breached by those entrusted to uphold them. There is a dark shadow cast over the fundamentals of the military covenant with this government.
We must not compromise The Fusiliers Association by using it to take political action. It is a body that supports serving and former members of The Fusiliers.
As individuals, however, we are all free to take action and I certainly intend to do so. I will keep the Association and the wider UK service veterans community informed.
