. 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.
Please see a message received from Loughton Council
Loughton Council are holding a dedication ceremony on Tuesday 24 November at 11am on Kings Green, Loughton, to mark the unveiling of a new bronze plaque with the names of four local servicemen who lost their lives during WWII. For reasons lost in the mists of time their names were not included in the original plaques.
Their names are as follows:
H J Bassingthwaighte: Warrant Officer Class II, Royal Fusiliers (London Regiment), 30/04/1916 – 14/07/1945, aged 29 Years
G F R Cooke: Pilot Officer, Squadron 156 Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, 01/03/22 – 28/07/1942, aged 20 years
C G Howe: Able Seaman, Royal Navy S.S. Peleus, 1909 – 13/04/1944, aged 35 Years
H J Martin: Second Lieutenant, Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry, seconded to the Reconnaissance, 1919 – 09/06/1942, aged 22 Years
As this list includes a member of the Royal Fusiliers we would be delighted if you were able to send representatives and/or standard bearers.
The Area Secretary will attend. A bugler has been requested. It would be appreciated if other local Fusiliers could attend.
