. 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.

In 1973 he was awarded the Military Cross whilst serving in Northern Ireland. He commanded 1st Battalion The Green Howards in 1989-91 and thereafter went on to a succession of important command appointments: 4th Armoured Brigade, 1994-96 including deployment in Bosnia; 3rd Mechanised Division and command of British forces in Kosovo, 1999-2000; Allied Rapid Reaction Corps, 2003-05; Commander-in-Chief, UK Land Forces, 2005-06; culminating in his appointment as Chief of the General Staff (CGS) between 2006 and 2008.
He served as Assistant Chief of the Defence Staff, 2001-02. In 2002 he gained his Army Flying “Wings” as a pilot, before becoming Colonel, Commandant of the Army Air Corps. In 2003-05 he was closely involved with planning for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. After his retirement as CGS, he served as Constable of H. M. Tower of London between 2009 and 2016. In 2010 he was ennobled and sits as a Crossbench member in the House of Lords. He is a frequent commentator on radio and television on current affairs.
