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.

In an email to Des(to do with the come on Everton) string
Des mentioned Irish soldiers at Rorke's Drift.
It brought to mind the soldiers sailors from all over the world
That fought and died in the service of Great Britain”
I read the book of Horatio Nelson's life many years ago
The part Des ,triggered in my memory was the amount of,
Peoples from foreign lands fight for UK in Nelson's fleet
And ,they were all listed,well done to them for that
There ,well more like a league of nations of sailors
The Book was by David Howarth.,
Nelson came up with a different plan to fight the battle of Trafalgar
The usual way large Naval battles were fought was the fleets lined up and sailed past each other blasting as they go
Nelson ,instructed his captain ,as the fleets were almost level with each other to turn into the French,thereby cutting their fleet into pieces
But as the fleets were sailing towards each other they would be receiving a lot of fire
Well it worked as they won the Battle ,taking lots of prizes(most of which was lost in a storm later)
And what was left was divided up among all those league of nation sailers
David Howarth listed where they came from not naming them
Vince
