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.

a little more of this epic battle,When Joe was here he would often refer to an RNF soldier now resident in USA
I cant remember his name,he wrote a book "To the last Bullet" He was captured at Injim and helped carry ,the then LT.to the POW camp,Just googled the LT he became"Lieutenant General Sir Anthony Farrah-Hockley. He was a British Army officer who was captured during the Korean War at the Battle of Imjin River in 1951. After his release, he continued his military career, eventually becoming the head of the British Army as Commander-in-Chief of Allied Forces Northern Europe. He passed away in 2006
The RNF lad came over for a re-union,and on walking along the platform was spotted by Gen Farrah-Hockley.
He hailed him from accross platform loudly shout his name ,you little w#######! a great story of that re-union I read the book and passed it on
