Below
are pictures sent to the Shankill Mirror by
local Servicemen and Servicewomen while on
deployment to Afghanistan.
From
our ‘roving’ reporter
– Remember the Aussie soldier Martin in the
March issue of the Shankill Mirror. Yeah, that was
him with the funny PJ’s. Well the news is
Martin made it back safe and sound from Afghanistan,
as you can see he left the PJ’s
behind!! While enjoying his R&R in Las Vegas
he still had time to keep up to date with the local
news from God’s wee country, especially the
Shankill. Note from the Ed. – Glad to see
you home safe and sound Martin and to all you doubting
Thomas’s out there, didn’t we tell you
that the Shankill Mirror is a must international
read!!
We always deliver!! The best of it is the guy in the photograph, Martin, is an Aussie soldier having a well deserved break from his duties in Afghanistan and as you can see he is catching up with all our local news which puts a smile on his face and no that is his uniform not his PJ’s!
‘Just
another short note from the front. I thought you
might like to see a few snaps. We had a few surprise
visitors, Ross Kemp and Ant + Dec. This cheered
up the girls no end, but I am not so sure about
the lads around camp!!’
'Just
thought you might like a photo from a female who
is serving in Afghanistan at the moment. I've
read the last few issues and haven't seen any
girlie photos. I'm at Camp Bastion working in
the hospital and here is a photo of me reading
The Shankill Mirror.'
