    I've been given the details of a squaddie in Afganistan who gets no mail, not even from his family. I want to make him the most popular guy on the camp.

    Come on girls! Lets write some letters to cheer hime up. PM me and I'll send you the details.

    That's terrible (the family bit) - he's better off away from them with relations like that!

    Perhaps we could get a campaign going to get him collectively written to or supported by MSE - then he'd be the most famous bloke in the Army too!!

    To thank you to everyone who responded to my plea for letters to a squaddie in Afghanistan:

    His boss says "He thought it was a wind up when he finally got some mail. I really do thank you all for doing that".
    The lad himself writes, "It is morale boosting to get mail as you know, I have not had a lot since I've been out here. So that has placed a smile on my face."

    So lets keep writing!
    Thank you.

  • I would really like to send a letter too. Do I need to register to e-bluey? Or can I just send a letter?
