Instructions for Soldiers Surprise Supplies

Please send items that do not melt -- it is very hot

For example:

non-chocolate biscuits
gingerbread or malt loaf
flapjacks
anything in a tube, vacuum packed or tinned (toffee sauce, condensed milk, salsa dips)
cheese straws
cream cheese
fish paste
chutneys
chorizo sausages or dried meat
dried fruit and nuts
mint imperials
chewing gum
Haribo, Jelly Babies, etc.
Soduko books
Nuts, Zoo and FHM magazines
They have to drink vast quantities of water -- so any powder flavourings in a package like Berocca, Vitamin C sachets etc
pick ‘n mix sweets

I am sure there is much more – so just use your imagination!

ALCOHOL AND PORN IS NOT PERMITTED!!!

Please do write an encouraging message on a card, but please sign your card by First Name only and do not give your address as we do not want any obligation regarding thank-you letters.

The easiest method of sending these parcels is to use a large padded envelope but any form of parcel is fine, as long as it does not exceed 2 kilos. They are very strict on this! Tape it up firmly and write one of the following addresses clearly on a label :

A British Soldier
c/o Sqn Ldr B Carten
SO2 J1
HQ MND (SE)
Op TELIC
BFPO 641

OR

A British Soldier
c/o Capt S Beattie MBE SO3 J I
HQ Task Force Helmand
Lashkar Gar
BFPO 715

Take the parcel to a post office. Parcels generally take about 5 days. THANK YOU!!!
