Sir,

I'm a 74-year-old ex-Serviceman compiling my fourth modest book publication 'Get Some In!'. Short, amusing experiences, funny stories, jokes, yarns, tales, anecdotes or precious moments of, or associated with, service life in all branches of HM Armed Forces.

May I please be permitted to make an appeal for written experiences from your readers? Articles published are credited with the person's name, rank, number, unit or abbreviated address. All proceeds will go to The Leicestershire 'Royal Tigers' Association and Royal British Legion County Pipe Band.
