Living memorial for L/Cpl Scott Hardy - fallen Viking [02/09/10]

Lance Corporal Scott Hardy, from 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment, was killed in action in Afghanistan on 16th March this year.

On Saturday last his family and friends dedicated a hornbeam tree to his memory in the cathedral grounds in Chelmsford, his home town.

The plaque at the foot of the tree, which reads "In memory of our hero, Lance Corporal Scott Hardy 06/06/83 - 16/03/2010", will serve as a reminder to all those who pass by of the sacrifice made by Lance Corporal Hardy for his country.

Private Neil Thomas: Simply The Best! [25/08/10]

Private Neil Thomas from 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment won the Best Recruit award after successfully completing the 26 week Combat Infantryman's Course at Catterick.

Pte Thomas's platoon commander Colour Sergeant Michael Butcher said: "Private Thomas simply excelled on the course. He has been an enthusiastic trainee who is also very mature and this is shown when he helps others along or gets a grip of them. This is a really well-deserved award for someone who already has shown the basics of leadership."

Well done, Neil!

Paras' 10 - Roger Micklethwaite takes up the challenge [23/08/10]

The annual PARA'S 10 event will be taking place this year on Sunday 12th September at Catterick.

Resurrected in 2008 after a 15 year hibernation, this 'ultimate endurance race' will once again be hosted by Pegasus Company, The Parachute Regiment's training and selection wing, and is open to anyone who's up for it and can cough up the £25 entrance fee (there is £250 for the fastest entrant).

Not only is the event a chance for those outside the Regiment to prove how fit they are and to find out what the Paras keep harping on about, it is also an ideal fundraising opportunity.

Last year 2,500 runners took part raising over £100,000 for service charities.

This year Roger Micklethwaite and associates will be taking up the challenge and raising money for The Royal Anglian Regiment Benevolent Charity Fund. The Fund helps serving and former members of the Regiment and their families who find themselves in need, hardship or distress.

If you would like to support Roger & Co. and help them raise some money for the Royal Anglians, visit his webpage at

Good luck, Roger (you'll need it)!

In Memoriam: Aaron McClure, Robert Foster & John Thrumble [23/08/10]

Private Aaron McClure, Private Robert Foster and Private John Thrumble all from 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment, were killed while on a fighting patrol near Kajaki, Afghanistan on Thursday 23rd August 2007.

Of Pte Aaron McClure his CO said: "At 19 years old, Private Aaron McClure was already a veteran of over forty engagements with the enemy. It is tragic that where the Taliban had failed, it was an accident that has taken him from us. Loyal, hard working and highly professional, he constantly surpassed the standards expected, and his loss is a bitter blow to the whole Battalion." His friend Pte Barker said: "McClure known to most of his mates as 'Troy' was a hard working and very determined member of 7 Platoon who would 'work his socks off' to achieve the best results he could. 'Troy' had a lot of ambition and would have gone far in the Army. He will be missed very much by all of us in 7 Platoon and the Company. Rest in peace mate and my thoughts are with your family."

Pte Robert Foster's CO said: "As a junior soldier, Private Robert Foster settled in remarkably quickly and was a highly respected Viking. Fiercely loyal to his friends, he had seemingly limitless reserves of courage and strength of character way beyond his years. He had a rare quality of always seeing the bright side of any situation and a mischievous sense of humour which made him hugely popular." His Section Commander said: "Fozzy as he was known by all will be remembered for never turning a dare down. He was up for anything and kept the comedy value of the section up when it was most needed. He was a model for the British Army. It was a privilege to serve with him and we will never forget him."

About Pte John Thrumble the Battalion Commander said: "Private John Thrumble was one of the mainstays and leading characters within the Battalion. An inspirational model to others and a caring and compassionate friend to many, he will be sorely missed. Proven in combat on countless occasions – his raw courage and ability to raise a smile were invaluable in these testing times. He joins the ranks of his fellow fallen Vikings but his reputation will live on and he will never be forgotten." And Private Barker said: "John was the joker of the platoon and even the Company, and always managed to make you laugh whatever the circumstances. Although he was hard as nails, he had a soft side to him which most people did not know. He had some ambition and wanted to stay in the Army and work his way up through the ranks."

"These people going out fighting giving their lives for us;
They do it selflessly and they never get thanked enough.
They give it all, put their heart and soul into what they do
To make this world a better, safer place for me and you.
"

Southend salutes the Vikings [17/06/10]

Thousands of people lined the High Street in Southend today and gave a tremendous welcome to the soldiers of 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment.

The Battalion was also granted the Freedom of the Borough and so, preceded by the Minden Band, the 180 soldiers marched with fixed bayonets and colours flying.

The Battalion has recently returned from a tough six-month tour of Afghanistan and their visit enabled the people of Southend to show their support for the guys and their appreciation for the work that they had done out there. During this latest deployment to Afghanistan, the Battalion sadly lost five soldiers killed fighting the Taliban: L/Cpl Scott Hardy, Pte James Grigg, Capt Martin Driver, Pte Robert Hayes and L/Cpl Adam Drane.

The parade through Southend was one of a series of similar events being held in towns across East Anglia to mark the return of the Battalion from the frontline in Afghanistan.

Well done, the Vikings!

Well done, Southend!

In Memoriam: Joseva Lewaicei and Adam Morris [13/05/10]

Private Joseva Lewaicei and Private Adam Morris, both of C Company The 2nd Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment, were killed in action on 13th May 2006 in Basra, Iraq.

The two soldiers were killed when they were hit by a roadside bomb while on patrol in Basra city.

 

In paying tribute to Private Lewaicei his CO said: "Private Lewaicei was a valued and well-regarded member of C Company and was known as a fun loving and exuberant character. He was a keen sportsman and had represented the Battalion in both Rugby and Boxing. He was an exceptional rugby full back regularly impressing those who saw him play, and was once offered a professional contract. Immensely strong, his colleagues will remember with some glee the day he was finally beaten in an arm wrestle by their platoon sergeant, although he always maintained he let him win."

And in his tribute to Private Morris, Lieutenant Colonel Des O’Driscoll said: "Adam joined the battalion in Northern Ireland and rapidly made his mark as an energetic and thoroughly professional young soldier. He undoubtedly had a bright future ahead of him. Although Private Morris had only been with 'The Poachers' for just under two years, he was one of our most promising young soldiers and had a fine career ahead of him. Always one of the keenest and most attentive soldiers in the Company he stood out from many of his peers. At times teased for his military knowledge, he had an inquiring mind and a desire to learn. He was well-liked and respected by all the company for his resolve. He had suffered a leg injury late in 2005 but fought his way back to fitness, determined that he must deploy on operations in Iraq alongside his many friends. Always 'Army barmy' he even found a camouflage cover for the cast on his leg. Adam’s loss has touched and saddened all of us who had the honour to know him."

Never forgotten.

2 Royal Anglians return home [23/03/10]

Lance Corporal Scott Hardy and Private James Grigg from 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment were killed by an IED in Helmand on March16th. Their bodies were brought home today.

Hundreds of people lined the high street of Wootton Bassett showing respect and grief as the flag-draped hearses carrying the two soldiers drove past.

Of L Cpl Hardy his CO said: "Always ready to see the bright side of life, always ready with banter when the situation allowed it. Mature and unflappable, he was one of those individuals who takes life in their stride He was earmarked to attend

the Section Commanders Battle Course later this year and we expected him to pass with flying colours. His performance leading men in the most demanding of circumstances in Afghanistan was notable - he was steadfast under fire and hugely brave. Blessed by a robust sense of humour, Scott was the first to laugh at life's challenges and keep soldiering on."

And of Pte Grigg, Lieutenant Colonel Woodham said: "He was passionate about soldiering too; he thought himself lucky to have found a job where he could combine the two things that he loved so much. In turn, we think ourselves lucky to have worked alongside him. Friendly, polite and endlessly helpful, he was a real team player that you would want to have on your team. He was reliable - a man you could trust."

Captain Martin Driver - Fallen Viking [17/03/10]

Captain Martin Driver of 1st Battalion the Royal Anglian Regiment died at Selly Oak Hospital from wounds received from an IED when leading his men against the Taliban.

Captain Driver was Second-in-Command of A (Norfolk) Company and was serving as Acting Company Commander when he was tragically killed.

From the accolades he has received on the MoD website it is clear that Captain Driver was an amazing soldier, a remarkable man.

"Martin served as a 'Viking' officer, died commanding 'Viking' soldiers, and will never be forgotten."

Viking Family Support Group [17/03/10]

It is a very difficult and worrying time for families and friends when their loved ones are away fighting on the frontline in Afghanistan. With the tragic news this week that three members of 1 R Anglian (the Vikings) have been killed, for the families of those Vikings serving out in Helmand the need for mutual support must be stronger than ever.

To help provide this help and support the Viking Family Support Group was set up two years ago by two Mums, Alison & Tracey, whose sons were serving with the Battalion.

The Group's website has a forum which is design to enable all Vikings and their family & friends to have an easy means of communication. The forum also serves to provide a reliable source of information relating to the current activities and deployments of the Vikings, up coming social events and a reliable method of support.

An example of the support the forum has been giving appeared in yesterday's Southend Standard newspaper. Mrs Hughes, whose son Mark is on his first tour with the Vikings’ D Company, explained how much she has been helped by her contacts on the Forum: “We have talked about whether it’s better not knowing about what’s going on, but at least now, we can know and deal with what comes along. You are almost more prepared. Otherwise, I think your imagination would work overtime. When people lose a loved one, the group is very supportive. There is nothing we can really do, but knowing there is this close-knit group which cares, helps a bit.”

Reading the comments in the Standard's article clearly shows the invaluable service that VikingFSG provides.

Two Royal Anglians killed in Helmand [17/03/10]

The MoD today announced yet more sad news from the Royal Anglian Regiment. Two soldiers from the 1st Battalion were killed yesterday afternoon when they were caught in the blast from an IED which exploded near them.

At the time the soldiers were serving as part of the Household Cavalry Regiment Battle Group tasked with clearing the Taliban from the area around Musa Qal'ah.

Their deaths bring to five the number of Vikings killed since their current tour started last October. A Battle Group commander spoke of the courage these guys have when every day they go out on patrol knowing the dangers they face from IEDs.

These losses are particularly tragic as they come at a time when the Battalion has been so successful in their mission to bring improved security and stability to the local people.

"Their determined courage in the face of the danger from IEDs and the sacrifice they have made will not be forgotten."

Royal Anglian dies from wounds [16/03/10]

The MoD today announced the sad news that a soldier from 1 R Anglian died yesterday at Selly Oak Hospital from wounds received fighting the Taliban.

The soldier had been serving as part of the Household Cavalry Regiment Battle Group and had been seriously wounded in an explosion in the Musa Qal'ah district of Helmand province on 21st February 2010.

Lieutenant Colonel David Wakefield, spokesman for Task Force Helmand, said: " The blast happened while he was on a patrol to the north of Musa Qal'ah district centre, part of the ongoing successful operations in the Musa Qal'ah area to drive the insurgents away from the local people and away from the district centre."

"He was one of us, one of our own, who fell doing his duty. We will remember him."

He is the third Viking to have been killed during the Battalion's current deployment in Helmand.

Never forgotten.

Royal Anglian Regiment: Essex Boys dun good [10/03/10]

Lieutenant Colonel James Woodham MC, commanding officer of 1st Battalion, Royal Anglian Regiment, has been paying tribute to the men under his command currently serving on the frontline in Afghanistan.

Lt Col Woodham explained how the Battalion has been playing a key role in turning the tide "very fast" against the Taliban in all four of the districts of Helmand - Lashkar Gah, Gereshk, Musa Qaleh and Nad Ali - in which the guys have been stationed.

He singled out C (Essex) Company (NB this story has been taken from an Essex newspaper) for their success in winning hearts and minds in Nad Ali district. Engaging with the local people, providing sustained security and working together with them to rebuild their communities is what Operation Moshtarak has been all about and 1 R Anglian has been making a big difference in this regard - or as Lt Col Woodham puts it: “It is changing the local dynamic, bringing an ungoverned area back in to government hands”.

Lt Col Woodham, however, also pointed out that all this success has come at a high cost: two soldiers from C Company, L Cpl Adam Drane and Pte Robert Hayes, were killed fighting the Taliban in Nad Ali earlier in the year.

In praising his men, their CO said: “It’s quite humbling to see the guys suffer the most exacting loss, get on and go back in to the same area to face the same threat. These young men are the heart of the British Army and the nation. At times, we are quick to have a go at the youth of today, but it is my experience that with a decent environment and training, they can do the most extraordinary things.”

Lt Col Woodham went on to say: “We want to say a really big thank-you to everyone back in Essex. You will see us marching through the county’s streets this summer to show our appreciation.”

And, James, the people of Essex will be turning out to show their appreciation and respect for the guys as well! [Parades are scheduled for June 15th in Barking & Dagenham and June17th in Southend.]

L/Cpl Andrew Ferguson: the 'miracle of Helmand' [03/03/10]


A Taliban bullet passing through his neck a mere 3mm from his spine isn't going to stop Lance Corporal Andrew Ferguson from rejoining his mates in the thick of it in Afghanistan.

L/Cpl Ferguson, serving with 1 R Anglian out in Helmand, was on patrol and clearing a compound of insurgents when he was hit by a sniper's bullet. Despite the near fatal injury and also under heavy fire, he carried on giving directions to his men until he was medivac'd by US helicopter to the field hospital at Camp Bastion. After emergency treatment there he was flown to Selly Oak for surgery.

That was back in December. Now, instead of being so nearly paralysed, Andrew is well on the way to making a full recovery. Already on light duties back at his base in Pirbright, he says he is looking forward to returning to the frontline.

He's now known as 'the miracle of Helmand'; his mates tell him he should have kept his head down!

Good news, Andrew!

Wolf beer - a beer fit for heroes [21/02/10]

A Norfolk brewery has brought out a new beer to raise cash for the Royal Anglian Benevolent Fund.

The new beer, called appropriately "Hero", is being produced by the Wolf Brewery of Besthorpe, Norfolk and for every cask sold £7 will go to the Benevolent Fund.

The Wolf Brewery has 200 pubs on its books and from next month a bottled version of Hero will also be sold in local off-licences and Tesco branches with 10p-a-pint going towards the well-being of local troops and their families.

It was local pub licensee Dougie Clarke who persuaded the brewery to launch the beer after he was inspired by reading a book about his own grandfather, Sgt Frank Clarke, who fought with the 1st Battalion, Norfolk Regiment at the Battle of Mons in 1914.

The Norfolk Regiment was created in July 1881 as the county regiment for Norfolk. It became the Royal Norfolk Regiment in 1935 and was amalgamated with the Suffolk Regiment in 1959 to form 1st Battalion, the East Anglian Regiment. This in turn was further amalgamated in 1964 into the Royal Anglian Regiment. 'A' Company, 1st Battalion, R Anglian retains the name "Royal Norfolk" in honour of this proud regimental history.

Mr Clarke said: “The Norfolk Company of the Regiment returns from a tour of duty in Helmand Province in April and we'll be throwing a party for the boys at [his pub] the Duke of Wellington in early May to celebrate the launch of the beer and their return from the war zone.”

John Edwards, owner of Wolf Brewery, said: “We hope the beer will play its part in demonstrating to our soldiers that we are behind them in the difficult challenge they face in a very dangerous part of the world.”

Sounds like a good excuse for a pint - think I'll just nip round to the pub.

Nice one, Jedward!

Royal Anglian Catterick Six - Soldiers walk for Veterans Aid[19/02/10]

Six soldiers from the Royal Anglian Regiment are going to walk the 230 miles from their base in Catterick, N Yorkshire to the Barnet TA Centre in London ...... in 12 days. And they're doing it all to raise funds for Veterans Aid.

The man behind the fundraiser is WOII Danny Morgan and the other five in the team are Cpl Lee Davison, Cpl Gav Watts, Cpl Michael Foster, L/Cpl Dave Murray and Sgt Michael Butcher.

Not content with simply walking the 230 miles, the guys are planning to give it an extra twist by overlaying it with the rigours of a Tactical Advance to Battle (TAB) - i.e. adding in weighted patrol packs and moving at a rapid pace.

They leave the Infantry Training Centre at Catterick on Monday 22nd February and will arrive at Barnet on Friday 5th March. 20 miles a day carrying 45lbs: piece of cake!

At the end of the day these men and women, who we and Veterans Aid are trying to help, have given the best years of their lives ensuring that the country in which we live stays safe and free from enemies. And now they face the biggest fight of their lives. So I feel that it is only right to show that the bond and the brotherhood upon which the Forces thrives extends beyond the day on which you hand in your uniform.”

All the best, lads!

Man down – help now!

Royal Anglians kick out the Taliban [17/02/10]

Soldiers from C (Essex) Company 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment are in the forefront of the current offensive against the Taliban, Operation Moshtarak.

Attached to the Grenadier Guards Battlegroup, the men from C Company are currently involved in fierce fighting in and around Check Point Paraang in the Nad-e-Ali District of Helmand Province.

In fact, according to their CO, Lt Col James Woodham MC, the guys have been engaged in fierce fighting on an almost daily basis ever since the Battalion returned to Afghanistan last October. Since then, in spite of the heavy insurgent activity, the Vikings have brought such a significant improvement in security that the area is already seeing a steady return of local people to their villages where they can begin to rebuild their lives.

The Battalion's achievements in Operation Moshtarak will mean that they will be able to consolidate these security gains by extending their control over a larger area. However, sustained improvement in security will only be fully achieved when responsibility for it is taken on by local forces. To bring this about C Company will soon begin embedded partnering with the Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police. Just as the 2nd Battalion did so successfully in Iraq when they worked alongside Iraqi security forces in the Military Transition Teams, so too now will the 1st Battalion help local Afghan forces bring peace and stability to their country.

It should not be forgotten that all this success has sadly come at a high cost: the loss of Pte Robert Hayes and L/Cpl Adam Drane, killed fighting the Taliban in December and January. R.i.P.
