The Legasee war veterans project is looking for volunteers who want to tell their stories and, as part of an exciting social history project, the film company Legasee is look for war veterans who would like to have their stories filmed for posterity.

The footage will be used to launch a unique online archive of interviews for use by schools, colleges and members of the public.

To kick-start the project, they are looking for war veterans of any age who wish to recall their experiences in front of the camera for the benefit of future generations. It doesn’t matter what campaign or country you served in, or what role you played The Legasee war veterans project is completely free of charge, with any travel expenses paid – all they need is your knowledge, enthusiasm and a small amount of your time to take part in the filming.

If any member is interested please advise them to email dave@legasee.org.uk giving their name, age, daytime telephone number and brief details of their wartime service. If you have no access to a computer and you wish to participate, please send you details to the Rifles Durham Office Elvet Waterside, Durham, DH1 3BW or telephone 0191 3865496.

102,10 BRANCH ELECTION RETURNS

The Branch Election form was not enclosed with the November Bulletin as suggested. This was because most of the Bulletins were transmitted electronically. They are now enclosed and branches should complete them after their AGMs have taken place and forward them to The Rifles Durham Office by the date stated on the form. Branches who do not hold their AGM until later in the year should still return the form by the due date advising us of the date of their AGM.

103/10 SEASONS GREETINGS

The staff at the Rifles Durham Office send their best wishes to all members and their families and wish to thank everyone involved for their unstinting support during 2010.

It has been a busy year and a number of demands have been made on your time and finances both of which you have given of generously. Well done and thank you.
