ARMED FORCES DAY 2013 DONCASTER IN AID OF THE VICTORIA CROSS TRUST
£25.00 per person minimum sponsorship
THE GREATEST OVER NIGHT PAINTBALL & LASER COMBAT GAME YOU WILL EVER PLAY
A team of former SAS soldiers will be taking part as the opposition
Introduction
Over the last 100 years of modern warfare the British military have given to our nation and others their time and service and on many occasions their lives. We now wish to give some of our time for those that serve and those that have served, and we invite you to join us. Background
The one activity that has not changed for soldiers over the last 100 years is the usage of trenches and foxholes. Even today in Afghanistan, despite huge advances in technology, the foxhole is still used as a method of defence.
Aims
We are organising this event as a fundraiser for the Victoria Cross Trust to allow us to continue our work in restoring the graves and honouring the men awarded the Victoria Cross. We hope that those that choose to participate will have a great deal of fun taking part but will also use the time to reflect upon the great sacrifices of our servicemen and women. Servicemen have always had to spend a night outdoors and always will, please give just one night for all those they gave you.
