Cheshire: Iraq veteran among those sharing touching wartime letters | Chester and District Standard

IRAQ veterans, including one from Cheshire, have shared touching letters they sent to their families during the war to mark 10 years since Britain withdrew. Ahead of the anniversary today (Saturday, May 22), former troops who suffered life-changing injuries have revealed how handwritten notes from their wives, children and other soldiers kept them going through the war and the decade since. The military airmail were known as blueys because they were sent between UK families and Iraq soldiers in blue envelopes. Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers Corporal Simon Brown, who had been leading a successful mission to recover six stranded colleagues in 2006 when he suffered a near-fatal shooting to his face, has shared a bluey he sent to the comrade who rescued him.
