Part of my role here at 7 Inf Bde is to act as the Secretary for the Desert Rats Association. Part of the role involves organising a Memorial Day in June and a Remembrance Parade in November. The Association is small but growing. Were you a Desert Rat and interested in joining the Association, if so, please visit the website - http://www.desertrats.org.uk/assoc/
