The story behind the Diaries The diaries were handed to me by ex-Green Howard Kev Hudson. He bought them as plain pocket diaries and with apparatus; handed down to him from his Dad; he was able to emboss them with the Green Howards badge. Kev turned up; quite unexpectedly, at the Barnsley & Districts GHA Branch meeting on Wednesday 10th February and handed me twenty-nine diaries. He asked me to try to sell them and donate the total proceeds to the 2Yorks (Green Howards) serving soldiers welfare and comfort fund. Kev did not want a penny for himself!; which in my eyes makes him a very generous person and a true Green Howard. Thank you Kev. Kev's Dad, Ken Hudson, was also a Green Howard and served in Malaya in the '50's. So far I have sold twenty-one of the diaries at £2.50p each; which leaves me with eight diaries left for sale. These will be sold on a first come first served basis. If you would like to be a owner of one, or more, of these remaining diaries, please email me with your order and your home address. I will send you your diary along with my home address, so that you can send me your cheque. Don't worry about the postage, that'll be my contribution to our Brave Lads an' Lasses. Ray xixray@ex-grenhowards.com or The whole £2.50 (or more if you'd like to donate more) goes to our serving Green Howards!
