This Calendar, so beautifully produced, is a wonderful way for us to show our gratitude to all soldiers in Afghanistan and many other places. They deserve our support and the The Soldiers' Charity does just that when they or their loved ones fall on hard times. Thank you to everyone that buys a copy of the calendar, your donation will make a real difference to a soldier or his ‘sweetheart’.


MAJOR GENERAL SIR EVELYN WEBB-CARTER, CONTROLLER, ARMY BENEVOLENT FUND


Having been responsible for sending so many journalists to Iraq and Afghanistan for GQ, I have become accustomed to reading their harrowing tales, their descriptions of the bravery of the allied forces and the horrendous things they have been forced to witness. Hopefully this new army of forces sweethearts will be a temporary antidote.

DYLAN JONES, EDITOR OF GQ MAGAZINE




With so many troubles throughout the world, it is these servicemen and women that provide the freedoms and safety that are so often taken for granted back at home. As such, we owe them our support and I'm honoured to give mine. In buying this calendar, you are giving yours too.

WE DID IT!!

We have reached the end of the creative process and took delivery of the calendars earlier this week. They look incredible, the hard work has definitely paid off!! The calendar is ready to buy and you can get your copy from the shop section at http://www.armybenfund.org/
Chrissie launched the initial sales at the Army Benevolent Fund Annual Dinner at Chatsworth House last week and sold one to the Duke of Devonshire himself! The calendar was well received and looks set to be very popular. We want to thank everyone who has been involved in any way, from sponsoring it to providing props and costumes, to giving it coverage in magazines and newspapers - it has all enabled us to make this project a success. If your shop or business is interested in stocking these calendars for us, please contact Chrissie on 07804 942 578. Please watch this space for news and photographs, details of other stockists and details of press coverage.
