Hi Paddy,

Glad to hear that the lads at Selly Oak are doing ok. You mention in your thread that there are 5 in patients however, the start of this thread names 6

I only live approx 3 miles from the hospital and a few years ago (Op Telic) etc, on behalf of the forum, regularly visited the wards until such time as Regular Designated Visiting Military Officers were introduced and visits by non NOK or relative were restricted.

Up until Nov last year, I paid regular visits to the Hospital Canteen, along with an ex squaddie chum of mine, recently deceased, and enjoyed a cup of tea with some of the lads who were mobile enough to visit the canteen - until this thread, I was unaware that there were any Royal Welsh in-patients.

I'm more than happy to continue my visits to the canteen, share a cup of tea and a chat, should you so wish.

Indeed, I'm in the Selly Oak area on Wed 24th and can pop in about 1300hrs.

In the meantime Paddy, you and the lads get well soon and take comfort that there is an abundance of support for our forces, as you will see from this forum, and the sacrifices made are more than appreciated.

Hi Nasher,

Wards S3/S4/S5 are the trauma wards where our lads are accommodated.

However, you wouldn't be allowed to visit ad-hoc as a result of security.

We now have a contact, Paddy, perhaps you might be able to arrange something with him.

As I have previously stated, I only live about 3 miles from the hospital. If you want to arrange something, maybe a sandwich at my place, please don't hesitate to get in touch.



Just a thought.

nice 1 paddy, u need some guinness sneaking in lad,

Hi Gerry
Well done on your visits in the past to Selly Oak
One of our Branch Members Mr Fred Marks doesn't live that far away from the Hospital and he has been to visit some of the lads in the past too.

You are quite right in what you said, a visit has to be arranged before hand, security reasons, Fred has been in touch with the hospital over the weekend and all are doing fine, their families are visiting quite regular so he has been told.

wish them all a speedy recovery

Best regards
BennytheBall
