            UMM QASR CHILDREN.Although the festivities normally associated with this time of year are nao celebrated in Iraq, living in the Southern Iraqi village of Umm Qasr, Soldiers from 100 Pioneer Squadron normally based at Cramlington near Newcastle and 45 Signal squadron "Tiger Team" from Worcester, visited three local schools bearing gifts donated from schools back home in England. Local teachers and community leaders turned out to welcome the soldiers and also help to keep order and discipline amongst the excited children. Faces lit up as boxes were handed out and eagerly opened. Shoe boxes containing small cuderly toys and a variety of other little gifts were donated by Manor Park School, Worcester. A selection of footwear ranging from flip flops to trainers was collected by St Bedes Roman Catholic School, Bedlington near Newcastle. Local community leader Sheikh Majd Altaee asked Captain Andy Sturt, Officer Commanding Tiger Team, to pass on his thanks to everyone back in Britain who have helped to make the children of Umm Qasr very happy indeed....Pictured- Corporal Gaynor Woods hands over a pair of shoes to an Iraqi child. The joy on both there faces makes it all worth while for the Army and the children..         Image by Paul A'Barrow (Royal Navy)
