Distributed to ORAFs and Friends  It has come to our attention that other publications/newsletters are using some of the articles from this site for their own use. We dont have a problem with this but would like an acknowledgement of where the article was sourced. Thank You To Whom It May Concern I have read some literature on your site that mentions Eddie Savage, and some names of others he was with.

We are calling for suggestions and ideas on the nature of dress, equipment and posture of the soldier. We invite ideas so that our members can participate in the project and develop a feeling of ownership around it. We will discuss ways of providing an incentive to those with the most well thought out inputs, including the adoption of a name for the figurine (RLI’s statuette, predictably is known as The Trooper or Troopie). I am hoping to invoke enthusiasm for the project. There are other statuettes of SAS soldiers that have been produced, mainly in Britain and these may be viewed on the internet in order to get perspective. We are planning to develop the project in conjunction with an organization that has experience in these matters, including the marketing (we will not advertise who as this stage, as many loose ends have to be tied up we have just received the sad news that Peggy Stockton has passed away after a long battle with cancer.
