SINCE reading your letter, headed “Some are under real fire” (HAS, Dec 4), from Tom Benson, an ex-Staff Sergeant, Royal Signals, I have been trying to make contact with him. As honorary secretary of the Darlington branch of the Royal Signals Association, I wondered if he had considered joining us. Should he wish to do so, he can contact me on (01325) 284662.

Any other ex-Royal Signals members (either Regular or TA) are also eligible to join the association. We meet on the third Thursday of every month at 7.30pm, in the TA Centre, Neasham Road, Darlington, and they would be made very welcome.

Ray Jeffery, Honorary Secretary, Darlington Branch, Royal Signals Association.
