Families

FAMILIES of Territorial Army soldiers serving in Afghanistan tried to put their worries aside and enjoy a day out together.
Mums, partners, siblings and children of Redbridge and Barking and Dagenham soldiers serving a six month tour in the war-torn country spent a day enjoying themselves at Windsor Castle.
They were joined by family members of other Seven Rifles’ soldiers from the Home Counties who make up Salonika Company.
Caryn Davies, fiancée of Woodford Rifleman, David Warren said: “It's been a great day with great weather and a real treat.”
After watching the Windsor Castle guard form up, the families were given their tour of the castle free courtesy of the Windsor Blue Badge Guides who talked them through the history.
A buffet lunch was laid on for the group at Victoria Barracks after their tour.
Salonika Company is due back from Afghanistan in April.
There will be a medal parade at Brock Barracks in Reading welcoming them home on April 2.
