Nelly's Headlines

Dear All,

Firstly, I should introduce myself.  I am Gordon Leslie, and am an ex-member of 10 (Assaye) Battery, Royal Artillery.  I served with the Battery in the 80's and 90's, both in Hohne with 45 Regiment and then 40 Regiment, and with 47 Regiment on Thorney Island.  I completed my 22 year service on 03 December 2002 and now work for the Royal Artillery Centre of Personal Development (RA CPD) delivering Personal Development (PD) opportunities to the "Wider Defence Community" .

As you may, or may not, be aware, there was, an unofficial 10 Battery website, which was run by Dave (Rubber) Rutledge on behalf of the Battery.  Unfortunately, it had to be taken off the Internet due to a new Army Directive that governs the way Army websites have to be set out. 

This website has been developed so that Ex 10 (Assaye) Battery members may stay in touch, share old photos and reminisce about the good old days though a discussion forum.

The Battery history link has been removed from the website.  I initially thought that the Battery would want to support the website and contribute by providing updates.  However, this has not happened in the past and it is very unlikely they will in the future due to new Army policies with regards to websites. If you wish to view the contents of the Battery history page you can do so by following this link: Battery History

A large selection of photographs have been added to the website.

I have received a couple of emails asking what the difference is between a Guestbook and a Forum.

1.  A Guestbook is simply somewhere for people to "sign" as a one-off to say they have visited the website.  Contact details may also be left, and any comments about the website.

2.  A Forum is a chat facility that can be used continually.  People can have on-line conversations, create a new topic (thread) which other people can then reply too, and can reply to topics (threads) started by someone else.

Both Nelly's Guestbook and Nelly's Discussion Forum are free website utilities.  You will notice that there is some advertising attached to both.  The only way I would be able to remove these adverts would be to pay a monthly fee, but unfortunately my funds do not stretch that far (short arms, long pockets) therefore the advertising will remain.  There is no need to pay any attention to the advertising, just ignore it and scroll down.

08/01/06
I have added a Guestbook to the website.  This will enable all visitors to this site to display their details and an initial message for everyone to see.  Until now individuals have been adding a message to the on-line details form which will not be seen by all.

07/01/06

The website went live on 04 Dec 05.  Some tweaking will be required over the next couple of months, so please be patient.
