EDITORS COMMENTS
Members of the TA from Coulby Newham are gearing up for an incredible challenge in support of two worthy causes. In this photo print, taken on 1st March 1986, we witness their rigorous training at Thornaby baths as they prepare to conquer a grueling marathon sponsored canoe race. Platoon commander Second Lieut. Brian Meeres, alongside Second Lieut. John Freer and dedicated privates Mark Charlton and John Willis, demonstrate their unwavering determination. With the goal of raising £2000 for the Samaritans and Cystic Fibrosis, these brave individuals are appealing to Teesside businessmen to rally behind them in this monumental endeavor. Already securing £250 in pledges from local companies, their commitment to making a difference is truly inspiring. The image captures not only the physical strength required for such a feat but also showcases the camaraderie within the territorial army unit. Clad in their distinctive uniforms, these members exemplify teamwork and resilience as they navigate through challenging waters. This snapshot from the 1980s serves as a powerful reminder of selflessness and dedication displayed by armed forces personnel beyond their call of duty. Let us honor these remarkable individuals who push themselves beyond limits for charitable causes close to their hearts.
