Dear Desertnauts, @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke - Major Vladimir 'Popski' Peniakoff - Demolition Team, @Faraz94 - Captain Michael Crichton-Stuart, Combat Unit G, @Ben Lee - Captain Edward 'Teddy' Cecil Mitford, Combat Unit W, @Ahmed Wagdy - Captain P.

McCraith, Combat Unit Y, @Richard Franks - Captain Patrick Clayton, Combat Unit T, @Bjoern - Captain Donald Gavin Steele, Support Unit R, @Alphin Aloor - Captain Travers John Durrant Birdwood, Combat Unit P:

In welcoming our new LRDG member, @Johannes Roux - Major Kenneth Henry Lazarus of the Rhodesian Squad, I would like to ask all of you to go along this cosplay idea and come to the drive wearing whatever military clothing you may have in your wardrobe. The idea is to take a nice group photo at the end of the drive, like this...
