[John Feltham]

As part of the redevelopment plans for St Omer Barracks, the ACC War  
Memorial Hall has been earmarked for reassignment as a Gurkha Temple  
and Families Centre to accommodate the needs of the Queens Own Gurkha  
Logistic Regiment when it moves from its present barracks in North  
Camp, in 2011. Please see link for full story from ACC Association

As much as I love the Gurkha's this project is ill-conceived and an  
insult to our Corps fallen

This news is not acceptable!

When will faceless MOD civil servant planners realise that this is not  
just a plot of land or any old building to the ACC, but a place of  
quiet reflection on our past and the ultimate sacrifice that some of  
our friends and comrades have paid for the continued price of  
democracy and freedom in the World?

This is our War Memorial! Since when has it been UK policy to  
indiscriminately decide we cannot have it any longer?

Perhaps they should be asked to address the Association members at the  
next Warner's All Ranks Reunion weekend in May to get a depth of the  
feeling out there?

Perhaps it's also time for some direct action to No.10 Downing Street,  
after all we all read the spin that this Government is putting out  
about how well they look after us ex-servicemen and those still serving!

If you agree please support the Association by signing this petition at

Can I plead with you to pass on the link above to everyone in your  
addressbook, The ACC is a very small part of the Armed forces and our  
numbers are few.

We need your help to try and stop this from happening.

If you don't hear the knock of opportunity - build a door.
