CO Welcome

I am delighted to welcome you to the Timor Leste Battle Group internet site.

The main aim of this website is to allow the members of our Battle Group family at home to stay in closer touch with their loved ones deployed on operations in Timor Leste.

I hope that you enjoy visiting this website and that it provides you with the kind of information about your loved ones that you want. I welcome any suggestions that you might want to make as to how we can improve the site to make it an even better means of staying in contact.

Best wishes,

Dave Smith
Lieutenant Colonel
Commanding Officer

To my Family

I am writing to let you know of my time in Timor and how I have settled in over the past couple of weeks. It is a lot hotter over here then it is back home and the people and culture are a fair bit different. All the locals are friendly towards me and the other blokes in my Platoon, I hope to see you soon over my leave period.

PTE M.G Ford.

To all the families of soldiers overseas in Charlie Company
Just writing to tell you that we are all doing fine and that we hope all is well back home,
with school holidays being over hopefully the children are all settling back into a normal school routine.
We're looking forward to our leave periods so we can come home and spend some time with you.
PTE A. Bullmore.
