Hi There,

I'm The Scotsman TKID 2153 (Scotty) from Redback Squad in the Terror Australis Garrison. Here are som pix of me and my Squad in action. I'm the Imp Off in these pix.

That's me front row, fourth from the left. If you can't tell.

We have about thirty members in our squad now. And growing all the time.

I've been in the Legion for a year now and love the charity events the most. It feels great giving back to the community. Nothing better.

I just read your newsletter and wanted to say how proud I am to be part of this organisation. Well done.

I was deeply saddend to read the last news. Thoughts and well wishes to the Max's family/friends and all the troopers who were lucky to spend time with him.

Respectfully Yours,

Scotty

Welcome to the MWG, Scotty!!
Fantastic pictures

You guys surely know how to have fun with it!

Max made a large impact on a lot of lives for having been with us for so short a time period, and we were deeply saddened by the outcome. I think we were all hoping for a miracle there.

*and I'd be totally up for a coin trade, but I'm sure you'll be bombarded with offers.

Thanks for the welcome.

Yes...... I love doing coin trades. Checkout the link in my sig-bar.

I'm looking for your latest coin at the moment. The 10th Ann. I'm just after one for my collection. So if someone could help me out that would be great.

Also, If you see something I have, that you need.... PM me, because I have done trades for coins that I already have. Just to help people improve their collections.

Oh! I forgot to add that I only have a few of these babys left!

We are going to become a garrison soon so these will become quite rare.

Yeah, your CO brought that up in the council. Best wishes to your unit!

Greetings Scotty,

welcome to the MWG boards. Our CO is right, Max Lacewell meant a lot to all of us here in the Garrison. Many of us came to show our support for "The Little Dude"

It is sad to see that he did end up leaving us. But we are comforted in the fact that he's in a better place.

However, there are 'other Max's' out there that we want to reach out to and god-willing we will! So we keep our seals tight and check our 6's and we head out to other events such as Children's Memorial and WALK NOW for Autism! where we can reach more kids that are in need.

you're correct being a part of the 501st is just a heck of an experience. I for one am glad you guys (down under) are doing a heckuva job! I hear you guys are growing at leaps and bounds. My cousin and aunt still live down there and I've promised them i'd come see them. I think they live near Melbourne? If you guys are near there I'll see what events you're doing perhaps I can go and troop with you

Stay in touch Scotty!

Melbourne is about a three hour flight from where I am. But we have cheap airfares AUS$69 one way. So not too bad.

Knightfall Squad's territory is Melbourne. Great bunch of Troopers.

If anyone wants to, come to the TAG site and say Hi. We have an International Troopers section.
