Thank you to everyone who sent a card to Kathleen!

I'm so pleased to announce that Kathleen recieved 420 cards for her 100th birthday, from residents, businesses, nurseries, holiday clubs and military organisations from across the UK and wider Europe, with post travelling from as far away as Canada, Hong Kong and Australia. The cards were sent in response to the care home team’s special request for Kathleen to be surprised with 100 birthday cards in honour of her past military service.

We greatly appreciate all of the support for our special campaign

  1. And no one sent her a Shackleton’s High Seat Chair?

  4. Thanks for returning with an update.

    >Kathleen was also visited by WO2 John Morrish RM, Regional Engagement Officer SW & CI for Royal Navy, dressed in full military uniform, who presented her with a letter on behalf of the First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff in recognition of Kathleen’s service in the Wrens. Afterwards, Kathleen blew out the candles on her birthday cake, made by the care home’s chefs, and then watched a special performance by the Bovington Military Wives Choir, which rounded off the day of celebrations in style.

    What a day.

  6. This is my first time hearing about this lady but how wonderful that so many people participated in sending her good wishes! 🎉🥳 Hope she had a very happy birthday.
