Businesses in Essex have clubbed together to fund two handbooks to help soldiers and their families get used to life on Carver Barracks.

The Operational Deployment and Overseas Exercise Welfare Guide and the Information Handbook have been produced by Newport Business Association (NBA), according to the Saffron Walden Reporter.

They are full of useful information for soldiers of 33 and 101 engineer regiments, the source noted.

Local companies paid for the production as a gesture to honour the professionalism of the troops currently serving at the Wimbash base.

NBA founder Jeremy Rose said the body fully support the servicemen and women at the barracks.

He added: [Our members] members fully endorse the work the Regimental Welfare Office does to promote the welfare of families, friends and loved ones who face genuine difficulties back home".

Lance Corporal David Sterling Brown of the Royal Mercian and Lancastrian Yeomanry recently revealed how the army’s Return to Work programme helped him find employment after being injured in a tour of Afghanistan.
