Charity calendar shows soldiers at home

A charity calendar has been created that sees armed forces personnel at home with their families.

It is the brainchild of Louise Fetigan, who is the co-founder of My Daddy Is A Soldier Adventures.

The good cause seeks to help children cope with the loss of their parent when they are away on a tour of duty and Ms Fetigan declared herself very happy with the results, labelling the calendar as "adorable".

"You rarely get to see the bond between soldiers and their children so we invited families to send in photos," she added.

People from around the world were asked to submit entries on the topic of 'me and my soldier' and the 12 best have made it into the Little Troopers 2013 calendar.

Ms Fetigan thinks the finished version – proceeds of which will go to her charity – gives a great insight into the special relationship that exists between soldiers and their kids.
