Since assuming my appointment last March, my wife and I have
had the good fortune to meet many of you and your families
personally during our visits around Great Britain and Northern
Ireland and our tours of BAOR and Cyprus.
Wherever we have gone, I have been struck by the way you
have been carrying out your tasks, with the air of efficiency and
professionalism, that marks our high standing today in the eyes
of the rest of the Army and gives me pride as your Director
General.
In the coming year we hope we will see many more of you
and visit those Units we have missed. I know that whatever
1981 may have in store for us, you will all meet its challenges
with the same spirit that has carried us through the difficulties we
have had to face this year.
To all our. officers and soldiers, their families and our
civilian staff, who collectively provide the Army's ubiquitous
Ordnance Services worldwide, my wife and I would like to send
you our greetings, and our sincere hope that you will have a
very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. At the same
time we would like to remember retired members of the Corps
for together we are all part of the family of Ordnance, wherever
we may be.
