SACK “CRAPELLO” IF HE IS SO RIGID IN NOT EVEN WANTING TO LISTEN TO HIS PLAYERS IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THINGS BETTER, HE DOES NOT DESERVE SUCH A HIGHLY PAID JOB (IS THAT ONE OF THE MAIN FUNCTIONS OF ANY MANAGER TO LISTEN)
AS YOU CAN APPRECIATE THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE TO THE SITE THIS SUNDAY, I HAVE VISITORS FOR THE WEEK END.
I HAVE ADDED THE “CRICH” NEWSLETTER TO THE SITE, AND MADE SOME CHANGES, (BUT NOT A GREAT DEAL)

WAR VETERANS AND SAVINGS
PHILIP SAID: “SECOND WORLD WAR VETERANS ARE NOT THE ONLY POSSIBLE CLAIMANTS. THE RULES APPLY TO ANYONE WHO DIES FROM WOUNDS, ACCIDENT OR DISEASE CONTRACTED WHILE ON ACTIVE SERVICE WITH THE ARMED FORCES. “THERE WILL BE DOZENS OF FAMILIES
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY WITH RELATIVES WHO HAVE SERVED IN OTHER CONFLICTS SUCH AS KOREA, THE FALKLANDS, NORTHERN IRELAND, IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN WHO COULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE COMPLETE EXEMPTION FROM INHERITANCE TAX.”
EXECUTORS OF THE WILL HAD PREVIOUSLY TRIED AND FAILED IN THEIR INITIAL CLAIM FOR EXEMPTION AND SOUGHT ADVICE FROM STEPHENS SCOWN FOR A SECOND OPINION, AS THE DEATH CERTIFICATE MADE NO MENTION OF INJURIES SUSTAINED BY THE VETERAN.
COMMENTING ON THIS CASE, PHILIP EXPLAINED: “WE WERE ABLE TO CHANGE THE CAUSE OF DEATH RECORDED TO INCLUDE THE SEVERE ULCERATION OF THE VETERAN’S LEGS, WHICH HE’D SUFFERED ALMOST CONTINUOUSLY SINCE LEAVING THE ARMED FORCES.
WE OBTAINED MEDICAL EVIDENCE TO SHOW HOW THOSE INJURIES HAD AFFECTED HIS DAILY LIFE FOR YEARS.” EVENTUALLY THE AMENDMENT TO THE DEATH CERTIFICATE WAS CONFIRMED AND A FRESH APPLICATION MADE TO THE VETERANS AGENCY, WHICH AGREED THE CAUSE OF DEATH WAS.
LINKED TO THOSE INJURIES AND FULL EXEMPTION WAS GRANTED BY THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE.
HE SAID: “I’M SURE THAT MANY FAMILIES ARE NOT AWARE OF IT. IN THIS CASE, A LIFETIME OF PAIN WAS OVERLOOKED WHEN DEATH WAS CERTIFIED.
IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR VETERANS TO RECORD HOW THEY SUSTAINED INJURIES BY TALKING TO THEIR SOLICITOR WHEN MAKING THEIR WILL. IF WE HAVE THE INFORMATION IN ADVANCE, WE CAN PRESENT A MUCH BETTER CASE TO THE MOD.”
PHILIP REED HEADS UP THE PRIVATE CLIENT TEAM IN ST AUSTELL AND IS AN INHERITANCE TAX SPECIALIST, DEALING WITH TAXABLE ESTATES AND TRUSTS.
HE DEALS WITH ALL ASPECTS OF WILLS, ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATES, TRUSTS AND ELDERLY CLIENT ISSUES.

FINDING MISSING GUYS
OUT THERE THERE ARE GUYS THAT YOU KNOW THAT HAVE SERVED IN THE “SHERWOOD FORESTERS” “WORCESTERS” AND MORE RECENTLY 1WFR.
MOST WILL TELL YOU THAT THEY REGRET LEAVING, MOST WILL TELL YOU THAT, THEY WOULD LIKE MORE CONTACT WITH EX FRIENDS, BUT DO NOT KNOW WERE TO START, HERE THEN IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PASS ON OUR DETAILS, AND BRING THEM BACK INTO THE FOLD ONCE AGAIN. (DO IT, IT
DOES MAKE SENSE)
REGIMENTAL EVENTS
YOU WILL OBVIOUSLY SEE THAT THERE IS NO UP TO DATE INFORMATION HERE ON WHAT THE REGIMENT IS REALLY DOING, I AM SORRY FOR THAT, IF I AM TOLD, IT GETS PUBLISHED, I DON’T KNOW SO NO REPORTS. SORRY?
GIBRALTAR REUNION AND DINNER
FOR THE SECOND TIME THE GIBRALTAN EX PATS FROM THE WORCESTER REGIMENT HAVE HELD THERE DINNER, ON THE ROCK.
WITH THE PRESENTATION OF A NEW STANDARD TO MAKE THEM INTO AN ASSOCIATION, LOOKING AT THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND COMMENTS BY GUYS RETURNING HERE IT WAS AN EXTREMELY GOOD WEEK.
ANCESTRY
RHQ ALSO RUN A FREE SEARCH FOR RELATIVES THAT MAY HAVE SERVED IN THE REGIMENT.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT THESE RELATIVES WHY NOT CONTACT THEM THERE MAY BE SOME SURPRISES.
IF THEY DO YOU A GOOD JOB, I AM SURE YOU COULD DONATE A LITTLE BIT TO ONE OF THERE CHARITIES.
A FINAL SHORT WORD
AS AN ENDING I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THOSE THAT REGULARLY CONTRIBUTE TO THESE PAGES, AND THE EMAILS.
I MAY NOT ANSWER THEM ALL, BUT YOU WILL SEE THE ITEM ON THE SITE OR WITHIN THESE PAGES, FROM TIME TO TIME.
I WOULD ALSO REMIND YOU OF SUPPLYING PHOTOGRAPHS, AND NEWS OF EVENTS THAT WE DON’T KNOW ABOUT.

ALL OF YOU HAVE A NICE HOLIDAY BREAK, AND COME BACK REFRESHED, AND READY TO GO
SACK “CRAPELLO” IF HE IS SO RIGID IN NOT EVEN WANTING TO LISTEN TO HIS PLAYERS IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THINGS BETTER, HE DOES NOT DESERVE SUCH A HIGHLY PAID JOB (IS THAT ONE OF THE MAIN FUNCTIONS OF ANY MANAGER TO LISTEN)
AS YOU CAN APPRECIATE THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE TO THE SITE THIS SUNDAY, I HAVE VISITORS FOR THE WEEK END.

WAR VETERANS AND SAVINGS
PHILIP SAID: “SECOND WORLD WAR VETERANS ARE NOT THE ONLY POSSIBLE CLAIMANTS. THE RULES APPLY TO ANYONE WHO DIES FROM WOUNDS, ACCIDENT OR DISEASE CONTRACTED WHILE ON ACTIVE SERVICE WITH THE ARMED FORCES. “THERE WILL BE DOZENS OF FAMILIES
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY WITH RELATIVES WHO HAVE SERVED IN OTHER CONFLICTS SUCH AS KOREA, THE FALKLANDS, NORTHERN IRELAND, IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN WHO COULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE COMPLETE EXEMPTION FROM INHERITANCE TAX.”
EXECUTORS OF THE WILL HAD PREVIOUSLY TRIED AND FAILED IN THEIR INITIAL CLAIM FOR EXEMPTION AND SOUGHT ADVICE FROM STEPHENS SCOWN FOR A SECOND OPINION, AS THE DEATH CERTIFICATE MADE NO MENTION OF INJURIES SUSTAINED BY THE VETERAN.
COMMENTING ON THIS CASE, PHILIP EXPLAINED: “WE WERE ABLE TO CHANGE THE CAUSE OF DEATH RECORDED TO INCLUDE THE SEVERE ULCERATION OF THE VETERAN’S LEGS, WHICH HE’D SUFFERED ALMOST CONTINUOUSLY SINCE LEAVING THE ARMED FORCES.
WE OBTAINED MEDICAL EVIDENCE TO SHOW HOW THOSE INJURIES HAD AFFECTED HIS DAILY LIFE FOR YEARS.” EVENTUALLY THE AMENDMENT TO THE DEATH CERTIFICATE WAS CONFIRMED AND A FRESH APPLICATION MADE TO THE VETERANS AGENCY, WHICH AGREED THE CAUSE OF DEATH WAS.
LINKED TO THOSE INJURIES AND FULL EXEMPTION WAS GRANTED BY THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE.
HE SAID: “I’M SURE THAT MANY FAMILIES ARE NOT AWARE OF IT. IN THIS CASE, A LIFETIME OF PAIN WAS OVERLOOKED WHEN DEATH WAS CERTIFIED.
IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR VETERANS TO RECORD HOW THEY SUSTAINED INJURIES BY TALKING TO THEIR SOLICITOR WHEN MAKING THEIR WILL. IF WE HAVE THE INFORMATION IN ADVANCE, WE CAN PRESENT A MUCH BETTER CASE TO THE MOD.”

FINDING MISSING GUYS
OUT THERE THERE ARE GUYS THAT YOU KNOW THAT HAVE SERVED IN THE “SHERWOOD FORESTERS” “WORCESTERS” AND MORE RECENTLY 1WFR.
MOST WILL TELL YOU THAT THEY REGRET LEAVING, MOST WILL TELL YOU THAT, THEY WOULD LIKE MORE CONTACT WITH EX FRIENDS, BUT DO NOT KNOW WERE TO START, HERE THEN IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PASS ON OUR DETAILS, AND BRING THEM BACK INTO THE FOLD ONCE AGAIN. (DO IT, IT
DOES MAKE SENSE)
REGIMENTAL EVENTS
YOU WILL OBVIOUSLY SEE THAT THERE IS NO UP TO DATE INFORMATION HERE ON WHAT THE REGIMENT IS REALLY DOING, I AM SORRY FOR THAT, IF I AM TOLD, IT GETS PUBLISHED, I DON’T KNOW SO NO REPORTS. SORRY?
GIBRALTAR REUNION AND DINNER
FOR THE SECOND TIME THE GIBRALTAN EX PATS FROM THE WORCESTER REGIMENT HAVE HELD THERE DINNER, ON THE ROCK.
WITH THE PRESENTATION OF A NEW STANDARD TO MAKE THEM INTO AN ASSOCIATION, LOOKING AT THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND COMMENTS BY GUYS RETURNING HERE IT WAS AN EXTREMELY GOOD WEEK.
ANCESTRY
RHQ ALSO RUN A FREE SEARCH FOR RELATIVES THAT MAY HAVE SERVED IN THE REGIMENT.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT THESE RELATIVES WHY NOT CONTACT THEM THERE MAY BE SOME SURPRISES.
IF THEY DO YOU A GOOD JOB, I AM SURE YOU COULD DONATE A LITTLE BIT TO ONE OF THERE CHARITIES.
A FINAL SHORT WORD
AS AN ENDING I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THOSE THAT REGULARLY CONTRIBUTE TO THESE PAGES, AND THE EMAILS.
I MAY NOT ANSWER THEM ALL, BUT YOU WILL SEE THE ITEM ON THE SITE OR WITHIN THESE PAGES, FROM TIME TO TIME.
I WOULD ALSO REMIND YOU OF SUPPLYING PHOTOGRAPHS, AND NEWS OF EVENTS THAT WE DON’T KNOW ABOUT.
WITHOUT YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS THE SITE WOULD NOT BE WORTH DOING, SO PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING.
(YOU STOP SENDING, I STOP WRITING)
ALL OF YOU HAVE A NICE HOLIDAY BREAK, AND COME BACK REFRESHED, AND READY TO GO

GOOGLE
HAVE ANALYSED MORE THAN 240 MILLION WEB PAGES IN THE LAST 13 MONTHS, AND FOUND THAT FAKE ANTIVIRUS PROGRAMS ACCOUNTED FOR 15 PER CENT OF ALL THE MALICIOUS SOFTWARE IT DETECTED ONLINE.
CYBER CRIMINALS ARE USING INCREASINGLY SOPHISTICATED TACTICS TO TRICK UNSUSPECTING COMPUTER USERS IN TO DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING SOFTWARE LACED WITH MALICIOUS CODE, WHICH, WHEN ACTIVATED, GIVES HACKERS "BACK DOOR" ACCESS TO A COMPUTER. THIS ALLOWS CRIMINALS TO USE THE MACHINE TO SEND SPAM EMAILS, OR TO TRY AND CAPTURE PERSONAL INFORMATION AND LOGIN DETAILS FOR ONLINE BANKING AND EMAIL ACCOUNTS.
SECURITY EXPERTS HAVE WARNED THAT ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR SCAMS IS TO FRIGHTEN COMPUTER USERS BY POPPING UP MESSAGES ON THEIR SCREEN, WARNING THEM THAT A VIRUS HAS BEEN DETECTED ON THEIR MACHINE, AND ADVISING THEM THAT THE ONLY WAY TO REMOVE THE VIRUS IS TO DOWNLOAD THE ADVERTISED ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE.
BUT USERS WHO CLICK ON THE LINK ARE IN FACT DUPED IN TO HANDING OVER THEIR CREDIT CARD DETAILS TO CYBER CRIMINALS IN EXCHANGE FOR SOFTWARE LACED WITH MALICIOUS CODE THAT CAN PUT THEIR MACHINE AT THE MERCY OF CROOKS.
"THE FAKE ANTIVIRUS THREAT IS RISING IN PREVALENCE, BOTH ABSOLUTELY AND RELATIVE TO OTHER FORMS OF WEB-BASED MALWARE," SAID GOOGLE IN ITS FINDINGS. "CLEARLY, THERE IS A DEFINITIVE UPWARD TREND IN THE NUMBER OF NEW FAKE ANTIVIRUS DOMAINS THAT WE ENCOUNTER EACH WEEK.
"SURPRISINGLY, MANY USERS FALL VICTIM TO THESE ATTACKS AND PAY TO REGISTER THE FAKE ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, FAKE ANTIVIRUS PROGRAMS ARE OFTEN BUNDLED WITH OTHER MALWARE, WHICH REMAINS ON A VICTIM'S COMPUTER, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A PAYMENT IS MADE."
MORE THAN HALF OF THE FAKE ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE IS DELIVERED THROUGH ADVERTS.
GOOGLE SAID THAT ALTHOUGH IT USES SPECIAL TOOLS TO FILTER OUT WEBSITES CONTAINING MALICIOUS CODE FROM ITS SEARCH RESULTS, CYBER CRIMINALS WERE QUICKLY MOVING THE SITES BETWEEN DIFFERENT WEB ADDRESSES TO THROW THEM OFF THE SCENT.
GOOGLE IDENTIFIED MORE THAN 11,000 WEB DOMAIN NAMES USED TO DISTRIBUTE MALWARE-LACED ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE.
SECURITY EXPERTS HAVE ADVISED COMPUTER USERS TO ENSURE THEY ONLY INSTALL LEGITIMATE ANTIVIRUS PROGRAMS FROM REPUTABLE COMPANIES, SUCH AS NORTON AND MCAFEE, AND NOT TO CLICK ON ANY UNSOLICITED POP-UPS THAT CLAIM TO HAVE DETECTED A VIRUS, AND OFFER TOOLS TO REMOVE IT.
