The Black Rats Choir was formed about a fortnight ago by personnel serving in Lashkar Gah to sing at tomorrow evening’s carol concert at the Main Operating Base. The choir meets in the base chapel tent and its members include medics, signallers and staff officers serving in HQ Task Force Helmand fitting in rehearsals between their duties and other operational commitments. ‘Merry Christmas Everyone’ is dedicated to our friends and families at our home base in Catterick, North Yorkshire.
