The Tank Museum Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Now on display in our Battlegroup Afghanistan exhibition is one of 13,500 ‘home comfort’ boxes sent to British soldiers serving in Afghanistan by the charity `Afghan Heroes`. The boxes were made possible by donations from the public. They contain morale-boosting treats and home-comforts for the troops; such as sweets, shower gel and puzzle books to fight the boredom. The charity says the boxes are a way for people at home to say ‘thank you’ to soldiers on active duty – showing that whilst far away, they are not forgotten. `Afghan Heroes` was founded by Denise Harris in 2009, after her son Corporal Lee Scott of 2nd Royal Tank Regiment was killed in Afghanistan.
