Hello and welcome to the online home of Clock to Clock Armed Forces Support March 2010.

We are currently enlisted Territorial Army Soldiers primarily from C Company 6 Battalion, The Rifles. Based in and around Dorchester and Poole in Dorset.

Like many we are horrified about how Soldiers, nay Heroes fare upon return from life threatening operations around the world, and like many we want to help but don't know how, so we called a pub talk.

We take pride in our Armed forces as much as we do our own fitness so when we were talking and drinking too much I jested about marching from Exmouth to Weymouth along the coast to keep or fitness up and raise money for our servicemen and women that serve overseas, the boys said its a great idea, so here it is and its for everyone to have a go, anyone may join us,  as we will march in our own time as civilians, with civilians like you.

We will march 53 miles over two days, June 12th and 13th along the South West Coast Path from Exmouth Town Clock to Weymouth Town Clock, hence the name "Clock to Clock".  For route and admin details see 'About Us' and 'Arrival' section. We will be doing this march as civilians apart from our reserve duties.

We think it is the least we can do stand by our servicemen and women serving overseas and help people like you that want to offer their support those that went before. Its our way of supporting them, as some of us may never have the honour to serve alongside them.

Fund Management by Kevin Hale of the Undentable trust. 

We are proud to announce that the Undentable Trust will manage our funds on our behalf. This charity was established to commemorate the life of Rifleman Captain Mark Hale RIP and has gone form strength to strength in fund raising for forces charities and by sheer jolly luck exactly the same three as we have chosen below.

The Charities we wish to benefit are as follows;

The Royal British Legion- For the Veterans. 

As we will be one day. The Legions across the country are being forgotten and  we wish to spread the word that they are for all servicemen and Women, and their families, for life and beyond. We chose 'The Legion' as our prime cause as they not only support the local communities around them, they filter funding down to many other causes that can often be overlooked.

The Rifles Benevolent Fund-For the Families 

Of those of our seven Rifles regiments, five of whom serve overseas. It seems everyday that another Rifleman has fallen, that is only the beginning of the battle for the families left without them. Also it is an all too common story to read about yet another Soldier who has seen active duty and come back to his home country battle scarred and even to a broken home, to live on the streets like a pauper when most often they are heroes, but deep down they are still people just like you and me. We all know that home is where the heart is. This charity is a wing of comfort, support and fraternity to our families while they are gone, and if we never return we know they will have the benevolence of The Rifles Charities.

Help for Heroes- For the wounded.

It is highly commendable the work of this volunteer organisation that has in just a few short years raised the profile of our nations armed forces in the public eye to such a level that almost nowhere and from nobody is there scorn towards our service personnel, only thanks and praise. We owe them a great debt of gratitude, we wish to honour them as they do us.

With your support we will March! Join us!

Swift and Bold.

Rifleman Luke Du Laic.
