Freddie the Teddy is the official mascot of the "Freddie Fund". During Craig's time out in Basra, Freddie the Teddy was with him and the lads of Recce Platoon, 2nd Battalion The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment. Following Craig's incident in Basra, we were inundated with messages from people wanting to contribute into a fund for Craig's welfare. Whilst Craig really appreciates these gestures of support from you all, he has expressed that he would like any donations to be pooled into the fund he has set up called "The Freddie Fund", from which he can provide donations to organisations who support the families of, and wounded colleagues who have suffered in Iraq & Afghanistan as a result of operational deployment.
