Can you help our soldiers?

Cool ties are filled with crystals which when soaked in cold water help to keep troops cool.

American military personnel are issued them as part of their standard kit unlike UK soldiers.

Tracy Mounsey of SOS said: “I am looking for a sewing/needle group who would be able to make up the cool ties so we can send them out to the soldiers.

“At the height of summer the temperature in Iraq and Afghanistan can reach more than 100 Fahrenheit.

“Operating in these temperatures and keeping a cool clear head is very difficult, under normal circumstances, but in these highly dangerous areas it is vitally important.

“Quite simply this simple piece of fabric could make all the difference, and indeed could even save lives."  

Instructions will be provided for anyone who is available to help.
