Regiment's 'good sport' pull together for charity
Over 60 British, Chinese and Gurkha soldiers from Hong Kong's newest and shortest-lived regiment, the Hong Kong Logistic Support Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps, will be gritting their teeth and pulling more than a few faces tomorrow (Friday) in their attempt to raise money for charity.
As part of a strenuous Inter-Squadron 24-hour Sportathon, four 15-man teams will try to pull a four-tonne truck 80 metres uphill at their base at Osborn Barracks, Kowloon Tong, in aid of the Gurkha Welfare Trust and the Kely Support Group, a local charity that offers support to Hong Kong's youngsters.
