Army Commando Santa Claus handing Christmas parcels to soldiers in Camp Bastion, Afghanistan.

Spirits were raised in Camp Bastion when Santa Claus delivered parcels to troops from the
3rd Regiment the Royal Artillery (3 RHA).WO1 Scott Hawke, RSM dressed up as Santa Claus and surprised troops in 3 RHA having put the frighteners on them by asking them to meet him at a specified time to discuss a serious issue.

Moral was lifted as Santa appeared around the corner in a white pickup truck headed up by Rudolph and Santa’s helper, and parcels from friends and families back in the UK and Germany were dished out to the troops.

Soldiers of 1st Battalion The Scots Guards are pictured delivering Christmas mail in style on a quad bike at Forward Operating Base (FOB) Oulette.

Royal Navy officers onboard HMS Westminster serving sailors their Christmas dinner as is traditional.

Whilst conducting maritime security patrols in the Indian Ocean, HMS Westminster went festive for the day enjoying a traditional Christmas roast whilst at sea. The Christmas festivities saw all members of the Ship's Company sit down for a full spread of Christmas which on a Warship at sea is traditionally served up by the Officers. With the Commanding Officer of HMS Westminster, Captain Hugh Beard RN carving the selection of meats on offer, the rest of the Ship's company enjoyed a hearty feast set out before them.
