4 | HEIDE | OCTOBER <strong>2011</strong><br />
Homecoming is here! Welcome home to all of our 7th Armoured Brigade ‘Desert Rats’ that have already<br />
arrived, and to those that will be arriving later this month. In this issue we have ‘Homecoming How-To’,<br />
a helpful guide through the range of emotions that can occur around homecoming time, with a special section<br />
on how children handle homecoming at different ages. Did you know that there is a special homecoming<br />
DVD that you can rent too? It is available to borrow from your Unit Welfare Offices, libraries, and HIVEs.<br />
Our final Garrison Op HOME RAT park trip was to Wildpark Lüneburger Heide in September, so check<br />
out the photos in the next issue of Heide Magazine. Next month we will also feature photos of some of<br />
the homecoming parades. Finally, best of luck to those elements of 16 Tank Transporter Regiment, based in<br />
Fallingbostel Station, that are deploying on Op HERRICK 15!<br />
Have a great month!<br />
