Craig Orchard ‘04 Letter from a College mum. “Do you remember the flags you gave the Dove boys a few years ago? Well, I thought you would be proud to see how far and wide they travel. Here is a recent pic of Matt in Afghanistan with his College flag. So amusing that it was prioritised and safely packed along with the very few personal belongings they are permitted to take with them. Proud College boys indeed!” Veryll Mackrory
