News TACTICAL CLOTHING PMCI has recently received the following communication and would like to bring it to the attention of all former Project Matrix colleagues. TROUSERS Dear Former Project MATRIX Colleagues, SHIRTS As you may already be aware, this year is the 10th anniversary of the commencement of Project MATRIX in Iraq. To mark the occasion, a Project MATRIX Service of Remembrance and ‘Reunion’ will be held here in Central London. As a former member of the project, who contributed to its success, you are cordially invited to attend. The date for the event has now been confirmed as Saturday 29 March 2014. We sincerely hope that as many people as possible will be able to be there, of all nationalities, so that the 32 former colleagues that sadly lost their lives during the 7-year duration of the project can be remembered in the best possible way. However we also realise that there a large number of you may sadly be unable to attend due to other commitments, including continuing work overseas. SOCKS JACKETS The Service of Remembrance will take place in The Guards Chapel, and will conducted by Reverend David Cooper (former MATRIX G7 Civil Affairs Director 2006-2007 and 2 PARA Padre during the Falklands War).
