Chris didn’t write a diary entry today. However, if you like what you’ve read so far, please help us support those effected by the conflict by donating what you can below.
About The Diary
This is the real diary of a soldier who fought on the frontline in Afghanistan. In his own words, Pte.C.Burtenshaw 3011 6964 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, writes a brutally honest account of his experiences, not just as his therapy, but for his children.
The Diary Of My Afghanistan Tour 2010/2011, portrays the human element of the Afghanistan conflict to help those back home understand, that ‘as much as we love of our jobs and being out here, we are all of us, still human.’
353 is not a number
It is a person. It is inspired by Conrad Lewis. Who became the 353rd soldier in the theatre of Afghanistan to give up everything for what he believed in.
353 is a charitable trust with the aim of helping members of the military community by delivering long-term support to a variety of charities, soldiers and their families. To make as big a difference as possible through partnerships with other organisations. This enables us to achieve our objective of providing a career and income within 353 for those affected by military conflict.
Who We Support
The 353 Trust supports injured soldiers, the families of the bereaved, and other military charities, with our combined efforts and in Conrad's memory. Funds raised will be shared amongst other military charities including;
- Troop Aid
- Nowzad
- Forces Support
- Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Charity
- Support our Paras
- Fisher House
These highly efficient charities are working tirelessly to support those who fought bravely in Afghanistan and for all those it effected.
