The Coastguard Cutter Vol2 No8 August 2004: Unlike his sea-going compatriots in the Fleet, the Coastguard, by being shore based had the luxury of home-life and companionship of wife and family. He was at home for his toddlers first faltering steps, he was at his wife's side when illness threatened the household, he had a place of comfort to return to after his days work. Many readers have stressed that the posting to Ireland left their families with many happy memories of their stay here. A most charming family group photo sent to me, sets the tone for this month's Coastguard Cutter. Article Category: Newsletter Archives
