SPARE a thought for lonely lance corporal Chris Cole from Rodbourne. He is serving with the Royal Logistics Corps in Iraq. He has been there since June and doesn't expect to be home until Christmas.
He keeps track of Swindon Town's progress through Saturday editions of the Evening Advertiser, posted to him by his dad.
But man cannot live by football alone, and Lcpl Cole is appealing through the Evening Advertiser for penfriends.
We wish him every success.
