Christmas Greetings from Noah!

‘Who is Noah?’ I hear you cry.

Well, he is the Salonika Campaign Society’s new mule – an ‘Adoption Star’ at Redwings Horse (and mule and donkey) Sanctuary in Norfolk. In September we said farewell to Muffin, the mule we had adopted in 2015 in recognition of the part played by mules and other animals in the Macedonian campaign. We were sorry to lose SCS Honorary Member Muffin but, at 36, he had had a long and happy life at Redwings; something that looked most unlikely when sent for slaughter with his mother as a foal.

Much as happens with royal succession, the transition from Muffin to Noah has been seamless and we look forward to him enjoying many years as an Honorary member of the Society. We will introduce him properly in the new year but, in the meantime, it is a pleasure to share with you the Christmas card he has sent to all his friends at the SCS.
