I f you received a letter from your RBL club and the envelope was posted with a prison frank and prison address (no indication that it was from your RBL) would you be offended. This has happened to my parents who are pensioners in their 70s it caused great distress and because they complained about this matter to their club they have been expelled for life.......Your comments pls. No time wasters..

They did complain to the RBL and were expelled for this. A committee members who works at the prison sent the RBL legion through the prison mailing system. Hope this clarifies the tale!!

I so agree barking dog, as members of the RBL for nearly forty years and ex service personnel, my parents have supported the RBL financially and pastorally. They are now in their 70s and to receive a letter with a prison frank on caused them distress, they have many grandchildren in their late teens and early 20s and feared something had happened to one of them,

Complain to the RBL no one should be on the committee if they are in prison.
Make sure it is not a wind up first though, contact the club and ask who the committee members are.
Good Luck

The contents should be more interesting than the prison frank on the outside. I wouldn't care where it was posted from I'm only interested in assisting the many good causes the RBL helps and its work for ex-servicemen and women.
There is an explanation fpr the postmark, I suspect, less said easiest mended.

Your parents were so out of touch with the lives of the their grand kids they automatically assume they were in prison??
If they feel so hard done by the R.B.L. why don't they get the press involved, write a letter to the Editor of a National Newspaper to highlight their complaint.
Also address a Registered letter to the Guvnor of the Prison to highlight the fact that non-Prison letters are being dispatched at the expense of his office to R.B.L. members.
You don't mention was the dismissal from a local Branch or via the National Association of the R.B.L.

You asked this question 3 months ago - is this ANOTHER letter?
Or are you just asking the same thing over and over and wasting our time?
