SUSSEX Express readers pulled out all the stops after Uckfield mum Paula Horton appealed for pen pals for her two sons serving in southern Iraq.

Both Paula's boys are serving with the Second Battalion Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, usually stationed in Germany.

Alistair, 23 is a Corporal and an electrical engineer while James, 21 is a Lance-Corporal and works as a chef.
