charities.<\/p>\n<p>The military personnel are all members of the 2nd Battalion of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (2 LANCS) &ndash; which is stationed at Weeton Barracks in Lancashire &ndash; and they made the treats for the British Limbless Ex Service Men's Association, ABF &ndash; The Soldiers Charity and Broughton House, the Lancashire Evening Post reports.<\/p>\n<p>Lee Wolstencroft, food services warrant officer of 42 Brigade, said the standard of cakes made was &quot;outstanding&quot; and all those who took part should be proud.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We're thrilled to be able to present them to three such deserving charities which do so much good work for those who have been injured in service,&quot; he added.<\/p>\n<p>It comes after 2 LANCS &ndash; a regular army infantry battalion
