Len Keeling and Martin Talling would like to thank all those who have either assisted or attended the funerals of the following members recently, Steve Wright, Peter Handel, Mark Bessell, Philip Miller, Pete Long, and Richard Smith. It has been an extremely busy fortnight but each veteran received a great send-off; thanks to the cohesive support of our veterans. Well done.
The Veterans’ Recognition Scheme has a two-phase rollout. Phase 1 is complete; with Service leavers receiving a recognition card as part of the discharge process.
Phase 2 is to extend the scheme to existing veterans so that they can more quickly, easily and securely prove they served in the UK Armed Forces so they can access the services they need.
