A grave injustice
- 28 November 2010 23:4082185I don't normally pass these on but coming from a service background I hope you will understand why I felt the need x sheli
Sergeant Matthew Telford of the Grenadier Guards was promoted to that rank in June 2009. In November of that same year, Sergeant Telford was one of 5 British soldiers killed when a rogue Afghan policeman opened fire on them. His wife and family will only receive a Corporal's pension since he only held his rank of Sergeant for less than a year. However, he was killed on operations by the enemy whilst wearing three stripes of a Sergeant on active service. Please sign the petition below to support a change in the rules that deny a hero's widow the pension she deserves.

- 29 November 2010 18:4082313Ditto.grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet.
- 29 November 2010 18:4682314even worse is when a serviceperson dies and their long term partner does not get a pension, even if they have children.
