Sergeant Matthew Telford of the Grenadier Guards was promoted to the
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.
