Title: Please sign and forward, Widows Pension
Post by: AndyLin on November 13, 2011, 18:08:30 PM
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.

Please forward onto any sympathetic contacts that you may have in your address book.
Thank you all in advance

It's a disgrace that our soldiers and their families are treated so badly by our Government.
I have signed and passed it on.
