Sergeant Mathew Telford Grenadier Guards

‘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’

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

Daybreak _silly The following piece in the DM is interesting and well thought through. The similarity with the decline and fall of Simon Dee had also occurred to me. Simon Dee fell a long way down and he never recovered.

I recall that we used to look forward too and enjoy Simon Dee’s teatime show. I could not say the same about TOS when it was in the clutches of Renee & Renata.

Or is it just my youth that I recall – and miss.
