Dear All
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. http://soldiers-pensions.co.uk/?q=petition
Please forward onto any sympathetic contacts that you may have in your address book.

This isn’t a new petition, and there has been useful progress in this case.
Now…..this is a very worthy cause, and I signed the original petition myself, but please don’t post chain emails onto these forums.
It is a sad sign of our times that they are often mis-used by the unscrupulous to harvest live email addresses for sale to spammers.
Thanks
