White Rabbit has asked us to post this petition plea as he is an ex soldier it is something that is close to his heart:
SIGNED UP AND SENT ON PLEASE?
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. It took me less than 5 minutes to do this; it really is very simple to do.
