This week an unknown Second World War soldier was laid to rest with full military honours in Italy.  Research found the soldier was most probably involved in action at the beginning of August 1944, and was a soldier serving with 20th Brigade of the 10th Indian Infantry Division.

Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust Supporting Female Veterans: This initiative was launched yesterday, it’s a navigation toolkit that has pulled all of the support and policy information together in one dedicated place. I’m sure it would also be very useful to male service
covenantfund.org.uk
The Female Veterans Toolkit is a practical resource designed to help organisations and services better support female veterans.

Imagine if everything in life was as good as gold. It’s easy to invest in, could help grow your wealth, and protect it too. A timeless asset that stands strong when others may not.

The only @CWGC burial at St Peter’s Churchyard, Market Bosworth, Leicestershire, belongs to Wren Doris Norman who died in 1943, aged just 18 years old. She served at HMS Ferret, a shore establishment, in Northern Ireland. Unusual to see this type of grave marker was used.

@sallyacb275 @CWGC It was a film I produced for C4 with David Lammy that led to the investigation and report by the CWGC. Look at the credits perhaps or speak to the CWGC. We tried this year make another film about the progress the CWGC has made - but were unable to persuade broadcasters.

It’s been a pretty lonely fight over the years. So I’m pleased many more people far more important than me are involved now. Lots divides the veterans community - and the community as a whole is held back by that division. Let’s see if this one issue can unite everybody and

Today I restart Chemo treatment. This is after spending 25 days over a month in hospital with side effects from the first chemo 8 weeks ago. I was told no more chemo. But I fought and won. Different type so I hope this works. Or I can't be treated with anything else.

Lee has asked me to say a humungous thank you for such amazing support over the last few truly frightening days. He’s a very private bloke and recent events have been incredibly hard to come to terms with. We will walk on slowly together hoping for brighter days ahead. Sending 🥰
