Those who served for a minimum of 2 years beyond April 1975 are entitled to a preserved pension pro-rata their service on reaching the age of 60,on the same terms as the pre-April 1975 leavers. This is an outrageous injustice which Governments over the past 30 years have chosen to ignore. I served nearly 5 years 1968-72 and my ex served 9+boy school (included active service in Aden). We worked all hours, while civil service on cushy 40 hour week got pension, we got sweet nothing. Shame on this countries Government. Told our son to never join military services, Just treated like cannon fodder. Do any of you think that this campaign is going anywhere, It's dead in the water. Governments of whatever party don't have a lot of interest in something that happened pre- 1975, for a start it's 46 years ago. If you don't know by now that the Armed Forces Covenant is just another piece of paper............................. The one Minister who is on our side is Johnny Mercer, but look what happened to him after facing Boris down in Parliament, he was sacked, that must tell you all something. Suggest to put in into perspective you read "Tommy Atkins" by Rudyard Kipling, a poem about the British soldier in the days of Empire. If that all sounds rather cynical, well I'm know as being exactly that, I am also a realist. I joined as an RAF aircraft engineering apprentice in 1957 and served for 31 years so I've no complaints as regards pensions. In all honesty, pensions didn't even cross my radar until I re-engaged, it was only at that point I realised I would receive a pension of some sort based on rank and length of service after 18th birthday.

15 days ago Topic: Parents WW2 Medals Alan Mudge Posts: 55	Alan Mudge Posts: 55 Topic: Parents WW2 Medals Morning Julia, As you most probably know, a Will is a legally binding document. 1. Obtain a copy of the Will if you don't already have one. 2. Contact a solicitor who specialises in civil law. 3. Explain the situation and ask if he/she will write what is known as a "Solicitors Letter" to your brother, explaining to him that you have legal right to the medals etc. as per your parents Will and that your brother must pass them on to you. 4. If this does not produce a result, based upon advice from your solicitor you could begin a civil court case against your brother to return those items. 5. Cost in legal fees - ?? As a double check on what I have written above - have a word with your local Citizens Advice Bureau.

He was in 22 squadron on Christmas Island 9th November 1957. I have all his tickets and items he collected along the way to the island. He told me all the stories about everything that happened whilst they were there. Just wondering if your grandad knew mine as well. Many thanks Hi Matthew, I've replied to your message also, just covering all bases. I'd love to hear about your grandad even if he wasn't the Ollie my grandad shared a tent with. I'm deeply interested in the whole event and I'd love to know more about your grandad and his time on Christmas island.
