ID cards for veterans.

At the moment, I think Covid has taken priority. I doubt they will roll it out for maybe another 12 Months or When we get back to normal.
The last MOD update:
Update 27 April 2020 The Veterans’ recognition scheme has a 2 phase rollout. Phase 1 is complete; with Service leavers receiving a recognition card as part of the discharge process.
Phase 2 is to extend the scheme to existing veterans so that they can more quickly, easily and securely prove they served in the UK Armed Forces so they can access the services they need.
We had hoped to have this in place by the end of 2019, but due to the requirement to future-proof the scheme so that veterans can access a wider range of benefits, the need to safeguard against fraudulent use means, this process will take longer.
Information on how to apply will be released closer to the launch date. edited by Delhi_Spearman on 27/02/2021

I've not heard anything Anthony. Maybe the MOD website would have something on this? Anthony Metters wrote:
Veterans ID cards are now issued to all persons leaving HM forces, it was announced last year that ID cards would also be issued to older veterans at a later date. Does anyone have any further information on this?

Information on RAF Kirkham

Hi all,
I am currently studying history at Uni and have probably taken in a little more than i can chew. I was wondering if any of you would be able to help me with information on RAF Kirkham or maybe some old photos of the place before it got turned into a prison? Any help would be great.
Thanks. edited by gaf2uk@googlemail.com on 22/02/2021

Hi everyone does anyone have any info on my Grandfather that I am trying to locate. All I know is that he served in the RAF police in RAF wahn during the early 1950s.
His name is Daniel Yule or it could possibly be Daniel Goldstein. Friends called him Danny. Any information would be greatly appreciated
Regards
Harry

On Tuesday 25th Sept there is a gathering to support this campaign in Steine Gardens at the War Memorial in Brighton Sussex. It is hoped the Politicians in the City for their Annual Conference will take note and give us their further support. have a look on EfVA website and become involved. Newspapers both local and National need to be informed of this injustice. Likewise write to your local MP and do not take NO for an answer.

This is very interesting to me. I served from October 1966 till October 1974, 8years and 8 days (maybe 8hours and 8 minutes, but whos counting!). Missed it by 6 months. I tried to get the pension and when informed, sorry no can do, I left it at that.
Does any one think there is a chance to get this or are we all going to die off hoping.

Hi Dennis, I think I can see what you're doing - it seems to be the only one of three options for adding a message that doesnt have an image functionality.
Until we can add a button there, to reply - look at the top right of the forum - there is an 'Add Reply' blue button. Click it.
Then you'll be able to add images.dennis shrubshall wrote:
