Pensions Petition for War widows
By: Tracey Harman
Date: 29 Nov 2011 3:20 PM

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. http://soldiers-pensions.co.uk/?q=petition
