Hello Folks, Please sign this very just and deserved petition.(Apologies if you have already seen and signed)Pension of Soldier Killed in Action
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.
