Veterans Badge Update

You are hereby advised that as a consequence of the Secretary of War Pension’s Directive WPE1 dated 8 August 2007, all personnel stationed with the British Commonwealth Far East Strategic Reserve are deemed to have War/Emergency Service for the purposes of the War Pensions Act 1954. The applicable period is from 1 November 1953 until 31 December 1966. This now means that all these personnel are Veteran’s and therefore qualify for the Veterans Badge. For those that do not already have one they should apply quoting the directive and their applicable service. YEAR OF THE VETERAN CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION OF SERVICE.
