Friends of the Forces regional award winners announced
01 June 2010
Earlier this year, the Legion launched a major national and regional award scheme called 'Friends of the Forces' to recognise the contributions made by some of Britain's most loyal volunteers.
We received over 400 nominations for people who have gone out of their way to help care, support, campaign or raise funds for any of Britain's Service personnel and veterans.
