Remembering Royal Marine Damian Davies this festive period. 🎖️🎄

Matthew and his family don’t have any set-in-stone traditions remembering Damian at Christmas. Instead, they prefer simply talking about him and remembering the time they spent together.

“We always talk about dad at Christmas and people often tell me how similar we both are. He loved a good biscuit, for a start, and would eat them by the handful. Sometimes he’d apparently just sit there and work through a whole packet, which I can relate to.

🎨🖌️In 2021, army veteran Kevin Willis, who served with the Royal Logistic Corps, began the portraits of all 457 who died serving in Afghanistan. He has now finished the paintings and is trying to find the last family members to send the paintings to.

His main objective of the project was to "help everyone remember our fallen friends and soldiers".

Amazing work, Kevin!👏

A Scottish war veteran who played a vital role during the D-Day landings has paid tribute to those who gave their lives ahead of the battle’s 80th anniversary next year.

Albert Lamond, 98, is cared for by Erskine Veterans Charity at the Veteran’s Village, Bishopton, Renfrewshire, a charity we are pleased to have supported.

Mr Lamond will be focused on the events of June 6 1944, where he watched from the sea as the battle raged on the beaches of Normandy, marking the start of the liberation of Western Europe from the N***s.

Mr Lamond joined the Royal Navy at the age of 18 when he joined in 1943.

We thank you for your brave service.
