This year there will be a book signing stand in aid of the Charity, where you will have the opportunity to purchase and have signed a book by a number of distinguished military authors including: General Sir Mike Jackson, President of ABF The Soldiers’ Charity; Major-General Patrick Cordingley; Major General Christopher Elliott; James Heneage and others.
In addition to ABF The Soldiers’ Charity, the event will be supporting Horatio’s Garden. Horatio’s Garden is a charity that builds beautiful gardens for patients at spinal treatment centres. Named after Horatio Chapple, whose ideas inspired the first garden at Salisbury District Hospital, the charity organises all sorts of creative and therapeutic activities for patients to enjoy in the gardens.
The Soldiers’ Charity began as the Army Benevolent Fund in 1944, and rebranded as the Soldiers’ Charity in 2010. They help thousands of individuals each year, standing by them in conflict and in peacetime, throughout their lives and have done so for over 70 years. They never know what is ahead, but these existing injuries never go away and many will continue to need support in years to come, when it is all to easy to forget that they have put their lives on line to defend us and our country.
