Blackpool Veteran Major speaks -but never for me.

And Blackpool councillor and veteran Major Jim Houldsworth, also a member of the Ex-Service Committee, added: "It will be partly a remembrance service for those who haven't come home safely and a thanksgiving service for soldiers who have returned to their families.

What is Houldsworth a veteran of? Choir services? Bad singing? Idiotic parades? Ignoring the real vets? Self promotion?
As a former Gunner, a veteran and a professional soldier, the further the likes of Bell and Houldsworth are away from any organisation for me and my fellow former injured regulars, the better.
