Nigel
Nigel served in the Grenadier Guards between 1952 and 1954 and then spent another three years as a reservist. After completing his training, Nigel joined his battalion at Windsor Castle. He rose quickly through the ranks, becoming a Pioneer Sergeant and second in command within 11 months.
When his time in the Army came to an end, Nigel had a distinguished career in the Prison Service and a long and happy marriage with his wife Barabara, who died in 2009. Nigel became a widower again earlier this year when his second wife, Heather, passed away.
“Heather was ill over Christmas last year and then died in January. It was too lonely for me living alone.”
Nigel again: “Living here has improved my life. At 92 years old, I’ve outlived my friends, but there are new friends here and this is my home. Without RBLI I’d be alone.”
No veteran should be alone this Christmas.
Make a gift today and together, we can make sure they aren’t.
