"I would like to encourage any local veterans to apply for the badge, it's very important that their contributions and sacrifices are recognised and honoured."

The following can also qualify: Merchant Navy seamen, Home Guard, Polish Forces under UK command, members of the Cypress regiment during the Second World War, Veterans of the Suez Canal Zone (1951 - 54) as well as war widows and war widowers who receive a War Widows/War Widowers Pension.
