This November, the ABF has planted almost 50 Remembrance crosses in the Field of Remembrance. Each cross is handwritten with a tribute from an ABF beneficiary or supporter to a fallen comrade or loved one who served in the Army.
These dedications include messages from fellow veterans such as Mark Harding, from Cumbria, and a host of broadcasters and entertainers, such as Bear Grylls and James Blunt, together with author and broadcaster, Gyles Brandreth, who also attended the opening ceremony with the ABF’s chief executive, Major General Tim Hyams CB OBE.
