MY father served in the Lancashire Fusiliers for around 20 years. He served in India, Germany and France.

He was at Dunkirk and with the D Day landings.

He was a motor bike dispatch rider in the military police and was mentioned in despatches.

He would be appalled at the loss of the Lancashire Regiment.

Thank you for your campaign.

CHRISTINE TOWNSEND (Mrs), Aspen Fold, Oswaldtwistle.
