AS an ex-serviceman who has lived in Blackburn for about 40 years, I have never been able to understand why there is not a British Legion club in the town.

I have travelled throughout the British Isles and have found RBL clubs in little villages and towns half the size of Blackburn.

Now, with all the casualties in Afghanistan and Iraq, would it not be appropriate for the RBL and all veterans in the area to rectify this problem?
