Sergeant Matthew Telford of the Grenadier Guards was promoted to the rank in June 2009
In November of that same year, Sergeant Telford was one of 5 British soldiers killed when a rogue Afghan policeman opened fire on them.
His wife and family will only receive a Corporal's pension since he only held his rank of Sergeant for less than a year.However, he was killed on operations by the enemy whilst wearing three stripes of a Sergeant on active service.
Please sign the petition below to support a change in the rules that deny a hero's widow the pension she deserves.
