There are many reasons that could cause a veteran’s life to fall apart. The lasting impact of a training accident; the loss of a friend; battlefield trauma. When something goes wrong, we’re here to help them rebuild their lives. #PoppyAppeal

🍽️ The evening saw HMS Scott’s Wardroom host Trafalgar Night — a celebration of leadership, courage, and the enduring spirit of the Royal Navy.

Today on Trafalgar Day we honour Nelson’s legacy - leadership built on trust, clarity of intent and empowering teams to adapt and win. Today the RN continues to prepare for warfighting readiness. To the Immortal Memory of Admiral Lord Nelson, and to all those who fell with him.

All foreign currencies to the British Sailor are known as Ickies, which they would typically spend on a good run ashore with their oppos (night out with friends). Once you break an Icky you end up with Klebbies which are usually 100 to an Icky.
