War Widows Association org.uk

The War Widows Association is essentially a pressure group and exists to improve the conditions of War Widows and their dependants in Great Britain. Its work encompasses those who have suffered bereavement as a result of World War II and all conflicts since then including Iraq and Afghanistan. The WWA also represents those who have suffered the loss of their husband in peacetime, when his death was attributable to his service life.

The FEPOW’s endured 3 ½ years of the most horrific mental and physical treatment, including malnutrition, tropical diseases etc. 

Those lucky enough to return home continued to suffer in silence, with continuous nightmares and bad health yet they endeavoured to try and live normal lives, never complaining or asking for anything. 

They have never been fully recognized for all the mental and physical torment they went through.

As many as a third of retired military veterans are struggling to make ends meet, the Royal British Legion says.  The survey coincides with a warning from former SAS soldier Andy McNab about the mental health problems faced by those serving in the forces today.
