Marking milestone

Dear Editor

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, has had many memorable anniversaries since Major James Gildea founded the then Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Families Association in 1885.

This year sees the

130th anniversary of the inauguration of SSAFA nurses – then called the Alexandra Nurses.

I am inviting your readers to tell us about their family connection to our SSAFA nurses.

Please send your stories to ssafa.sisters@ssafa.org.uk or by post to our address with the envelope marked SSAFA Nursing 130 by March 30.

Sir Andrew Gregory, chair, SSAFA
