Stop Dudley RMLY TA Unit closing
One of the Britain's most successful Territorial Army regiments is to be axed months after the Government vowed to boost the number of reserve solders.
The Royal Mercian and Lancastrian Yeomanry (RMLY), a TA unit dating back to 1794, is to be sacrificed in a major shake-up of reserve forces. Half its solders have served in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Its recently held one of its most successful recruiting events with over 50 extra potential recruits signing up.
We call on the MoD to reconsider their plans and instead support the success and leadership shown by the RMLY in recruiting, training and retaining loyal solders.
