Honouring a legacy of service

Chris served with distinction in HM Armed Forces for 22 years until 1994, followed by a role at the Royal Air Force Museum Cosford until his retirement in 2010. His commitment to the Armed Forces community continued through his leadership as Chair of the Armed Forces Community Covenant in Telford and Wrekin, and:
