Elderly army veterans stand together at Remembrance Parade in full military uniform

A resident at Dorset House Nursing Home in Droitwich was reunited with his former colleagues from the Royal Military Police during the Remembrance period.

Resident Tony Bowlder was honoured to welcome his guests, Mike Clarke and Trevor Basset, to the home in their full military uniform. The reunion evoked precious memories as the gentleman reminisced of their years of service over tea and beer. 
 
Tony emotionally commented:
“Living with Dementia makes you feel like you’ve lost your identity, but this experience has made me feel myself again”. 
 
The veterans were reunited once more on Remembrance Sunday, attending the Remembrance parade in Droitwich in their military uniform.
