I commissioned this Review in July 2010 in the wake of celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of the Cadet Forces. I wanted to ensure that we were making the most of not just the Cadet Forces but the many other youth engagement activities that the MOD, including the Armed Forces, undertake. I believe that not enough is done to promote the work that we do in this area. For too long we have been keeping Defence’s Youth Engagement activities to ourselves.

  • Military Spousal/Partner Employment: Identifying the Barriers and Support Required
    Military spousal/partner employment: Identifying the barriers and support required Professor Clare Lyonette, Dr Sally-Anne Barnes and Dr Erika Kispeter (IER) Natalie Fisher and Karen Newell (QinetiQ) Acknowledgements The Institute for Employment Research at the University of Warwick and QinetiQ would like to thank AFF for its help and support throughout the research, especially Louise Simpson and Laura Lewin. We would also like to thank members of the Partner Employment Steering Group (PESG) who commented on early findings presented at a meeting in May 2018. Last, but by no means least, we would like to thank all the participants who took part in the research: the stakeholders, employers and - most importantly - the military spouses and partners who generously gave up their time to tell us about their own experiences. Foreword At the Army Families Federation (AFF), we have long been aware of the challenges that military families face when attempting to maintain a career, or even just a job, alongside the typically very mobile life that comes with the territory. We are delighted to have been given LIBOR funding to further explore the employment situation that many partners find themselves in, and very grateful for the excellent job that theWarwick Institute for Employment Research have done, in giving this important area of work the impetus of academically driven evidence it needed to take it to the next level. Being a military family is unique and being the partner of a serving person is also unique; long distances from family support, intermittent support from the serving partner, and a highly mobile way of life creates unique challenges for non-serving partners, especially when it comes to looking for work and trying to maintain a career.

  • YELVERTON MEN on the CRAPSTONE WAR MEMORIAL Short Biographies of Those Who Lost Their Lives in WW1 Compiled by Peter Hamilton-Leggett October 2014
    YELVERTON MEN ON THE CRAPSTONE WAR MEMORIAL short biographies of those who lost their lives in WW1 compiled by Peter Hamilton-Leggett October 2014 In this, the centenary year of the Great War, it is a fitting tribute we owe to those who sacrificed their lives for the freedoms we so cherish today. There was a "naivety and innocence" among the men who signed up for the First World War. They had no idea of what they were going into. They didn't just sacrifice their lives, they sacrificed their future and left a sad and depleted generation behind. Recruitment was intense both in Tavistock & Plymouth - bright uniforms, interesting military equipment, brass bands, local dignitaries, friendly recruiting officers, enticing leaflets (see Europe for Free) and press coverage. However, the people of Devon were reluctant to come forward especially as war broke out at harvest time. In Devon many stayed at home to farm. The national average who went to war in each village was 11% whereas Devon averaged only 5% but our part of West Devon seems to have kicked this trend. Of the 1,788 inhabitants in Buckland Monachorum 208 went off to fight. 36 lost their lives of which 10 lived in Yelverton. The area also lead the way in generosity by collecting eggs & sphagnum moss, knitting garments and sending food parcels let alone collecting £1000s. The hotly debated Military Service Act came into force on 2 March 1916. From this date, most single men between the ages of eighteen and forty-one years old were considered to be in the military and could be called-up to fight at any time.
