Friday, 24 June 2022 01:00

Salisbury Reds is offering free travel for current veteran military personnel on Saturday 25th June 2022 to mark Armed Forces Day.

“People in this region are rightfully proud of our country’s military - as is our team here in Wiltshire,” said Salisbury Reds managing director, Andrew Wickham.

“As part of this community, we are keen to show our support for servicemen and women.

“The work our troops have done in the past, and still do now, in unimaginably hostile war zones is incredibly humbling. And we want to recognise their efforts even in this small way to help them travel to events or to see family and friends on Armed Forces Day.

“On Saturday 25 June, we welcome all those wearing their military uniform, displaying medals, or showing their military ID card on board our buses, and they may travel for free with us all day.”
