Military Honours

Fifteen members of Arbroath's elite 45 Commando Group and one soldier from the attached 7 (Sphinx) Battery, Royal Artillery have been decorated for acts of extreme courage during the unit's last tour in Afghanistan.

Let us not forget these people receive no bonuses, no overtime payments, no elite catering services such as those in the Houses of Parliament, very limited expenses and they never have the opportunity to have a second/third job because their own work is so demanding. The pay for a new recruit is less than for a new member of the police or fire services.
