Committee celebrates 100 years anniversary
A committee offering support to war veterans celebrates its centenary this year.
The Island's War Pensions Committee marked the milestone with a special meeting at Government Buildings yesterday (Friday).
It claims to be the first of its kind in the British Isles - set up at the height of the First World War in 1916.
Chairman Tom Lord says by the end of the war, the Island was receiving more money through war pensions than in taxation:
