An Army veteran has called on people to remember those who served in lesser-known conflicts, and not just to focus on “the big wars”.

During his 25 years in the Army, Derek “Benny” Bennett saw active service in Northern Ireland at the height of the Troubles, served in a peacekeeping mission in Cyprus, and as a liaison officer in the Gulf War.
