SECOND World War veterans across the country can sign up for a new multi-million-pound commemorative funding scheme that will provide Lottery support for anniversary trips to the places where they saw action.
The Big Lottery Fund has announced the opening of its funding initiative, Heroes Return 2, pledging funding for veterans, spouses, widows and carers wishing to mark overseas anniversaries throughout 2009 and 2010.
It has opened up a Heroes Return 2 hotline on 0845 00 00 121 for veterans to ring for further information.
Hundreds have already registered their interest in the scheme.
