title: War widows and veterans need the best nhs care.
abstract: I write as an ex-RAF nursing sister and war widow who lost my husband in a Vulcan bomber crash in 1975. There are many more recent war widows who need our help, including the relatives of the Nimrod explosion in Afghanistan in 2006, which killed 14 members of the armed forces.
