The DUP men made the pledge last week on The Royal British Legion’s campaign website - www.timetodoyourbit.org.uk.

The website features the charity’s general election manifesto, which sets out a list of priorities for the next Government, including improving the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme and tackling poverty among older veterans and widows.
