Today we’re launching a powerful new campaign to mark the start of the Royal British Legion’s 2024 Poppy Appeal, highlighting the mental scars linked to military service. Battlefield trauma and mental health issues can manifest at any time in life and in different ways, including addiction, debt, homelessness and relationship breakdowns. From recovery to financial support and camaraderie, your poppy helps the Royal British Legion to support the Armed Forces community whenever they need us.

"Once more unto the breach". The rogues of the Special Air Service are back... Coming later this year to the BBC. Always a little further. Photo credits: BBC/Banijay Rights/@robertviglasky/@ludovicrobert/Dino Sertovic #RogueHeroes #SASRogueHeroes #BBC

There are so many amazing stories similar to this from across the second world war, that would make great scenes in films. Improvise, Adapt and Steal an Enemy Aircraft you aren't trained on and fly home without being shot down.

#FoolMeOnce has been a hugely successful show around the world which is a fantastic achievement for a British TV production. Whilst it's been incredibly popular amongst the general population it has had some military personnel up in arms due to some of the plot details, but mostly the uniforms. A team from Bare Arms helped with military aspects of some of the episodes whilst it was in the script development stage (primarily helping transplant the story from the US to the UK), but were not present during the filming or on set. In order to stick closely to the plot from the American book, there were some suggestions that could not be taken onboard. This is not uncommon with dramatic productions as the plot always has to come first over accuracy. Due to certain plot elements, the production could not get clearance from the MOD to use British insignia or dress, so they created their own. Hence the mess dress, ranks, medals and wings all being fictional and not consistent with British regulations. As with the BBC drama 'Vigil', this meant creating their own parallel military force that is not the British Army (or the Royal Air Force in the case of Vigil). Much like a film about a fast food restaurant being unable to use a real restaurant's uniform and logos without clearance, (consider this the military version of "MacBurgerDuke"). This meant that the production didn't have to stick to British military standards if it adversely affected budget, plot or time. Sometimes this can come down to an artistic choice about the look and feel of a show, such as our work on 'Sex Education' where entirely fictitious uniforms were created for the military school that had inspirations from both the UK and the US. 'Fool Me Once' is a fictional drama with a minor military element, and as is not uncommon in those circumstances, it was decided that there would be no military adviser present on set during filming. The production did very kindly credit one of our script advisers as the 'military adviser' for the show, which has been misunderstood by many as meaning we were involved in the filming, which is not the case; we were only involved at the early script stages. Thank you to everyone who has sent messages and contacted us about our work and what we do. For those interested in other shows we have worked on that portrayed the real UK armed forces may we point you towards 'SAS:Rogue Heroes' on BBC iPlayer, the first series of 'The Capture', or even the military parades in seasons 5 and 6 of 'The Crown'.

It is with a heavy heart that we report that the last surviving member of the Long Range Desert Group, and honourary original SAS member, Mike Sadler MC MM, has passed away. Sadler was unique, an expert navigator whose skill and temperament formed the bond between L Detachment SAS and the LRDG. Without him the SAS would have struggled to survive during their early days. He was able to put them on top of airfields, hundreds, sometimes thousands of miles beyond enemy lines, in the dark and dead of night. Later on he joined the SAS, commissioned (although Stirling never completed the paperwork, causing Sadler to be arrested for impersonating an officer) and joined the intelligence section for the invasion of France. After the war he explored Antarctica (there is a place named Sadler's Gap in his honour) and joined MI6 where he spent the rest of his career. The word legend, is often bandied around. Sadler was the embodiment of the word. Now the book is closed on an amazing bit of military history. Rest in peace. Always a little further. #SAS #RogueHeroes #MikeSadler #LRDG #MI6
