14/10/20 Derbyshire member becomes Chelsea Pensioner
(click on photo for larger image)
Former soldier and Derbyshire NARPO member ex PC 1219 Ted Fell has been measured up for his 'Scarlets' and marched off to join the Chelsea Pensioners.
The new home for the Royal Artillery veteran is the Royal Hospital Chelsea - the building in 66 acres of land that was commissioned by King Charles I in 1692 for retired soldiers. It’s the home of the Royal Chelsea Flower Show.....and 300 specially picked red-coated pensioners like Ted.
A soldier for 22 years, Ted joined the regular Army after his 12 months National Service in 1957 and left the Army in 1979. Ted was soon back in uniform, joining the Derbyshire Constabulary where he served for the next 16 years. He was stationed at Chapel-en-le-Frith, New Mills and Whaley Bridge, and was well respected by all those who had the pleasure to work with him.
Ted’s wife died 2 years ago, he has kept close links to the Army and was chairman of Chapel-en-le-Frith Royal British Legion.
He had been thinking of joining the Chelsea Pensioners for a couple of years, finally applying at the start of this year. He spent four days there in May, looking over the establishment and facing an interview panel.
A short time later, a letter dropped onto the doormat of Ted’s Chapel-en-le-Frith home. He was in, and on the 12th October Ted was on his way to that new life in Chelsea.
On behalf of Derbyshire NARPO I would like to send him all our best wishes for the future.
