About the Project
This May a team of veterans are travelling to Gibraltar to help renovate Lord Airey’s Battery, an iconic element of Gibraltar’s heritage which was built by British troops in 1891 and saw service throughout both World Wars. Since decommissioned in 1976, the gun has fallen into disrepair and is now a subject of a renovation project spearheaded by military historian Pete Jackson, Trustee of the Gibraltar Heritage Trust.
Five veterans who have struggled and faced homelessness since leaving the Armed Forces and who have each benefited from the support of Alabaré's veterans' teams, will be helping to restore the gun as part of a week-long project.
