SOLDIERS visited a Kirklees care home to meet residents on Armed Forces Day.
Two serving members of the 4th Battalion of the Royal Yorkshire Regiment went to Aden Lodge in Clayton West to mark the occasion.
Stephen Henderson and Jason Lingard spoke to residents about their roles in the Army, the countries they visited on duty, and the medals they have received during their careers.
Stephen, who has been in the Army for 30 years, said he had been to Canada, Africa, America, Ireland, Afghanistan, and Gibraltar, among other places.
While chatting with the residents, Stephen and Jason also helped with the refreshments trolley, serving cups of tea while answering questions.
Sarah Durham, home manager at Aden Lodge Care Home, said: “We’d like to say a massive thank you to Stephen Henderson and Jason Lingard from the 4th Battalion of the Royal Yorkshire Regiment for visiting us.
“Our residents thoroughly enjoyed meeting them, hearing about their roles in the Army, asking lots of questions, and telling them about their own relatives in the armed forces.
“It was a walk down memory lane for many, as they remembered their relatives who had served in the past.”
