A GET-TOGETHER for veterans is being hosted at The Railway in Ryde, and will feature live music.

Isle of Wight war veteran, Dale Hillier, is organising the event, which he says will help raise money for his GoFundMe page.

The 58-year-old is concerned there is a dearth of services for veterans on the Island, and is looking to establish and run a seven-day veterans hub ­— a place for veterans to fraternise and share experiences.

Dale Hillier, who served in the Falklands War.

Dale, who has previously raised funds for charities such as Forgotten Veterans, has set a target of £300,000, which he says will be enough to set up a premises and hire staff.
