Salisbury Reds managing director, Andrew Wickham said: “People in this region are rightfully proud of our country’s military - as is our team here in Salisbury.
“As part of this community, we are keen to show our support for servicemen and women.
“The work our troops have done in the past, and still do now, in unimaginably hostile war zones is incredibly humbling. We want to recognise their efforts even in this small way to help them travel to events or to see family and friends on Armed Forces Day.”
