OUR Armed Forces Day celebration sees Bradford Bulls take on Halifax in enthralling rugby league action - with a target of raising £10,000 for The Army Benevolent Fund (ABF). We take a look at their work and other members of the Armed Forces who will be attending.

Since 1944, ABF The Soldiers' Charity (formerly the Army Benevolent Fund) has provided support to soldiers, veterans and their immediate families, for life.

The Soldiers' Charity Ambassador Andy Reid MBE - named in the Queen's Birthday Honours List - is our guest of honour tomorrow at Odsal, with more than 10 Army Units in attendance.

The ABF give a lifetime of support to soldiers and veterans from the British Army, and their immediate families, when they are in need. They make grants to individuals through their Regiments and Corps and support a wide range of specialist charities that sustain the British Army ‘family’, both at home and around the world.

They take pride in being responsive, making a difference at a critical point in people’s lives. We have been doing this since 1944, working with veterans of every conflict, and envisage continuing doing so for the ‘long haul’ – supporting all future generations of our soldiers and their dependants.

The 2ND Battalion Yorkshire Regiment (2 Yorks) ahead of tomorrow's clash, with tickets just £10 for adults and £5 for juniors.

The Yorkshire Regiment recruits from across Yorkshire and Teesside, England and the Commonwealth. We recruit our officers nationwide and many from further afield.

Experts in dismounted close combat, 2 YORKS have set the Army standard for Light-Mechanised Infantry and after deploying to Morocco in November 2018 and Afghanistan in 2019, the Battalion is preparing for a return to Cyprus in 2020.

The 2nd Battalion Yorkshire Regiment arrived in Ypres on October 14, 1914. Three weeks later, having taken part in the 1st Battle of Ypres, the remnants of the Battalion marched into Locre. Only a small number of the 1,000-plus officers and men who took part in the Battle survived.

2 YORKS hosted our Academy outfit for a gruelling weekend of pre-season training at their Catterick base - with Leigh Beattie's side put through a series of drills.

The 4 Yorks Regiment will be at Odsal.

The Yorkshire Regiment holds the unique title of being the only County Regiment remaining in the British Army.

With more than 330 years of history and achievements behind us, we are the infantry Regiment of choice for young people looking to join the Army.

The two regular battalions, one armoured infantry (1YORKS based in Warminster) and one light-role (2YORKS - based in Catterick, North Yorkshire) are complemented by our Reserve battalion (4YORKS – based across Yorkshire and Teesside).

Together, our #YorkshireWarriors are highly regarded for their operational excellence and sporting achievements.

Over the past 10 months, The Yorkshire Regiment has led operations in Afghanistan and Estonia and conducted exercises and training in Lithuania, Spain and Morocco. Also, they're deploying to Denmark, Afghanistan and Cyprus over the next 12 months. A busy time for the only County Regiment in the British Army.

With more than 330 years of history, they are the product of the amalgamation of three great antecedent Regiments – The Green Howards, The Prince of Wales’s Own Regiment of Yorkshire and The Duke of Wellington’s Regiment (all with their own historical achievements) including a total of 38 Victoria Crosses.

Referee Jack Smith will officiate tomorrow's clash - as we aim to raise £10,000 for the Soldiers' Charity. We take a look at the referee's Armed Forces background.

Smith, a former Royal Marine, served in Afghanistan but saw his time cut short when shot by a sniper in 2010.

The bullet passed through his lower back, breaking his ribs and hitting his liver, gall bladder, spleen, right lung and diaphragm before leaving through his upper chest.

Smith was lying flat on a rooftop at the time of receiving fire, before rolling off it to avoid further injuries - breaking more ribs in the process.

Suffering two slipped discs meant the now-referee had to turn his back on his playing career before becoming a referee in 2012.

The Light Dragoons is a light cavalry regiment in the Adaptive Force.

It used to be fast horses that helped these multi-skilled soldiers to cover the battlefield quickly – today it’s the Jackal 2 armoured vehicle.

These light cavalry soldiers are tasked with preparing the way for the rest of the force.

They are out in front carrying out many different roles, from scouting for information to engaging enemy targets.

They use Jackal 2 fighting vehicles and other tactical, lightweight equipment to deploy anywhere in the world – often at short notice. And the wide range of operations they tackle means they get to make use of their diverse skills in times of peace and times of conflict.

Today, their 'light' nature means they are able to deploy anywhere in the world at short notice.

Their most recent exercise has seen them move their full compliment of more than 80 armoured vehicles to Morocco in North Africa, where they have been training on terrain that could be mistaken for Mars.
