Dr Murrison, who rose to become Surgeon General during his time in the Navy, also told what the Royal British Legion means to him and his military family.

His grandfather, Alexander Murrison, was a reservist who served as a Navy engineer in World War One. Andrew's brother Richard was a Rear-Admiral, while two of his five daughters are in the Forces. Sophie, 27, is an Army captain and Sarah, 24, is a sub-lieutenant in the Navy. The Minister for Defence People, Families and Veterans, 61, said: 'My daughters have decided not to go into medicine and not to go into politics, so I am enormously proud that two of them have decided to go into the Armed Forces.
