The history of our reserves has been showcased in an exhibition at London's Victoria railway station.

The stories of Nobel Prize winner Alexander Fleming and former British Prime Minister Edward Heath, who both served as reservists, were among those featured in the exhibition yesterday, 24 February.

It showed the significant contribution reserve forces from all 3 services have made to UK defence over the past century, and was very timely given the focus this year on the centenary of the start of the First World War.

Put together by MOD staff and a Reserve Forces and Cadets Association historian, Alexander Fleming and Edward Heath were just 2 of the famous reservists that were featured in the exhibition.
