If thats the case SPB, then any member of the forces traveling home to attend a remembrance day march should be entitled to travel expenses, but guess what, as they are doing off their own back, no chance. This is not a duty event, it is a voluntary parade and has a very large social and political element, therefore they should not be entitled to duty travel.
If you are representing the RN or Defence then guess what, you get Duty travel (provided budget approval is granted).
I'm not feeling the brotherly love in this thread.
In the big scheme of things, paying 50, 100 or however many are going travelling expenses, is hardly going break the bank. Consider it compensation for the years of persecution. They get to meet some new friends and you get to keep the duty.

The RN pay their expenses as it is of value to be seen as a progressive, forward thinking employer. They are representing the RN
It's no different to being paid expenses to represent the service at sport, with the exception that there's less bumming involved.
