duty for them.
The poppy is the Legion's iconic symbol,
and every year the Poppy Appeal
campaign raises millions of pounds for its
many worthy causes.
The Legion is regarded as the nation's custodian of
Remembrance, and although the needs of Britain's
military personnel have changed over the years, the
Legion will always safeguard their well-being.

As a legacy to the harsh cruelties of World War I, the
British Legion was founded in 1921 to provide the ex-
Service community with a voice. One that its 450,000+
members, worldwide, makes sure never goes unheard.

In recognition of its 50 years of dedicated service, in
1971 it was granted a Royal Charter, giving it the
privilege of adding the prefix ‘Royal’ to its name.
