We will remember them. To    learn    more    about    the    Legion's history     and     charities,     click     on     the picture,    right,    to    access    the    National website.

The   Royal   British   Legion   is   now   the   UK's   largest   charity organisation,    and    provides financial,          social          and emotional    support    to    more than   10   million   people   who have       served,       or       are currently      serving      in      the Armed     Forces,     and     their dependants

Thousands   of   British   men   and   women   are   in   action, around   the   world,   everyday.   They   know   that   if   they   need help,   now   or   in   the   future,   the   Legion   is   always   on   active 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.
