What we Remember
The Legion advocates a specific type of Remembrance connected to the British Armed Forces, those who were killed, those who fought with them and alongside them.
Recent Conflicts
Since the Second World War, the United Kingdom’s Armed Forces have fought in numerous conflicts around the world, from colonial unrest to the fight against terrorism.
Second World War
In September 1939, just 21 years after the end of the First World War, a second global war began when Nazi Germany invaded Poland.
First World War
The Royal British Legion remembers the First World War (1914–18) as one of the most significant conflicts of the 20th century, with its impact still being felt today.
WW1 CENTENARY
The First World War was the conflict that brought the Legion into existence, when veterans joined together to provide support to each other. From 2014-2018 we join the nation in commemorating the centenary of the war to end all wars and remember all who fought and died in it.
Great Pilgrimage 90
In the biggest membership event in its history, The Royal British Legion is recreating its 1928 pilgrimage to World War One battlefields.
