About the Royal British Legion
.
The Legion was founded in 1921 as a voice for the ex-Service community and over 380,000 members continue to ensure that this voice does not go unheard. Although the needs of ex-Service people have changed over the years, we are still there to safeguard their welfare, interests and memory. British service people are in action around the world every day of the year.
They know that if they need our support - now or in the future - the Legion is always on active duty for them. Find out more visit:- http://www.britishlegion.org.uk/ or local news at:- www.britishlegion.org.uk/counties/essex
