About The Royal British Legion
 | The Royal British Legion was formed in 1921 and is dedicated to caring for the men and women who have served in Britain's armed forces along with their dependants.
The Legion answers up to 300,000 calls for help each year and our work is expected to grow for the next 20 years as those who saw service in World War Two and the National Service Generation find they need help.
There has only been one year since 1945 when our armed forces have not been on active service (1968).
During this last half century, and more, over 12,000 (some sources quote 16,000) servicemen and women have been killed or injured.
Veterans from conflicts and operations who served in places such as Korea, Oman, Borneo, The Falklands, Malaya, Aden, The Gulf, Northern Ireland, Kosovo and Bosnia now also need our help.
Please help us to help them.
