It’s vital to remember the people who help us. That’s why we must never forget the unique sacrifice of our Armed Forces. See what we'll be remembering in 2020 ➡️ rbl.org.uk/remembrance

Just met a lady wearing a 20 year @PoppyLegion merit badge. We have never met, but we got chatting away like we were old friends. She was very interested in the Tonbridge Poppy Appeal, how much we raised and all the past events we have done. The RBL is a family. A great family.

he recent news of alleged British SF murders of four young men or boys in Afghanistan is disturbing. However, do we in the West rather arrogantly apply our cultural standards when it comes to saying who is an adult or child? See this article: themilitarytimes.co.uk/news/…

Michael Bell & 2 friends he served with got matching tattoos during their first deployment together, marking their strong bond. For 100s of years sailors have tattooed their knuckles with a badge of their profession. Read more tattoo stories. ➡️ bit.ly/2CUalaK @royalnavy
