EDINGTON
REmEmBRaNCE 2018
This year is a special milestone as it marks 100 years since the end of the First World War On 11th November 1918. In 1921 the British Legion was founded to help those returning from that war face all sorts of problems, including unemployment, homelessness, and physical and mental injuries. The Royal British Legion (as it is now named) is still caring for our Service men, women and their families whatever hardships they face. We are able to do this due to the superb public support which is particularly given during the annual Poppy Appeal.
The Edington and District Branch of the Royal British Legion will, as usual, be conducting a house to house poppy collection this year as well as providing static collection points at the Three Daggers, the Farm Shop and the Post Office in Edington. I would ask that those of you who intend to show your support by purchasing a poppy (or some of the other items available) do so by making that purchase from the Edington and District Branch collectors and make this year a record for the Branch.
Stewart Jenkinson, Chairman and Poppy Appeal Honorary Organiser, Edington and District Branch, The Royal British Legion
