British Legion

The British Legion, formally known as the Royal British Legion (RBL), is a charity organization in the United Kingdom dedicated to supporting current and former members of the armed forces and their families. Founded in 1921, it provides essential welfare services, including financial assistance, mental health support, and social care. The Legion also campaigns for the rights and well-being of veterans and commemorates those who have served. Its symbol, the poppy, is widely recognized and worn especially around Remembrance Day, symbolizing remembrance for soldiers who have died in conflict.
