The Edward Baxter VC
Memorial Fund
Le Souvenir Français is a French association for maintaining war memorials and war memory, comparable to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. It is one of France's oldest associations “d’utilité publique” (being recognised as such on 1st February 1906) and has three aims:
-
to conserve the memory of those who have died for France
-
to maintain memorials to France's war dead
-
to hand down the memory of them to future generations
Le Souvenir Français is dedicated to honour the memory of all those who died For France whether French or foreign nationals.
The Royal British Legion was formed in 1921 to care for those who had suffered as a result of service in the Armed Forces during the war, whether through their own service or through that of a husband, father or son. Granted ‘Royal’ status in 1971 Today we help members of the Armed Services, veterans and their families all year round. We also campaign to improve their lives, organise the Poppy Appeal and remember the fallen.
The Western Front Association was formed with the aim of furthering interest in the period 1914-1918, to perpetuate the memory, courage and comradeship of those of all sides who served their countries in France and Flanders and their own countries during the Great War. The object of the Association is to educate the public in the history of the Great War with particular reference to the Western Front. Applications for membership are welcomed from anyone with like mind
