Remembrance Day

 

Today is Remembrance or Armistice Day where we mark the moment what became known as the First World War ended and has become the day we think about the sacrifices given for our freedom and liberty

In The U.K. apart from providing advice and support for those who have left the armed  services, the Royal British Legion is front and centre of the transmission of what that act of sacrifice meant - the loss of lives, the injuries sustained and its impact together with the freedom that was preserved at that cost so they work with the Scouts Association who provided support during both World Wars at home and in the Field too in teaching this to children and young adults.

Shown is this years badge set.

For reasons probably more connected around convenience since W.W.2. in this country more store by way of acts of Remembrance has been given to Remembrance Sunday which will be in two days time where Scouts and Girl Guides will parade, lay down their Standards and present their wreath at the local cenotaph
