It is vital to remember the past and to learn lessons from it. Irish statesman Edmund Burke is often misquoted as having said, “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.” Spanish philosopher George Santayana is credited with the aphorism, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” while British statesman Winston Churchill wrote, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Will we learn from what the Lord Jesus did for the world as well as remember and revere the memory of the fallen in WW1

Always been meaning to post more of the VJ75 photoshoot with the remaining Chindits from this time last year, so here you go. This is Ian Niven MBE. A sprightly 96ish....jumping around the flat, making me feel very welcome, despite covid. Life long Man City fan, and incidentally an honorary member of the board. He had a bit of a George Burns vibe about him. #britishlegion #VJ75 #VJday ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Retouching on the road by the excellent @mikegeorgeharris (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTCE_Aatq70/?utm_medium=tumblr

Preparing some of our poppy brooches. Have you taken a look at our Etsy listings yet? - which is your fav, red, red glitter or yellow!? . . Our Poppy Brooches have been especially designed by us, with Remembrance in mind. They are based on the traditional poppy used by the Poppy Appeal, where the red poppy was inspired by the bright red poppies of Flanders (Papaver rhoeas), that covered the battle-scarred fields of Ypres in 1915 (WW1). The Poppy Appeal supports "those currently serving in [Britain’s] Armed Forces, veterans, and their families and dependants." For more information please visit: https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/remembrance/how-we-remember/ (Please note, this is not the charity's official merchandise.) . . . To get yourself one please visit our Etsy shop - link in bio or click product tag in this photo.

The Force as well as this glorious #cheshirecat was with me. Getting this on yesterday took a lot of courage as I was feeling very subpar and inadequate... until I was with my @theiconiclegion family and knew I was in caring, supportive and very good hands. Thank you everyone for being your wonderful selves for #poppyappeal at @bluewatershopping. You made me feel so proud and happy to be part of this. #starwars #cosplay #charity #britishlegion #bluewater #thelastjedi #theriseofskywalker #theforceawakens #generalleia (at Bluewater Shopping Centre, Kent) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Z-coADHtC/?igshid=1w54n66u72ikq
