Royal British Legion Scotland says Thank You

The Royal British Legion Scotland and Poppyscotland have been asked by the Royal British Legion to assist in the delivery of their “Thank You” project in Scotland.  With Remembrance being led by the Legion since 1921, the commemoration of the end of the First World War in 2018 is going to be one of the most memorable and significant moments in the history of the Legion and the entire nation.

During the last 100 days of the centenary, from 8th August to 11th November we want to encourage everyone to thank those who fought, those who returned and those who worked to rebuild the country for future generations and achieved incredible advancements in many areas including medicine, the arts and everyday life.

We are inviting our members and supporters to take part in a movement to say ‘Thank You’ to the First World War generation who served, sacrifice and changed our world.  Those who fell on the battlefields. Those who returned. Those who served on the home front, in the farms and factories. And all those who after the war built a new world – our world.  We want everyone to join us, and say thank you in their own way?

If you would like to get involved you can get more information by emailing us at [email protected] 

You can also get more information on why this project is important and how to say Thank You in 2018 by watching the Thank You videos below.

We would also love to hear what you have planned to say Thank You in 2018 so please keep in touch and send us your photos or videos of your members and supporters saying "Thank You" throughout the year.  These can be sent to [email protected]
