The welfare and wellbeing of the Armed Forces has been at the heart of RBL since our inception in 1921. One of our earliest interventions saw us create a dedicated hospital and village to support ex-serving personnel suffering from tuberculosis after the First World War.

Members have been vital to our work since 1921 and continue to play a key role in supporting the Armed Forces community and championing Remembrance.
