Royal British Legion
From ARRSEpedia
The Royal British Legion (aka TRBL, aka 'The Legion') was formed in 1921 to offer cut price alcoholic fluids to servicemen of World War One through a network of social clubs. Today, they afford an ideal forum for anyone associated with the military to pontificate about how the services were “better in their day” - much like ARRSE.
In addition, they also provide a significant amount of financial and emotional support to the 10.5 million eligible people in the UK. On a yearly basis they deal with thousands of cases, safeguarding the welfare, interests and memory of all serving and ex-serviceman. They provide a potent voice for their community (e.g. the recent 'Honour the Covenant' campaign) and are nationally recognised through their Poppy Appeal.
The RBL is always on duty.
