As a military wife of 38 yrs #RemembranceSunday holds a personal meaning for me
I have known people who went to the Gulf & Afghanistan Wars & never came home
I have seen the impact their loss has on families those who served alongside them

This #RemembranceSunday, let's remember the sheer barbarity, violence and horror of war.
Don't take it from me. This is a poem by Wilfred Owen, who experienced WW1 firsthand.
The message should be simple: There is no glory in war. Never again. Not in our names.

‘The evil of charity is that it tends to make the charitable think that he has done his duty by giving away some trifling sum, his conscience is put to sleep, and he takes no trouble to consider the social problem any further’. Clement Attlee, Prime Minister and Social Worker.

Buried among the kings: Ahead of this weekend's #RemembranceSunday commemorations, read the remarkable story of the Unknown Warrior and how, in 1920, his body was brought from the battlefields of northern France to be buried in the Abbey:

#Remembrance #LestWeForget
ALT A high-angle shot shows the Grave of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey. The black marble gravestone lies flat on a gray tiled floor, surrounded by a thick, rectangular border of vibrant red remembrance poppies with black centers. Gilded brass lettering inscribed on the stone reads: “BENEATH THIS STONE RESTS THE BODY OF A BRITISH WARRIOR UNKNOWN BY NAME OR RANK BROUGHT FROM FRANCE TO LIE AMONG THE MOST ILLUSTRIOUS OF THE LAND AND BURIED HERE ON ARMISTICE DAY 11 NOV: 1920, IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS MAJESTY KING GEORGE V HIS MINISTERS OF STATE THE CHIEFS OF HIS FORCES AND A VAST CONCOURSE OF THE NATION THUS ARE COMMEMORATED THE MANY MULTITUDES WHO DURING THE GREAT WAR OF 1914–1918 GAVE THE MOST THAT MAN CAN GIVE LIFE ITSELF FOR GOD FOR KING AND COUNTRY FOR LOVED ONES HOME AND EMPIRE FOR THE SACRED CAUSE OF JUSTICE AND THE FREEDOM OF THE WORLD THEY BURIED HIM AMONG THE KINGS BECAUSE HE HAD DONE GOOD TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD HIS HOUSE”

I was tasked with researching a man who was killed in WW1, but the family had no details at all. After much delving I discovered that not one but two brothers were killed.
I placed remembrance crosses on both graves and sent the photos to the family, which they are delighted

The youngest British soldier of WW1 was just 12 years old.
His name was Sidney Lewis, a boy from London who ran away from home in August 1915 without telling his parents.
His parents had absolutely no idea where their young son had disappeared to, until a soldier back from the front lines on leave mentioned seeing him in France.
Sidney easily tricked army recruiters who were more than happy to turn a blind eye to underage boys eager to fight.
By the time he was 13, he was operating heavy machine guns in the 106th Machine Gun Company right in the thick of the Battle of the Somme.
He survived six weeks of hell in the Battle of Delville Wood, enduring some of the most horrific casualties of the entire war.
Desperate to save her child, his mother tracked down his military unit and sent a frantic letter to the War Office demanding his release, attaching his birth certificate as absolute proof.
The army had no choice but to discharge him and send him home to his family.
It wasn't until 2013 that historians and the Imperial War Museum officially authenticated his record, confirming that a 12 year-old boy truly braved the worst of the Great War.
Lest we forget.

Our work extends beyond Remembrance Day.
In 2026 alone, we have unveiled new memorials to the missing, began regeneration and upgrade works at sites around the world, presented new digital solutions for missing servicemen, added thousands of names to our database for commemoration, and more.

Remembrance is a time when we come together to reflect on loss and those lost in conflicts worldwide – but for us, remembrance goes far beyond one day in November.
Commemoration of the world war dead is our ongoing commitment, held in trust, to pass along to future generations.
