Royal British Legion

The British Legion was founded in 1921 as a voice for the ex-service community as a merger of four organisations: the Comarades of the Great War, the National Association of Discharged Sailors and Soldiers, the National Federation of Discharged and Demobilized Sailors and Soldiers and the Officers' Association.

The Royal British Legion provides lifelong support for the Armed Forces community - serving men and women, veterans, and their families.

It is the intention of the Last Post Association to maintain this daily act of homage in perpetuity.

New Ypres League

Originally formed in 1920, the Ypres League was the first Great War veterans organisation with its main focus being on the Ypres Salient and those who fought there . The first President of the Ypres League Sir John French, the First Earl of Ypres, was instrumental in the fundraising for the building of St George's Memorial Church and his bust sits proudly in the Church Today . The Ypres League were responsible for many projects in the Ypres Salient, many of which are still visible .

The New Ypres League was launched in 2024 and maintains many of the aims of the original Ypres League including reforming the close bond of support with St Georges Memorial Church . In January 2026 members of the New Ypres League volunteered to clean the brass remembrance plaques on the backs of the chairs in the church so once again they could be legible to worshipers and visitors alike. The organisation is currently engaged in several projects in the Ypres Salient and always welcomes new members .
