This event takes place in Whitehall on Remembrance Sunday. Whilst it is not organised by the Association, an allocation for tickets has been made by the CVA London Branch for Commando veterans. Veteran members who wish to take part should contact the London Branch Secretary, David Justice, for more details [email protected]

 

Full details of those who wish to participate must be sent to the Royal British Legion in August. Therefore act now to avoid disappointment. Fully paid up CVA members will have priority. Should there then be any places left, non members who have applied will be considered. It is recommended that veterans who are non members apply to join the CVA to guarantee consideration. The following details are required by David (see contact details above): Title; first name; surname, date of birth; nationality; country of birth; full postal address; email (optional); contact phone number; service number (if appropriate); CVA membership number.
