Welcome to <strong>Remembrance</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> (<strong>for</strong>merly<br />

Poppy <strong>Travel</strong>) <strong>for</strong> Schools <strong>and</strong> Young People<br />

<strong>Remembrance</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> is the travel division of The<br />

Royal British Legion. As the national custodian of<br />

<strong>Remembrance</strong>, The Royal British Legion <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>Remembrance</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> believe that <strong>Remembrance</strong><br />

should be used to in<strong>for</strong>m <strong>people</strong> about the realities<br />

of conflict, those that are affected by wars <strong>and</strong> the<br />

importance of peace.<br />

The Royal British Legion was created to support<br />

ex-Service men <strong>and</strong> women <strong>and</strong> their families.<br />

Part of that support was to take them to the<br />

cemeteries, sites <strong>and</strong> memorials associated with<br />

conflict. This commitment has led to us organising<br />

<strong>tours</strong> to Western Europe <strong>and</strong> beyond, since the<br />

Great Pilgrimage of 1927.<br />

<strong>Remembrance</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> Tours <strong>for</strong> Schools <strong>and</strong> Young<br />

People, along with The Royal British Legion’s<br />

learning programme, support <strong>schools</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>young</strong><br />

<strong>people</strong> as they start to underst<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> participate<br />

in <strong>Remembrance</strong> <strong>and</strong> learn about <strong>people</strong> whose<br />

lives are affected by conflict.<br />

Knowing about those that fought, or those whose<br />

lives were affected by conflict, has the power to<br />

bring communities together, recognising contributions<br />

<strong>and</strong> sacrifice around the world. For students in the<br />

UK, the opportunity to travel with <strong>Remembrance</strong><br />

<strong>Travel</strong> <strong>and</strong> participate in an act of <strong>Remembrance</strong>,<br />

can open up new experiences <strong>and</strong> levels of<br />

underst<strong>and</strong>ing about those who live around them.<br />

“If I was to do this trip again but have to<br />

walk to Dunkirk, I would do it. I can proudly<br />

say that this was the best trip I have ever<br />

been on in my entire life.”<br />
