About the Event

While we remember those who lost their lives in conflict, it is also important to recognise the lasting impact of war on those who returned home and the families who supported them.

On the eve of Remembrance Day, we will look at how war impacted those who returned with life-changing injuries, both physical and mental, and what was done to assist them. This will include information about the charities such as the Lord Roberts' Memorial Workshops, the Red Cross and St. Dunstans and the repatriation hospitals which supported and retrained disabled and blinded servicemen and women.

We will also remember the families of those who lost loved ones or who welcomed home family members who were not the same as when they left.
