In Rememberance of Private Arthur Walker, Yorkshire Regiment.
The battalion was stationed in the Ypres salient in July 1917.
He had only been on the western front a month when he died from wounds received.

Thank you Sharon for your wonderful picture and story of Arthur.

“Our garden Tommy stands under an Olive Tree, a symbol of peace in memory of all our brave servicemen and woman.
Lest we forget.”

Thank you to the Haywood family for sharing their Plant Pot Tommy in the perfect resting place.

IN HONOUR OF WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY

Saturday 10th October 2020

Here at RBLI we have 100 years of supporting veterans with mental health challenges, such as PTSD.

Friends of RBLI Paul Sapsford and Tim Brown have raised money and awareness of PTSD, a challenge faced by so many, with their velcro patches. Paul’s world was turned upside down when he came into contact with live wires in 2005. He only survived thanks to a quick-thinking apprentice who knocked him off his ladder.

Struggling to come to terms with the experience, Paul found himself out of work before eventually being diagnosed with PTSD. The pair have since raised nearly £40,000 selling these patches for our charity.
