In the charity's own words
We maintain a collection of military memorabilia. We stage exhibitions, hold meetings and arrange visits to educate the public in the wartime heritage of our country. We support military and other charities. We remember that the peace most of us enjoy today came at a price: it had to be fought for. We do this in the hope that the lessons of the past will help to secure peace for the future.
