National Armed Forces Memorial Appeal
The Armed Forces Memorial Appeal's task is to provide a National Monument of beauty, meaning and substance, to act as a lasting Memorial to the men and women of the United Kingdom Armed Forces who have lost their lives while on duty or as a result of terrorism since the Second World War.
It is widely accepted that there is insufficient recognition of the men and women of our Armed Forces who have given their lives in the service of their country since the end of the Second World War.
Following a period of extensive consultation with the Services and ex-Services community it was concluded that a new national memorial should be constructed – to be known as the Armed Forces Memorial.
The Armed Forces Memorial will not be a traditional ‘war memorial’ that only remembers those killed in conflict. It will also recognise the many servicemen and women who have given their lives while on duty and those killed by terrorist action.
The Memorial will also help to raise awareness of the invaluable contribution made by the Armed Forces throughout the world. The Memorial will be located at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire where there are already a number of Service-related memorials.
