TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 2022 AT 9:15 AM – 5 PM
In 2022 we mark the 40th anniversary of the end of the Falklands Conflict.
The Royal British Legion will be commemorating this important milestone with a special event held at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire on Tuesday 14th June. Falklands 40 will recognise the service of the 30,000 sailors, marines, soldiers, airmen and merchant mariners who served in the Falklands Conflict, along with the many civilians who supported the Task Force and remember the sacrifice of those 255 British personnel who lost their lives.

In the afternoon, there will be a commemorative event centred around the Armed Forces Memorial. This will feature veteran testimony from key points in the conflict as well as the Act of Remembrance.
On the morning of the event there will be an opportunity for unit associations to conduct intimate commemorations at their respective memorials within the Arboretum.
The RBL’s Falklands 40 is set to be a very special occasion, commemorating the conflict that ended 40 years ago.
Veterans of the Falklands Conflict, their families and participating civilian organisations are invited to attend the event of the 14th of June at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.
