Remembering the Iraq War – 15 Years On

In May, the Royal British Legion will remember the 15th anniversary of the end of the War in Iraq and honour the extraordinary service and sacrifice of the British Armed Forces in the Coalition.
 
RBL are hosting a daytime commemorative event here at the National Memorial Arboretum on the 15th anniversary of the end of Operation TELIC, remembering the lives lost and those affected and pay tribute to the professionalism and dedication of the men and women who served, from the initial invasion to the crucial rebuilding of Iraqi institutions and infrastructure.
 
The Arboretum will be open to the public on Friday 22 May, but some areas may be restricted. Whilst access to the commemorative event is by ticket only, the event will be live transmitted to a large screen situated elsewhere in the Arboretum grounds.
 
We recommend members of the public book parking in advance to guarantee entry into the Arboretum on the day.
