Through Their Eyes: 80 Years On

Gallery Three | 3 May - 16 November | Free

Through Their Eyes: 80 Years On, produced by the Royal British Legion, uses powerful stories and portraits to honour the service, sacrifice, lives and legacy of those who served during the Second World War.

The National Memorial Arboretum is part of the Royal British Legion - the UK’s largest charity solely dedicated to supporting the needs of the Armed Forces community, past and present, and their families. As the leading champion of Remembrance, we believe it is crucial to remember the service and sacrifices of those who served in the Second World War so that they are always remembered.
