I am sure that I don't have to remind you but this year,2014, sees the 70th Anniversary of the Normandy Landings. Does it seem like 70th Years ago since our brave Veteran Members, Played a Vital Part in the beginning of the end of WWII? 

There are many activities planned both here  in England and also in Normandy,

Particularly in June 2014.

 Apart from 70th Anniversary events, this year the NVA as a National Association 

Will wound up and the National Standard laid up at St. Margaret's Church, Westminster London.
