The Royal British Legion is creating a DM pack to remember fallen World War I soldiers and raise donations for veterans. The pack will include letters, case studies, donation forms, and information on tribute events to honor those who lost their lives in the war. The goal is to personalize remembrance by naming individuals who were lost and linking their stories to the present day work of supporting veterans.
