World War 2 Goody Box
(Still working on the name …)
Purpose. As the 75th celebrations and commemorations of both VE & VJ Day have been denied from our veterans The Not Forgotten aims to send up to 5,000 goody boxes to those who served in the Royal Navy, Army, Royal Air Force and Merchant Navy during World War Two. The Goody Boxes should be ready during October 2020.
This is a gift without catches from the Not Forgotten. Having just celebrated our 100thanniversary The Not Forgotten wishes to do something special for all our WW2 veterans during the extended pandemic. The aim is to bring them a bit of cheer to and thank WW2 veterans for their service and the wonderful generation they represent.
Eligibility
Any veteran of the RN, Army, RAF and MN who served during WW2 (1939 – 1945) and who lives in the UK is eligible to receive the gift. This includes those who served in the Commonwealth Armed Forces in support of Britain’s war effort.
Recipient Information
In order to comply with DGPR regulations we will need the individual to send us the following information to register an interest in receiving a box:
- Full name – first name, surname and maiden name if appropriate
