The Little Common Branch of the Royal British Legion is very grateful to the new Bexhill-on-Sea Town Council for organising Remembrance Parades at Little Common on Remembrance Sunday, in 2023 it will be 12 November.

Ernie the Poppy Man (created by and named after Branch President Ernie Eldridge) welcomes you to the Little Common Branch of the Royal British Legion. He spends most of his time watching over the activities in the Club's Gillham Room, but ventures out from time to time for fundraising events around Bexhill.

The Branch Committee meets at 10.00am on the first Tuesday of the month at the Club in Meads Avenue, Little Common. 

If you would like to help with the 2023 Poppy Appeal, please visit our Poppy Appeal page, our Branch regularly raises around £5000 each year.

Membership of the Royal British Legion is open to everyone. If you have an interest in the objectives of the Legion and want to help and support for those who have served and their families, come and join us. We welcome men and women of all ages, whether they have served in the Armed Forces or not.

Legion membership ensures that

• Remembrance is kept alive and that the sacrifices our brave Service men and women have made are never forgotten.
• The ex-Service community have a voice and that their concerns are brought to the public eye.

Becoming a member also provides the opportunity to get involved in a wide range of activities and events held locally, regionally and nationally throughout the year.

About The Royal British Legion

The Royal British Legion is the UK's leading Armed Forces charity and one of its largest membership organisations. Members get together through the network of branches and clubs all over the country and overseas to participate in social, fundraising and welfare activities.

We provide financial, social and emotional care and support to all members of the British Armed Forces - past and present and their families. The Legion is also the national Custodian of Remembrance and safeguards the Military Covenant between the nation and its Armed Forces and is best known for the annual Poppy Appeal and its emblem the red poppy.

Founded in 1921, the Legion is not just about those who fought in the two World Wars of the last century, but also about those involved in the many conflicts since 1945 and those still fighting for the freedom we enjoy today.
