Since the end of the Second World War in 1945, every single year has seen the deaths of and injuries to British Servicemen and/or Servicewomen in action or on active service.

This page is a simple tribute to those who put themselves in harm's way so that we might continue to enjoy the freedoms we so easily take for granted.

Men and Women of the British Armed Forces and Merchant Marine,
ABS Embroidery salutes you.
