On the 4 November 2010 four teams of serving and ex-serving
individuals from each of Her Majesty's Armed Forces will begin an
epic 'March For Honour'. Starting in four separate locations
across the UK, the teams will dedicate and speed-march a mile for
every British military life lost on operations in Iraq and
Afghanistan since 2001. Wearing military uniform, each team
will march an average of around 30 miles a day and a total
distance of up to 250 miles, carrying forty pounds of
equipment.
The teams will unite along the route before marching into London
on 11 November to deliver the Book of Remembrance to the Royal
Albert Hall for The Royal British Legion's National Festival
of Remembrance. Their target is to raise £1 million for The
Royal British Legion who work so hard to support the welfare,
interests and memories of serving and ex-serving forces, and
their families.
