The Barbados Legion is urging Barbadians to continue supporting veterans who have served the country, saying many still depend on the organisation for financial, medical and other assistance.

The appeal was made during the Legion’s 69th anniversary church service at Bethel Methodist Church.

Chairman of the Barbados Legion, Lieutenant Colonel Atheline Branch, said that while there are no longer any First or Second World War veterans alive in Barbados, the organisation continues to provide assistance to their families.
