Marking the centenary of the Poppy Appeal, Roy Jenkins looks at the legacy of conflict.

Roy Jenkins examines the legacy of conflict; meeting veterans who have suffered Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and finding out about the organisations supporting them.

This year the Royal British Legion marks the centenary of its Poppy Appeal, the national campaign to support those who have served in the armed forces. Roy Jenkins explores the legacy of conflict on those who serve, and hears from the organisations in Wales offering support. 

Martyn Gough, former Chaplain of the Fleet and Archdeacon of the Royal Navy, discusses the significance of the Remembrance Day service and recalls a particularly moving service held at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan. Martyn is currently the National Chaplain to the British Legion, and explains why he believes a century after its foundation the Poppy Appeal still retains its significance.

Alabaré Christian Care and Support is a national charity offering support to ex-service personnel. It offers accommodation from Colwyn Bay to Cardiff for homeless veterans. We hear from their Boots on the Ground project improving wellbeing through outdoor adventure. Each health board in Wales offers an NHS Wales Veterans’ Service for those experiencing PTSD. We hear from their clinical lead, and speak to veteran Martin Thorp, MBE about his experiences of this condition.
