About Us
The Returned & Services League of Australia (RSL) was founded in 1916 by returning Australian soldiers from World War I to continue to provide the camaraderie, concern, and mateship shown among diggers during the conflict.
Early in the 1914-1918 Great War, it was evident that those returning from Gallipoli and the Western Front would require support, along with the families of those who would never return; this ethos of compassion and service remains today as the motivating influence of the League.
Our purpose is to help veterans and their families by offering care, financial assistance and advocacy, along with commemorative services that help all Australians remember the Fallen.

Legion Scotland THE ROYAL BRITISH LEGION SCOTLAND DOES AUSTRALIA
The Royal British Legion Scotland Wick, Canisbay and Latheron Branch is busy preparing for a trip of a lifetime for 15 veterans. They will visit Australia in April; the busy program will include participation in the annual ANZAC Day Commemoration in New South Wales, a trip to the Australian Senate and National Memorial and a day in Sydney. Our thanks go to the Returned Services League of Australia who is committed to making the trip very special. http://rslnational.org/
The branch is looking at diverse ways of funding the trip.
https://www.gofundme.com/anzac-parade-australia-2018
Below on the right is Branch Chairman Captain Richard Otley, very much the instigator behind the trip and on the left branch member Murray Lamont, a huge supporter of the branches annual activity who also hosted a Burns Night in his hotel to raise funds.
Thanks also go to Malcolm Waring at Old Pulteney for donating the prize for the lucky square below.
