Eden Camp Modern History Museum

We were delighted to welcome Lizzy Tomlinson from the Army Benevolent Fund to Eden Camp over the weekend, where she was raising awareness of the vital support the charity provides to soldiers, veterans, and their families.

Pictured here with two of our own veterans who work at Eden Camp, Lizzy spent time speaking with visitors about the Army Benevolent Fund's important work and the difference it makes to those who have served.

A big thank you to Lizzy for joining us and for helping shine a light on the invaluable support available to the Army community.

VE Day commemorates the formal acceptance of Germany’s unconditional surrender in 1945, effectively ending World War II in Europe.
