About Us

Norwich and District was the third national branch of the Normandy Veterans Association to be formed and has been going since 1981. We are part of the National Association that was the idea of Arthur Foldman. More information about Arthur can be found on our NVA History page

Since its formation we have enjoyed the camaraderie and support of numerous people and organisations.

As a Branch we enjoy monthly social meetings at The British Legion on Aylsham Road Norwich. These are held on 2nd Wednesday of the month between 11.30am -1pm.

Our committee plan and organise trips to events throughout the year and those who are willing and able collect during summer months to offset some of the expenses.

However, in this modern age of technology, we are eager to encourage the younger generation to learn about the efforts given by those involved with the Normandy campaign. Many children have grandparents who were involved and we are keen to express “that there is no glory in war”. Our Schools initiative is an example of our efforts in this.

If you would like to know more or would like to join us please contact our secretary Jack Woods.
