Welcome to The Legion of Frontiersmen GB
The Legion of Frontiersmen in Great Britain is an organisation of Civil Defence volunteers, many of whom have previously served in the Armed Forces, Police and Emergency Services. Others are drawn from the Civil Service and Local Authorities. Together we strive to maintain the Legion's proud tradition of duty and service to Crown and Country in defence of freedom and our way of life.
In addition to training in a variety of Civil Defence activities and skills, the Legion offers its members a range of exciting opportunities for voluntary work in the community, ranging from raising money for military charities and the repair and restoration of war memorials to providing ceremonial guards-of-honour for civic ceremonies.
The Legion of Frontiersmen GB is affiliated to the Civil Defence Association (CDA) and is part of the international Frontiersmen network, The Legion of Frontiersmen - Independent Overseas Command (IOC).
