What can the WW2LHA do for you?

There are two ways of joining the WW2LHA.

You can apply to join one of the existing groups within the WW2LHA.

Close links with veterans associations.

Chance to help ex-service men and women through our annual charitable donations

Joining as a Group.
Normally to join as a group, we require you to have 10 members, however we can waive this rule in some cases such as:
Where a rear line unit is represented and it's specialist nature makes it difficult to recruit
Where a female unit is to represented
This is not a definitive list and each application is taken on it's merits and on a case by case basis.

Groups will have to agree to abide by the WW2 LHA's operating rules and regulations, copies of which can be supplied on request. We also expect groups to have a good overall appearance with regards to uniform and equipment.
Once the group has been approved for membership, then the 'unit commander' may take the rank appropriate to his role. They may also have a representative on the committee and vote at the AGM.

For those groups that attend regularly and contribute a good effort towards the Association's living history display at events, the
committee may award an annual financial bursary which can be spent as the group sees fit. In 2006 this was set at �500.

If you have any queries about joining, either as a group or an individual, please email us.
