Our New Patron

A message from The Chairman

Brigadier James Stopford CBE

It is with great pleasure that I confirm that HRH The Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh KG KT GCVO, very graciously agreed to be The Gallipoli Association’s Patron on 24 April 2024.

His Royal Highness has shown a detailed interest in the campaign, and the work of the Association.  We are thrilled that he has become our Patron, a role previously filled by his Father, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh KG KT from 1982 to 2021.

His Patronage will inspire us to do more to achieve the objectives of the Association and we look forward to welcoming our Patron to future events.
