T he Yoxford branch was formed just after the First World War in 1928, during the thirties numerous cups were won for its work in the Village.

Membership peaked during the Forties and Fifties as a result of the two World Wars and National Service and at this time there were some 150 members mostly war veterans, some ex National Servicemen.

Much valuable welfare work was carried out and on the social side there were monthly dances and an annual Christmas party for the children of members.

In recent years with the passing of time membership has declined so that at present there are twenty members and the Yoxford branch is now a sub branch of Saxmundham.

The Branch Standard is still paraded annually at The Remembrance Service and at group rallies also at member’s funerals.

Representatives attend the monthly meetings at Saxmundham and the quarterly F. Group meeting at Leiston

New members are always welcome; it is not a requirement to have been a member of the armed forces. If you are interested please contact one of the above officers.
