Battles Through History are proud to announce the Pompey Pals as our chosen charity!
The Pompey Pals Charity was founded in December 2014 following the unveiling of the Pompey Pals Memorial Wall at Fratton Park home of Portsmouth Football Club on the 4th August, the centenary of the start of the First World War.
Why Fratton Park?, over the years Portsmouth Football Club has played a big part in the Military Heritage of the area, many of the players served in the military either before joining the Club or on leaving the military.
The original aim of the Charity was to remember the men who served in the 14th and 15th Battalions, Hampshire Regiment (1st and 2nd Portsmouth, the Pompey Pals).
However, the charity has now expanded its aims and now looks to honour and commemorate all citizens from Portsmouth and the surrounding area who have served in the armed forces, or, who lost their lives as a result of enemy action since 1914.
Each year, we aim to commemorate events that had a profound effect on the area.
We Will Remember Them
