The Royal Guernsey Light Infantry Trust

Honouring the legacy of the Royal Guernsey Light Infantry through remembrance, education, and cultural connections. Since 2016, the Trust has established lasting memorials and built strong communities within the Bailiwick and between the islands and Masnières.

 

Through community projects, student exchanges, and the creation of a dedicated education centre, we continue to share the values of  friendship, history, and global citizenship—thanks to the generous support of the public.
