About us
Legasee provides military enthusiasts, students and teachers with unique access to a hi-definition video archive of interviews with veterans of military conflict from 1939 to the present day.
Our ambition is to capture as many of these personal recollections, so that their legacy of bravery, sacrifice and suffering can live on. Meet them in our archive.
Current campaigns
Legasee have many WWII veterans waiting to be filmed. Each of them played a part in giving us the freedoms we now take for granted. To ensure their memories live on, we need your help.
We need your support
Legasee is an independent charity funded entirely through donations and the creation of innovative, educational projects.
To keep our production costs to a minimum we rely heavily on the hard work and good will of our team of volunteers who help across a wide range of production, administrative and fundraising duties. Would you like to help us?
Nominate a veteran
Veterans are the lifeblood of our organisation. Individually they can share incredible stories of bravery, sacrifice and suffering.
Collectively they are a priceless record of 20th Century military history. Do you know a veteran who might want to share their memories of war or conflict? We'd like to hear about them.
