Cadbury launches Dairy Milk Remembrance Bar to commemorate World War I
Cadbury is marking 100 years since the end of the First World War with a limited edition bar of Dairy Milk.
The Cadbury Dairy Milk Remembrance Bar comes in partnership with the Royal British Legion.
Just as it did 100 years ago, Cadbury is playing its part in supporting those who have been affected by war.
The 360g bar features the same wrapper design that Cadbury sold during the war – except its adorned with poppies.
From every bar sold, Cadbury will be donating 30p to the Legion, supporting the British Armed Forces, veterans and their families.
In addition to this, Cadbury is also supporting the Legion through a year-round calendar of fundraising events and activities, as well as its Thank You movement.
The campaign aims to thank all who served, sacrificed and changed our world during the First World War.
Cadbury will be sharing the remarkable stories of the First World War generation who shaped the world we live in today – including those of the Cadbury workforce who supported the war effort on the battlefield and the home front.

This included the Cadbury Angels, women who took up roles within the business during war time and sent almost 30,000 care packages to men serving on the front line.
While more than 2,000 Cadbury employees joined the armed forces, many others provided critical care for injured soldiers through the Friends Ambulance Unit, established by Laurence Cadbury.
Many of the wounded were brought back to Bournville where Cadbury properties were converted to hospitals.
Beth Cameron, Brand Manager, Cadbury said: Through our Remembrance Bar and partnership with the Royal British Legion, we are saying Thank You to all who served, sacrificed, and changed our world during the First World War.
The remarkable stories of the Cadbury workforce 100 years ago have shaped the business we are today and are particularly important for us to remember at the centenary of the end of WWI.
Catherine Davies, Head of Remembrance at the Royal British Legion added: It is right and fitting that Cadbury is a Thank You partner given its proud history dating back to the First World War.
