Former Prime Minister Tony Blair is to donate the profits from his memoirs 'The Journey' to a sports centre for injured soldiers.
A spokesman said Mr Blair would hand over the £4.6 m advance plus all royalties to honour "their courage and sacrifice".
The book will be published on the 1st September and the money is believed to be the biggest single donation ever received by the Legion, and will go towards the £25m Battle Back Challenge Centre, due to open in summer 2012.
Like millions of others in the UK, I could see through my country's flimsy excuses in going to war. My deepest sympathies to the families of the fallen.
