BTPF Anglia led the way to creating a memorial for the railway industry at the National Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas, Staffordshire:

 On Sunday 25th April 2004, the Anglia Branch planted a tree at the National Memorial Arboretum to mark the lives of those who worked for British Rail or Shipping and who lived or worked in East Anglia.  "Our Tree" is a field maple with a commemorative plaque.  Twenty three members attended the Service at the NMA Chapel, at which a two-minute silence was observed, accompanied by the Last Post and Reveille.  There was then a guided tour of the site - 60 plots with 40,000 trees - a peaceful and beautiful memorial of the 20th Century with many emotional connotations, including Ack Ack and ATS, the Merchant Navy Convoy, the Burma Railway and "Shot at Dawn" statue.
