The Legacy Centenary Torch Relay arrives in Canberra on Monday to celebrate 100 years of the revered Australian charity.
Legacy Australia was founded in 1923 to help veterans' families carry on with their lives after the loss or injury of their loved one.
The torch relay started in Pozieres, France in the lead-up to this year's Anzac Day and will finish in Melbourne on October 13.
The Canberra tour will begin at the Australian War Memorial at 10.30am on Monday, travelling almost 20km throughout the national capital.
The route will pass significant sites including the War Memorial, Parliament House and Duntroon before culminating at Government House with the lighting of the cauldron.
The Canberra relay, the longest in the campaign, will feature 51 torchbearers including Legacy beneficiaries, Legatees and Defence personnel.
Among them will be 103-year-old Navy veteran Merle Hare, who will be carrying the torch from Legacy House in Geils Court, Deakin at about 2.30pm on Monday.
