 The
Royal British Legion Badge
The Legion now has
a Single Membership, giving all members equal
rights to participate in Branch, County and
National decision-making processes of the
organisation. All other badges such as
Associate, have become
obsolete and can be considered as part of our
history.
On the following pages are
examples of The Royal British
Legion, British
Legion, and Women's Section
Lapel Badges. Amongst the collection here the
reader will find two prime examples of one of The
Legion's highest awards that can bestowed upon a
member 'The Royal British Legion Badge in Gold' [Link
to Award Criteria Page] and the
 National
Certificate of Appreciation Badge.
National Certificate of Appreciation Badge
This badge
identifies the member as having been awarded the
National
Certificate of Appreciation which is The
Legion's highest award.
The Legion badge is a registered design and
neither the badge nor the corporate (as used on
this web page) logo may be used outside the
organisation without permission.
