 Comrades of The Great War Badge Exhibition

  Comrades of The Great War  
  Comrades of the Great War Membership CardThe Comrades of The Great War were formed in 1917 as a non-political association to represent the rights of ex-service men and women who had served or had been discharged from service during The Great War 1914-1918. Comrades of The Great War is  was one of the original four ex-service associations that amalgamated on Sunday 15 May 1921 to form The British Legion.

The Comrades of The Great War exhibition is
an interesting collection of one of the more organised ex-service associations which the casual observer of the Legion History could almost see our own organisation based upon the badges in this exhibition.

Once again this online museum thanks Mrs Tracy Fowler for her generosity in allowing this collection of
Comrades of The Great War badges to be displayed to a wider audience.
