Default Manx Legion

Picked up this "Manx Legion Club" badge but am confused about whether the club is actually connected to the Royal British Legion.

Their website says that the 'Branch' in Douglas was formed on 7th June 1918 and the club on 13th September 1918. So they appear to have started out , as many other associations , as a post WW1 veterans association.

Did they 'join' the British Legion in 1921 or were/are they a separate entity with their own "social club" ?

The club is still going today (as a limited company) but as the RBL has numerous branches on the Isle of Man is the "Manx Legion" a branch or simply a members club ?
