Thanks Michael !
My "Pilgrimage" collection is growing :
1928 : "Great Pilgrimage" - Still looking for "Party H Irish Free State" badge and a "Womens Section" (the largest group) badge.
1929 : I have a "British Legion South Western Area" Battlefields pilgrimage badge.
1930 : I have an itinery for the "Home Counties Battlefields Tour Ypres" and a "booklet" of "1914-1918 British War Cemeteries Ypres" photographs.
1938 : Not a pilgrimage but a set of British Legion Volunteer Police Force cap and collar badges with photos/news clippings of the Major they belonged to.
1939 : Paris - I have two badges (Parties 'C' and 'O/S') and a set of "invitation" tickets to various events that were laid on.
I also have British Legion and Royal British Legion 'WG' (war graves) badges , a "Pilgrimage Club" badge , a modern 'RBL Pilgrimages' pin and a Great Pilgrimage 80 badge.
I never set out to collect these items but got hooked and am happy that I did as they are a great insight into the past but also an on-going project as .....
"We Will Remember Them"
