When I first saw this badge (in Jerry's album) I couldn't figure out the connection between Blackpool and Scotland.

Now all is revealed .

Only problem is that this is the Conference badge for 1998 and the first of the Conference lapel pin is 2000 , so was there a 1999 badge/pin ?

1999 was the 75th Anniversary of the RBLWS Scotland and they issued a pin.

May 1999 was also another 75th Anniverary:

"Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother today reviewed a Parade of Standards of the Royal British Legion Women's Section in the garden at Clarence House to mark the 75th Anniversary of Her Majesty's Presidency."

Was there a special/commemorative pin/badge for this rather than a Conference one ?
