By "Founder Organisations" I mean:
1. The Comrades of the Great War.
2. The National Association of Discharged Sailors and Soldiers (Silver Badge Party).
3. The National Federation of Discharged and Demobilized Sailors and Soldiers.
4. The Officers' Association ( fundraising department ).
"The British Legion was found in 1921 as a voice for the ex-service community as a merger of three organisations: the Comrades of the Great War, the National Association of Discharged Sailors and Soldiers and the National Federation of Discharged and Demobilized Sailors and Soldiers, and incorporated the fundraising department of the Officers' Association."
I have a large and small 'Comrades' badge , plus a 'Women's Section' and 'Associate Member' one.
