The BESL was an auxiliary service during the SWW. They provided entertainment and other services for the armed forces. The British Empire Service League was a veterans organization that worked in co-operation with the Knights of Columbus, the Salvation Army and the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA). The duties were split between the four organizations, and one of them did provide canteen type services. The BESL eventually became the Royal Canadian Legion. Exactly what it is the artifact?
