Hi Mike
Many, many thanks for your info as supplied. I was certain that I had another named BL gold badge (other than the previously posted photo of the "big 'un" )but couldn't put my hand on it when we first started our exchanges. I think that it was an early eBay acquisition quite a few years back. |

I'm still hunting for the 2017/2018/2019 Women's Section Conference pins , I don't know if they produced one in 2020 but have just discovered they brought out a Centenary pin in 2021 !
Have contacted them to see if they are still available. .

A kind lady in the Women's Section not only got me a 2021 pin but also asked around other members and found a 2017 pin plus a 2020 one for me !
Only got two left to find , 2018 & 2019 , and she is trying to find them for me. For her time , effort and generosity all she asked for was that I make a donation . .

Women's Section Badges
Four organisations were involved in the "founding" of the British Legion but I was not aware until now that the "Women's Section of the Comrades of the Great War" were instrumental in the forming of the "Women's Section of the British Legion"
A booklet produced by the WS last year states that they : Quote:
I have a "Women's Section of the Comrades of the Great War" badge which they would have worn and a "British Legion Women's Section badge" (Regd. Design number from 1922) but was there another badge inbetween ? There is a "Women's Auxilliary - Comrades of the Great War" badge (which I don't have ) but don't know if this was a completely different group or a very short term (less than 1 year) badge to fill the gap. Any opinions/suggestions welcome ! .

Women's Section Conference Pins
Finally got hold of the two pins (2018 & 2019) from my wanted list !
Great but I realised that I don't have the latest ones . 2022 - Was there a Conference during covid and did they have a pin ? 2023- Conference at Torquay . 2024 - Conference will be at Newport, Wales on 10th-12th May . If anybody sees or can get hold of these pins please let me know. Thank you .

Nice to see you posting! How are things? I got my Comrades/ Women's Auxiliary from South Africa via eBay a long time ago. As a large badge, the very few I've seen are often chipped. |
