Royal British Legion Badges
The Ordinary Member Badge (1921-2005) of the Royal British Legion has evolved in the 86 years since it's
founding of the British Legion 1921. The British Legion became The Royal British
Legion in 1971, however it did not gain royal permission to add the Queen's
crown until early 1972. The current model thin lion head dates from around
1987.
From 2005 Legion now has a Single Membership, giving all members equal rights to
participate in Branch, County and National decision-making processes of the
organisation. All other badges such as Associate, have become obsolete and can
be considered as part of our history.
Various enamel badge manufacturers have had the honour of manufacturing the
different types of badge over the years.
