British Legion Beret Badges
The
Standard Bearers Beret Badge
By 1952 nearly every British Legion branch
in the country had their own Branch Standard.
Annual County and Area Standard Bearers
competitions were held which of course lead on
to the First National Standard Bearers
Competition.
Which coincidentally, it was at that year's
annual conference that it was decided that all
British Legion Standard Bearers should wear
black berets with the Legion Badge.
This avoided when lowering the standard a then
rather complicated manoeuvre of having to remove
the bowler hat that all Standard Bearers wore.
The Club thanks Mrs Tracy Fowler and Mr
Jerry Murphy for making
this exhibition of Standard Bearers Beret Badges possible.
