The Royal British Legion Women's Section

The Royal British Legion Women's Section was a branch of The Royal British Legion dedicated to supporting women who served or supported service members, especially around wartime. It provided social connection, aid, and advocacy for female veterans and military families. Established during World War I, its goal was to ensure women’s contributions were recognized and to address their specific needs. The section helped foster camaraderie and promoted welfare initiatives, playing a vital role in supporting women’s involvement with the military community. Although the Women's Section was integrated into the broader Legion later on, it historically emphasized the importance of women’s roles in wartime service and support.
