WIN THE WAR LEAGUE
I SERVE
S.T.L
The Win the War League was established during the First World War by the Women’s State Recruiting Committee in
Adelaide, South Australia. On April 27 1917 members staged a ‘Win the War Day‘ which involved a procession through the streets of Adelaide
by the wives, daughters and sisters of Australian soldiers. Badges were also sold to raise funds and people wishing to join the league were
asked to sign a pledge: ‘I pledge myself to do all in my power to win the war, and to wear the Badge until the end of the
war.’ | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | AU.O Win the War League empire / commonwealth WW1 Australian Home Front recruiting | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
