What is the Royal Commonwealth Ex-Services League?
The Royal Commonwealth Ex-Services League was founded in 1921 by Field Marshal Earl Haig and General Smuts. The inaugural Conference in Capetown was attended by seven founder members from ex-service associations of the 'Old Commonwealth' countries.
The League's aim, as defined then is to: "ensure that no Commonwealth ex-serviceman or woman is without help if in need."
This aim remains the main purpose of the League today.
