Description:
A returned soldier's welfare organisation which assisted soldiers who had suffered the loss or use of a limb during active service. The association's main focus was to reintegrate disabled soldiers back into post - war society and to help them lead independent lives. This included helping members find employment and advocating equal rights for limbless soldiers. ;;This agency no longer exists and an exact end date could not be established. An approximate closing date has therefore been added.
