Scarce WWII British War Relief Society (BWRS) Youth Division Member Badge

This is a scarce World War II British War Relief Society (BWRS) youth division member badge. In 1941, the umbrella organization BWRS was created to coordinate the efforts of the many grassroots groups in the United States already in existence providing aid for the British people. The nicely enameled badge reads YOUNG AMERICA WANTS TO HELP and shows an impressive gold eagle in relief against red and white stripes. The reverse reads DIVISION OF THE BRITISH WAR RELIEF SOCIETY INC.

Circa World War II.

About 1-5/16" in height and 1-1/16" in width.
