Brussels Legion
Brussels Branch 218 of the Royal Canadian Legion formerly known as the British Empire
Service League was organized on August 31, 1931, and received its charter on November
2, 1931. Before the Branch received its charter, members travelled many miles to Branch
134 in Mount Forest every month. After the Branch was formed, meetings were held In
member's homes and In the town hall. Members dwindled to 13 before World War II.
However the Branch held together until younger members returned home from the war.
Every member who returned home from the war was presented with a billfold by Moe
Wineberg. The first President of Brussels Branch 218 was Fred Birchall, 1931. He was
followed by William Stiles, 1933, Ross Knight, 1938 and Joe Kelly, 1940.
