AEF Comrades in Service WWI Veterans Association Charm (folded into the American Legion) large since relatively few were producedNice little piece from a very short lived organization. This was folded into the American Legion practically before the boys even made it home. Comrades In Service was a WWI AEF veteran's group that was incorporated into American Legion soon after it was initially formed. It lasted less than a year in 1919. This is a nice, rare piece of history. It is in fairly good condition. There is some wear on the back. The loop has some blue ish tarnishing.
