Our history

In the early months of 1916, the 11th Battalion Association was founded to bring together returning veterans and address the absence of organised repatriation facilities and medical services for those returning from service in the First World War. By May of the same year, interstate organisations collaborated to create ‘Return Sailors and Soldiers Imperial League of Australia’. Expanding its reach to encompass all 3rd Infantry Brigade members in Western Australia, it officially became the ‘Returned Soldiers' Association’ in May 1916.
