Who we are
The Post
The St Petersburg Post 144 Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League was founded in 1941with the late Sir Charles and Lady Ross as patrons.
Members of the Post represented many branches of the United States and British Empire Forces and had participated in almost all colonial operations from the time of the Boar War. At that time many members held decorations from both the United States and the British Empire such as:
8 Mons Star 1914-1915
French Legion of Honor
Royal Order of the Serbian White Eagle
Distinguished Flying Crosses (3 Briitish 2 American)
Military Cross (British)
2 Distinguished Conduct Medals(British)
2 Military Medals (British)
Croix de Guerre
The name British Empire Services League was changed in 1958 to the British Commonwealth Ex-Services League (BCEL) and today is a union of some 54 ex-service groups from 48 Commonwealth countries representing around 12 million ex-servicemen and ex-servicewomen. The Royal Canadian Legion is a member of the BCEL.
In 1970 the Post became the Royal Canadian Legion Post 144 Pinellas County.
