Monet War Relief Pin, 1940’s Bundles for Britain Brooch

Rare Monet War Relief Pin from 1940. This Bundles for Britain Brooch is one of many lapel pins and brooches created to support the WWI war effort. During the early years, before America entered the war, Relief Societies sprang up across the country. Two of them being “Bundles for Britain” and “The British War Relief Society”. While the USA remained isolated from the troubles in Europe, these societies gathered food and clothing for the bomb-riddled cities of England.
