The Royal Canadian Legion originated with the formation of the Great War Veterans Association (G.W.V.A) in April 1917 and, by 1919, had become the largest organization representing the interests and welfare of returning servicemen and women. Issued in 1926, the Regina Branch is known as Branch No. 1. It resides at 1820 Cornwall Street and is the first branch of the Royal Canadian Legion to receive a charter.
