Abstract

The Returned Sailors 'Soldiers' and Airmen's Imperial League of Australia , commonly known by its official short titles as the Returned Servicemen ' s League , or R.S. L. , has been an active pressure group since its establishment in 1916 . The organization has performed other functions as well , providing social amenities f or its members and administering welfare with regard to ex- servicemen and their dependants. However , the main reason for the formation of an Australia- wide body by separate state-based associations lay in a desire t o improve the means by which political pressure could be exerted. This has remained the main justificiation for having a federal organization .
