There is no way that poster is from June 1916, as it says right in the image, "1914-1918 Never Again", signifying 1918 as the end of the war.--dannycas (talk) 01:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They took out an advert in The Times 24 June 1920 page 6 - list of notable members etc. Jackiespeel (talk) 18:30, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Unsourced"[edit]

This almost entirely unreferenced article definitely needs references to a few good sources. Until at least some work on this task is done however, to single one line out of many as "unsourced" is not really sustainable. On those grounds the whole article would have to go - a shame, as no one is disputing the organisation existed. In the meantime, on the face of it, one unsourced but fairly probable "fact" is no more unsourced than any other. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 21:44, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have cleaned the article up and it now includes only sourced text.--Britannicus (talk) 22:39, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent! A much better (and surely far more satisfying) way of improving a poor article. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 20:38, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Were there two British Commonwealth Unions or not?[edit]

The relationship (or lack thereof) of the post-1960 British Commonwealth Union to the British Commonwealth Union is the subject of another article could stand to be clarified in both articles! Both organizations are said in their respective articles to have been founded in 1916, which seems a bit suspicious. Gambaguru (talk) 17:59, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

At a quick glance - this is either the same organisation, and the articles should be merged - or the details given about being founded in 1916 etc. are incorrect, and the result of confusion with this one. Anyone got the time and motivation to do the research to be sure one way or the other? --Soundofmusicals (talk) 16:03, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What was this group's position on the Nazis and WWII?[edit]

Did it's anti German beginnings have it be one of the groups that wanted another War over Hitler's defiance of the Versailles tray before it was overwhelmingly popular? I tried googling this but couldn't find any info even though it did exist during that period.--JaredMithrandir (talk) 11:29, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
