COUNTESS MOUNTBATTEN'S OWN

The Rt. Hon. The Countess Mountbatten of Burma has graciously agreed that from 2002, the Legion of Frontiersmen of the Commonwealth shall be known as "Countess Mountbatten's Own". This celebrates her family connection with the Legion of Frontiersmen going back to her grandfather, Prince Louis of Battenberg, a Founder-member of the Legion.

Other organisations in various countries have adopted the title of "Legion of Frontiersmen" without ever having been part of the original Legion. They are not permitted to include the name of the Countess Mountbatten in their title. As some of these organisations have only an imaginative version of Legion history and their aims and activities are different from the original Legion, we do not offer links to their websites. We do, however, offer a link to the knowledgeable historian of Australian Division, with whom we have a cordial and co-operative relationship.

A new book The Dawn of the World Scout Movement by Colin Walker has recently been published. It is well illustrated and an entertaining read. It contains a chapter of the relationship between Baden-Powell, the Frontiersmen and the Boy Scout movement in 1908. Although on the firm evidence we hold, we would disagree with some of the conclusions of the author regarding the links between Baden-Powell and Roger Pocock, the Founder of the Legion of Frontiersmen, it is a book we can recommend. It is only readily available direct from the author at:
