National Order Of Trench Rats Badge Description

National Order of Trench Rats Badge

Honor Sacrifice. Celebrate Brotherhood. Preserve WWI Veterans Legacy.

This National Order of Trench Rats Badge is a premium collectible inspired by the fraternal organization founded in 1924 by disabled World War I veterans. Featuring the iconic rat emblem—symbolizing the resilience and dark humor of soldiers who endured the trenches of France—this badge pays tribute to those who served and the enduring spirit of the “Trench Rats” brotherhood .

The National Order of Trench Rats (NOTR) was conceived by disabled veterans recovering at the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital No. 54 in California. The name “Trench Rats” was adopted as a symbol of the rats which the World War I veterans encountered in the trenches in France . Recognized as an auxiliary of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) in 1924, the organization established local chapters known as “Dugouts” and has continued its mission of supporting hospitalized and disabled veterans, as well as their widows and orphans .
