The National Association of Discharged Sailors and Soldiers (NADSS) was a British veterans' organisation.
Led by James Howell, it developed links with trade unions and the Labour Party.
[1] The association sponsored several candidates at the 1918 general election, forming part of what was termed the "Silver Badge Party".
Robert Hewitt Barker was elected in Sowerby,[2] having been endorsed by the local branch, but not by the executive, and acting essentially as an independent Conservative.
[3] In 1921, it merged with the Comrades group, the National Federation of Discharged and Demobilized Sailors and Soldiers and the Officers' Association to form the British Legion.
