== History ==
In the immediate aftermath of the First World War, the limbless gathered together in groups determined if society would not help them, they would help themselves.
The first such group gathered in Glasgow in the early 1920s, creating the first branch of the Limbless Ex-Service Men’s Association. This was closely followed by branches being formed in Edinburgh, Dundee, Hamilton and Aberdeen. Officers of the Scottish LESMA established contacts with limbless ex-Servicemen in the North of England in the late 1920s. A branch was formed in Manchester in 1929 and about the same time branches were formed in Leeds, Hull, Burnley, Accrington, Southport, Oldham, Bradford, Halifax and Wigan.
The English branches however, soon became dissatisfied with the Scottish control and asked for a proper Constitution and Rules to provide for the democratic election of Officers and members of an Executive Council. The English branches convened at a Round Table meeting in Leeds in 1931 where it was decided to form the British Limbless Ex-Servicemen’s Association, with the first Annual Conference being held in Manchester in 1932.
