This version of the WWI Battle Beads was inspired by Private Flora Sandes. She was the only British woman to serve in uniform, in combat, as an enlisted soldier in World War One. 
This compact all metal rosary is rugged, functional, yet beautiful. It has a meaningful history, as the style is a replica of the service combat rosaries issued by the government to soldiers, sailors, and flying aces during WWI. Now with slightly larger Our Father beads, the WWI Battle Beads rosaries are the closest replica available to the vintage antique service combat rosaries from 1916!
The Our Father beads are slightly larger to aid in meditative prayer. You can feel where you are as you move through prayers and at 21" long, they are wearable but still bunch up small enough to carry in your pocket.
Although the WWI Battle Beads Rosary is rugged enough to carry in your pocket, we do include a small round container for portability and storage.
As with all Rugged Rosaries, you may add optional medals. We recommend only adding up to 4. Some of our photos show an optional medal attached.

Thank you for shopping and God Bless.
Sorry but the items I ordered have not received due to our postal service on strike
Received my Rosary and I could not be happier. A beautiful piece. Sturdy, strong. Went to mass and got the Rosary blessed after. The Monsignor asked where I got it. He couldn't get over how it looked and felt. I sent him the link to the website. I'm sure he ordered.
This is a great Rosary! Decent price and very stury. Looks like it will hold up well in a pocket all day. It is heavvier than I expected, but I really like the weight. I love the crucifix as well as the Latin inscription on the Miraculous Medal.
Me gusto mucho el aspecto que son rosarios clásicos de la Primera Guerra Mundial.
El color del aspecto de cobre antiguo es muy bueno y lleva a la devoción
I got this as a gift for a family member. I know he will appreciate it.I was blown away with the quality and am so happy with my purchase. Praise God!
It's like I'm carrying a work of art. Keep up the great work!
It's a beautiful Rosary.
The battle beads stayed with me before the surgery and after. My surgery was the day before thanksgiving.
Had to wait for the pathology report. Everything came out clean. Thank you Jesus.and your precious Mother.
I purchased three for my closest people to me. I know they will love them as much as I do🙏❤️
