This compact all-metal rosary is rugged, functional, and portable. It has a meaningful history, as it is a replica of the service combat rosaries issued by the government to soldiers, sailors, and flying aces during WWI. Now with a new beautiful upgraded quality Pardon Crucifix, the WWI Battle Beads rosaries are the closest replica available to the vintage antique service combat rosaries from 1916!
These rosaries are quite strong, do not tangle, are small and portable, and very easy to carry in your pocket. The nickel-free Silver finished brass chains are no-rust, no-tangle, and have a great weight and feel.
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 presentation 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.

The Pardon Crucifix grants indulgences. For more information about the Pardon Crucifix, you can download a printable .pdf file about it by clicking HERE.
Thank you for shopping and God Bless.
** Please note that the centerpiece medal is sometimes depicted in English, and sometimes in Latin, however, we only use the finest quality available from Italy. The different versions are due to availability and supply issues.
I bought this for my husband as a gift. It came quickly, was beautifully packaged, and is exactly the kind of thing he will appreciate. As a veteran himself and a former Texas native he will love the relevance and source of his rosary. Thank you!
As someone who has bought numerous rosaries from RR! I give them as gifts to help cope with the loss of loved one. It's powerful tool that is necessary in life. I can't express how well the rosaries are made. And how beautiful they are!! Their customer service is TOP TIER! Thank you for always taking care of your customers. You guys have done right for me at the times I've needed things rushed for funerals! Thank you Again!
Another great rosary. A good looking man's rosary and it won't break like so many with the metal chains do. This is a good investment.
I purchased the Chaplet of the Seven Sorrows of Mary Rosary. It is beautiful. I added the Sacred Heart of Jesus medal and both medals are nicely done and add to my devotion. The rosary is solid, made to last. Thank you!
It's beautiful and solid. I love it.
Very well made, looks very nice, the WWI historic tie- really in got my attention!
Ordered 3, for me and 2 as gifts. After using my Rosary, had to order more for gifts!
Now use them! Set up a Prayer Circle with friends and family, set a phone alarm for every night at 9PM, text the group 'Ready' and begin. If there is a special intention that might for someone who needs help - add that to the text.
Recommend Taylor Marshall's YouTube channel for Latin versions of the Rosary.
I want to thank you for the silver World War I rosary beads. I gifted them to Fr. Paul Hurley, a former Army military chaplain. Fr. Hurley is the Pastor at St. Bonaventure’s in Plymouth, Massachusetts. I was able to give them to Fr. Hurley prior to Veterans’ Day. Fr. Hurley is doing an awesome job making all his parishioners feel welcomed!
