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!
These rosaries are quite strong, do not tangle, are small and portable, and very easy to carry in your pocket. The chains are brass with silver patina which do not rust, and have a nice weighty 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 box 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.

I order two items. The full rosary and the wrist rosary. They are great and just what i need it. The WWI Knight of Columbus is a beautiful rosary, big enough to hold in my hands. The wrist rosary is perfect, as it expands in my large wrist and is ready to use...
I am thrilled to be the owner of this gorgeous Rosary, it feels really wonderful to handle as the Rosary is recited. I have always desired to own a 20 decade and now I have an absolutely GORGEOUS one.
Fantastic piece artfully done!!!
Well worth the money
Wow this necklace is beautiful!!
Very sturdy and shined. Gave it to the grandson of a WW1 veteran. He appreciated it. Thank you!
I have ordered 3 or 4 of the Gunmetal WWI Battle Beas Knights of Columbus rosaries and I love them. The latest one I ordered was for our Priest who just joined the Knights of Columbus and he was super excited to receive this from our council during the exemplification. Proud to be a Knight of Columbus and proud to Carry a Rugged Rosary in my pocket. If you are considering purchasing one.... do it!! You will not be disappointed.
Buy them for all my friends…
The same as the other reviews I have written, these are amazing for use, and the best gift one can give! God Bless and keep up the great work.
p.s. Wish you had the old metal containers!!
