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 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 tin 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.

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.

Beautiful rosary

I was really impressed with the battle beads rosary. It is top of the line quality and the medals and crucifix are made in Italy (awesome). I carry it every day and I really this this rosary will last me a lifetime.

Makes a beautiful gift

I bought four Battle Bead rosaries for our parish's four RCIA catechumens. I already have my own so I know that they are beautiful and will last forever. I can't wait to present these rosaries to our catechumens when I do the teaching on Prayer.

Great Rosaries

I’ve now order two rugged rosaries, I absolutely love them both!

Excellent

Beautiful rosary! one of the tin containers was damaged and a new one was sent out right away.

Beautiful rosary

I have purchased several wonderful and inspiring rosaries from Rugged Rosary. The service is fast and informative. I even made a mistake in ordering one rosary and my mistake was almost instantly corrected. I have just ordered another bracelet because when playing with my excited pointer, she caught my bracelet and broke the band. I decided to try another type that is adjustable. I'm sure that my dog and I can play together without a worry because this new one is made with the parachute corded knots. The other rosaries I have bought are all so magnificent and attractive that they call to me to pray the rosary to our Blessed Virgin Mary. The medallions are finely crafted as well and add to prayer. Thank you for the kind and blessed service. Rugged Rosary is the most prestigious organization to work with. John Roberts.

My first purchase was two corded rosaries, but after working with customer service was able to return them for WW1 rosaries. As soon as I saw them, I was thrilled. My rosary is a very important part of my life. I don't want it to be gaudy or unnecessarily ornate. I want it to be functional, but designed in a way it becomes a part of the attraction of praying the rosary. I of course forget all about the rosary itself during prayer, but prior to (and maybe it's the tin case, or the design) it draws me to reflection. The WW1 rosaries are simply perfect. So, after the initial poor experience, which was followed by a great experience thanks to customer service, I purchased a 4th and 5th WW1 rosary for my two daughters. Our family of 5 all pray the rosary using our Rugged Rosaries - WW1.

Absolutely love it!

My one and only gripe is I would like the overall necklace part to be a bit longer. I don't wear my rosarie around my neck. I like to wear it around my hand and wrist. The length makes it hard to do that.
