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.
I bought this for my son in law for RCIA this year and was blown away by the quality and also how beautiful it is as well…. I’m already planning on ordering one of these for my husband. I will definitely continue shopping at Rugged Rosaries!
I love both of the rosaries. Gave as gifts for coming into the church. And my husband’s birthday.
The rosary is beautiful and well made.
I have two of their rosaries for myself and have purchased three more as gifts for people I have sponsored in RCIA/OCIA. They’re well made and don’t tangle. Love them!
Bought this rosary for my son's baptism on Easter Vigil. He loves it. Very good quality. Thank you!
This rosary is beautiful and the build is solid, I carry it in my pocket not having to worry about it breaking or coming apart. Best $40 I’ve ever spent!
Very pleased with the product. It is a sturdy rosary which I expect to last me a long time. Thank you.
I bought this for a 14 yr old boy I’m sponsoring for confirmation. I have purchased from RR in the past and every single item has been fantastic. Not only are they beautiful but the quality is unmatched. This particular rosary is so unique with its patina finish. The young man who is getting it loves history and the outdoors. I feel like he will appreciate the historical nature of it as well as the fact that he can take it with him anywhere and not worry about it breaking.
