Significance

The TPI Association was formed in 1926 and had become a national body by 1941 at about which time this bookmark is believed to date to. It was formed by a group of disabled veterans to provide welfare, advice and benefits. The association aimed to support veterans who had come home with a disability and those who needed further medical treatment or long periods of rehabilitation. By producing these bookmarks the association was, as with other activities, putting its name and work out into the public arena for support in its goals.
