Description
Small circular button badge with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) logo, also known as the peace sign, in black and white segments. This badge was created for the Aldermaston march in 1963. Around the edge is text "Aldermaston 1963 Youth Against The Bomb." The Aldermaston marches, also known as the Easter marches, took place between 1958 and 1965, with the CND organising them from 1959. There were intermittent revivals of the original march from 1972 and 2004. Tens of thousands of people attended each year.
