Corps of Commissionaires
Movement employing veterans in Commonwealth countries
The Corps of Commissionaires refers to a movement in Commonwealth countries of societies that provide meaningful employment for veterans of the armed services. The Commissionaires movement traces its roots to 1859, when retired army officer Captain Sir Edward Walter KCB organised eight injured veterans of the Crimean War and Indian Mutiny to act as nightwatchmen. At first limited to wounded men, it soon expanded to include all honourably discharged army and navy veterans.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
