Brian Sanders (B. 1937) "Girls' Brigade" Original
Brian Sanders (British, B. 1937) "Girls' Brigade" Original Watercolor painting on Paper.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This artwork originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the Great Britain Girls' Brigade stamp issued March 24, 1982.
As early as 1928, three of the United Kingdom's most prestigious girls' organizations, the Girls' Brigade, the Girls' Guildry, and the Girls' Life Brigade began talks aimed at consolidating all three groups into one youth service both international and interdenominational in scope. Finally, after thirty-six years of negotiations, a united body consisting of these groups was formed. On June 25, 1964, the Girls' Brigade, boasting a combined new membership of over 165,000 girls of all ages was created. The Girls' Brigade, a Christian organization, is designed to help girls attain physical, mental and spiritual maturity, and to encourage girls to express what they learn through practical service to home, community and church. Through the Girls' Brigade, a "Brigader" is given the opportunity to meet friends, to work and play together under trained leaders, to learn new skills, and to take part in exciting new activities such as camping holidays and service to the community. Moreover, for its leaders, the Girls' Brigade offers a wonderful opportunity of service to Christian women who are already a vital part of their local church, and who have a love for young people. As prescribed by the Brigade's constitution, the local church chooses and appoints each Girls' Brigade leader, and training and assistance is provided by the Brigade itself.
