The British Red Army at Leytonstone

Commandant J. Snooks, who served during the First World War as a Lieutenant, and Mrs. Campbell, the Commandant of the Women's Section. The force was formed from the Labour League of ex-Servicemen, known as the L.L.Ex. Their uniform was reminiscent of the Russian Red army uniform complete with a Soviet badge and a device of hammer and sickle. Pictured at Leytonstone in east London, possibly on Wanstead Flats, where a demonstration took place in April 1928
