The Descendant Certificate below is a sample based on an original Men of  L membership certificate issued to the soldiers of the Men of L after WWI.  The original Membership Certificate was blue in color (See example below).  On 23 November 1929 the gold color membership certificate was approved by the board of directors to replace the blue version.
