About This Item

Here’s a little history from the “oldhippie” about a symbol from my youth. Pass it along.
The peace symbol has a convoluted and confusing history. It’s most notable appearance in modern times was its first use by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) at their Aldermaston march in 1956. Aldermaston is the headquarters of the UK’s Atomic Weapons Establishment. The CND meaning of the symbol is semaphore for ‘N’ (the two diagonal lines) and ‘D’ (the two vertical lines). About ten years later, the symbol was adopted as a general peace sign within the student anti-war movement. It became probably the single best known symbol of the youth culture of the sixties.

Came by Brussels on a business trip and took the Peace Symbol to visit the military museum. Seemed appropriate for the peace symbol to be there. Cache was too small to keep the bug so on it continues.
