content: This circular iron badge features a small photograph of a member of the Providence Veteran’s Association. The photo is surrounded by metal frame, likely oriented upside down. A hose encircles the photo, with a fire helmet at the top. A hook, ladder, trumpet, and axe are arrayed behind the photograph. Veteran associations were formed after the introduction of paid municipal fire companies to continue the fraternity and camaraderie that existed among volunteer firefighters.
