Does anyone know of any other war charity created during the war that has a continuous existence with more or less the same title and/or mandate for any country?

I would include the Royal British Legion but I see that it was formed in 1921 from a merger of 4 different charities so does not quite fit your remit.

Also here in Canada, The War Amps ( The War Amputations of Canada) began in 1918 and has continued it mandate, as well as expanding to also include  all Canadian amputees, including children.
