Welcome to China Post
No. 1, one of the oldest American Legion Posts in the World.
It is the only Post operating in exile in the American
Legion, as well as, the only Post nominally headquartered in
a Communist country.
The Post was formed in 1919, one year after
the "great war," and chartered by the American Legion on 20
April 1920. The first and only American Legion Post in China
at that time, the original name was General Frederick
Townsend Ward Post No. 1, China.

MORE Photos from Reunion
China Post #1 was formed in Shanghai, China in 1919 and went into exile in 1938 when Japanese forces overran Shanghai preceding the official entry of the United States into WW II. The Post was forced into exile when Communist forces took control of Shanghai in 1948 and confiscated the Post Home, "The American Club" and its property. We are the Soldiers of Fortune Operating in Exile - Worldwide.
