From Ebay (again)
THIS IS A MODERN HEALTH CRUSADER K B PIN
K B IS FOR KNIGHT BANNERET

THIS ANTI TUBERCULOSIS GROUP WAS FORMED IN 1915 TO FIGHT TB

It seems there were a number of pins made in different styles for the National Tuberculosis Society and included some generic fronts and ones specially made for the Knights of the Round Table. They all seem to have the 1919 date on them. The NTS are the people who developed Christmas Seals as a means of raising money for their cause.
