What year was the Order of St John started?

The Order of St John is widely believed to have been started in the year 1080 in Jerusalem. This was during the First Crusade where St John members were known as the Knights Hospitallers (or Knights of St John). The Order of knights worked closely with the Knights Templar and provided assistance to injured soldiers and pilgrims during the Holy Wars. The Order of St John was later sanctioned by Her Majesty Queen Victoria and made a Royal Order of Chivalry with a Royal Charter. Even today, the Order of St John is one of the oldest and most well known organisations around the world.


What was the sea lion from World War 2?

Was there a RIF after World War 2?

I hope you meant the RAF. There is no RIF. The Royal Air Force exists today. During World War 2 they were known as the RAAF, Royal Army Air Force.AnswerThe original answer is incorrect, as there has never been a 'Royal Army Air Force'. The letters, 'RAAF', represents the Royal Australian Air Force!The Royal Air Force was formed in 1918, by amalgamating the Royal Flying Corps (essentially part of the British Army), and the Royal Naval Air Service (part of the Royal Navy). This is one of the reasons that the RAF rank insignia is based on that of the Royal Navy. The Royal Navy still retains an independent air wing, called the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). And, yes, the RAF does exist today.
