Pip, Squeak and Wilfred was a cartoon strip, describing the adventures of an orphaned family of animals, that was published in the Daily Mirror from 1919 to 1956 and conceived by Bertram Lamb.
In 1927, the Pip, Squeak and Wilfred club began. It was named the 'Wilfredian League of Gugnuncs' (WLOG). 'Gugnuncs' is a combination of two baby-talk words that are used by the character Wilfred in the cartoon strip. Nunc beng his version of Uncle. The club was hugely popular and organised competitions and events for thousands of members.
There was a WLOG member's badge in blue enamelled metal, featuring the long ears of Wilfred - among the WLOG rules was one should never eat rabbit!
Medals awarded to soldiers after the First World War were irreverently referred to as Pip, Squeak and Wilfred.
