A rival organization organized at the other end of the state was called the Philadelphia Sons of Veterans ( PSV ).
The PSV was started on Sept. 29, 1878, when Anna M. Ross Camp Number 1 was founded in Philadelphia.
The PSV was started by Comrade James P. Holt of Anna Ross Camp 94 of the GAR in Philadelphia.
On October 15, 1878, the Planning Committee presented a proposed constitution and rules for the operation of the cadet corps to Post 94.
These were approved and the name " Sons of Veterans " was adopted ( hereinafter " Philadelphia Sons of Veterans ").
Other posts in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York likewise established cadet corps.
