When Australia went to war it provided it's troops with all the badges that they needed. . . .but
  • On the home front there was also a need to have badges;
    • so that able bodied men in reserved occupations, who were NOT ALLOWED to enlist, were protected from the 'White Feather' brigade who would call "coward" any one not in uniform or without a valid reason not to be
    • to signify that a woman's son/husband was overseas with the AIF or the RAN ( and in WW2 the RAAF)
    • to signify that duty had already been done.
    • and for a dozen or more other good and valid reasons

CLICK TO ENTER  but please be aware that because there are a lot of badges on any one page it will take a short time to load. Please be patient, it is an important part of Australia's military related civilian history.
