NON SERIES BADGES

The wattle and silver fern, symbols of Australia and New Zealand respectively, beautifully reflect the shared heritage and enduring bond between the two nations.

The Slouch Hat Badge was commissioned in 1996 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the first ANZAC Day observances. It is now available at all times as a source of fundraising.

This composite badge has been struck to commemorate those who served at Gallipoli from April to December 1915. The A is for the brass “A” worn by those who took part in operations on the Peninsula. The Rising Sun badge represents the esprit-de-corps, the camaraderie of the Australian soldiers of the 1st AIF. The words on the scrolls – Courage, Sacrifice and Comradeship – epitomise the deeds of the Diggers at Gallipoli – the others-before-self Spirit of ANZAC.
