In this the first year of our nation’s five-year-commemoration of the Great War
we are proud to offer our Centenary Fundraising Collection.
The world has changed much since the first fundraising silk poppies were sold
immediately after the war to support returned soldiers, their families and others
left destitute by that war to end all wars.
Our collection reflects the symbolic and respectful tradition of the poppy but
delivers the options and choices demanded in today’s society.
With national and local events and media planned over the Centenary, this is a
collection to capture people’s desire to understand and connect to our military
history.
The new ‘Australia in the Great War Collection’, is especially created to support
Centenary activities and there are great opportunities for
community engagement, school visits, awards and novel
fundraising options. Promote your events and activities on

Female Relatives Badges
These faithfully reproduced Female Relative
Badges are a must for all collectors and of
great interest to those with a family link to
the Great War or the Second World War.
1914 Lapel Pin
The 1914 lapel pin from the ‘Australia in the
Great War 1914-1918 Collection’ reflects the
style of the first Australian Imperial Force
shoulder title badges. It marks 100 years
since Australia entered the Great War. Wear
yours with pride and show the spirit is alive
100 years on. Fixes with pin and butterfly
clip and presented on gift card.
RRP: $4.99 WP: $2.10 SPECIAL: $1.25
The badges were first issued during the
Great War when the Australian Government
established special badges for issue to
the nearest female relative of a member
of the Australian forces on active service.
Separate badges were issued to signify
relatives serving in the Royal Australian
Navy (RAN) and the Australian Imperial
Force (AIF). The badge reads “ISSUED BY
THE DEPT OF DEFENCE. TO WOMEN OF
AUSTRALIA. FOR DUTY DONE”.
During the Second World War a single
all-services badge was issued and included
relatives of those serving in the Merchant
Navy. This badge reads simply “TO THE
WOMEN OF AUSTRALIA”.
The badges, worn proudly by mothers,
sisters and wives of those serving, were not
automatically issued but had to be applied
for through the local post office.
Each reproduction with chain and clasp
is housed in an acrylic display case with
a printed sleeve that tells the story of the
individual badge.
Great War 1914-1918 Lapel Pin

and federation star as the gold and enamel

Light Horse Figurine
During the Great War some 32,000 men and 40,000 horses served

and, when need be, withdraw from the enemy. In the fight they
would dismount and fight on foot. This exquisitely detailed cold
cast bronze figurine proudly remembers the ALH and the place of
these men and horses in our national heritage.

A Poppy Tradition
Moina Michael, an American teacher and YMCA volunteer in France during the
Great War, brought the symbolism of the remembrance poppy to the world.
Just before Armistice in 1918 she read John McCrae’s immortal battlefield poem, ‘In
Flanders field’ and decided to wear a red poppy always as a way of ‘keeping faith’,
as McCrae had urged.
The idea so inspired the French YMCA secretary, Anna Guérin that Anna declared
she would sell red silk poppies to raise money for widows, orphans, and needy
veterans and their families.
Moina, Anna and others promoted the poppy’s symbolism and fundraising
opportunities to all Allied nations and soon red silk poppies, fashioned by French
orphans, were sold across the world and a tradition of fundraising and the red
poppy as the flower of remembrance was born.
Australia’s first poppies were sold for Armistice Day 1921. The Australian
