Pinned Over the Heart: A History of ANZAC Appeal Badges: The ANZAC Collectionby Gary Newperson (Author)

Stop hoarding that drawer of mysterious, unidentified metal scraps and start owning a piece of the Aussie soul! If you’re an Australian, there’s a good chance you’ve worn an ANZAC badge at least once in your life, but be honest: do you know the story behind that little pin, or is it just the thing you fumbled with while trying to look solemn at the dawn service? In Pinned Over the Heart, Gary Newperson has turned 15 years of obsessive, slightly manic research into a definitive guide that finally explains why we pin these tiny treasures over our hearts. This book isn't just for history buffs or badge-hoarding experts; it’s for every Aussie who wants to know the "why" and "how" behind the symbols that define our national DNA since 1916. We’re talking about the artisans, the sacrifice, and the literal fabric of our history, all laid out so you can finally impress your relatives at the next ANZAC lunch instead of just nodding along. It’s time to trade the mystery metal in your kitchen for the actual story of our heroes—grab your copy and officially graduate from "badge wearer" to "badge legend".
