The Result of 6 Years of Research – Fully Revised, Expanded & Year-Ordered for 2024.
We are proud to present the most comprehensive edition of our World War II badge series. Six years in development, this 3rd Edition has been completely restructured for the serious collector and historian. This is no longer just a list; it is a chronological journey through the war years, documented through the very tokens that funded Australia’s victory.
Integrated Research: For the first time, historical notes are positioned directly adjacent to the badges, allowing for seamless identification and study.
Chronological Structure: Organized by Year, Badge Type, and Fundraising Event to help you trace the progression of the war effort.
Expanded Data: Now featuring 497 badge images (an 11% increase over 2023), backed by 210 references and 103 footnotes.
The Human Element: Augmented with names of known participants and contemporary newspaper photographs where available.
Badge Maker Profiles: Detailed information on the manufacturers of the era and the history of badge collecting in Australia.
Advanced Research Section: Includes "possible" badge-issuing events and names of individuals involved in patriotic fundraising, providing leads for future discoveries.
Visual Gallery: High-resolution images of nearly 500 badges, providing a clear guide for condition and variety.
