DrB Posted 19 October , 2004 Share Posted 19 October , 2004 I have in my possession a "Rising Sun" pattern badge worn by the Aussie's in WWI, WWII and Korea, but in nickel or possibly silver plate (I can not tell the difference) Kings crown of course with split pin fasteners on the back, loops at 3:00 and 9:00. I have been either informed or read somewhere that this metal badge was worn as a brooch by the Nursing Sisters or whatever in WWI. (Have I been "had?") Can any Pals out there offer any guidence? Thank you in advance. DrB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bonza Posted 19 October , 2004 Share Posted 19 October , 2004 G'day For all you might ever need to know about the badge, go to awm.gov.au Follow the trail to encyclopedia. "Rising Sun Badge' The further links at the bottom of that article should keep you going for an hour or two! Good Luck Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
