Title: Help needed to identify badges please
Post by: ian-nz on Monday 10 April 23 04:08 BST (UK)

Recently I was sent photo's of medals and badges belonging to my father who was with the RAAF 1941 to 1945 and would be grateful if someone could tell me what they are. I will start with these two. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, Kay has got it. (I’ve lightened the original to show the wording on it better.)

Thanks Dave - I think this link refers to the same badge in 1944 https://www.britishmilitarybadges.co.uk/products/ww2-australian-aif-returned-from-active-service-1944-lapel-badge.html  earlier than the earlier link I posted
