Need help in getting info on this badge
 

Hi all
need some info on a Australian Munitions Workers badge No 3043 . Any way of researching said badge ??

Thanks Rob

Does the National Archives of Australia have any records?

That would be the first place I would check.

Mick

Could not see any but some times i cant see the trees for the forest.:rolleyes:

They seem to have a lot of records there for individual Munitions Workers.

Worth a look.

Mick

Found your man! Assuming of course that the badge number is the same as the munitions worker number as shown below.

Thanks but the link timed out , does not show anything?

Thats the problem with the NAA links. They tend to time out.

Just search for "Munitions Worker + 3043" and you will find it.

Mick

The badge number and the Munition Workers number are two different things......

So how do you find out who it is??

Found a site about WW1 Australian Munitions Workers that also lists badge numbers and it confirms :

WILLIAMSON James Thomas 3043

I don't know anout Australian issued badges but in the U.K the number on the badge was the workers number and they were issued with a certificate bearing that number.

Victoria Museums only states :

Cheers Mike

Maybee Mick could consult Neil Smith's booklet of recipients of the Australian Munitions Workers badge he is selling for $18
