Maybe because you ask the wrong question?
In my opinion the better question would be: Can you tell me something about this regiment?
As far as I know (but I live at the wrong side of the globe), this is a 1903-1908 badge. The 12th Australian Indantry Regiment was in 1903 created from 2nd Battalion, Tasmanian Infantry Regiment. In 1912 it became 92nd Infantry (Launceton Battalion) with a badge that had 92 instead of XII.
After the Great War it perpetuated the 12th Australian Infantry Battalion, AIF as 12th Battalion. In 1927 12th Battalion (Launceton Regiment. The badge then got the XII back.
1936 linked into 12th/50th Battalion, becoming 12th/50th Australian Infantru Battalion (AIF) in 1943
In 1945 unlink and linked into 12th/40th Australian Infantry Battalion (AIF). Disbanded in 1946
Resurrected in 1948, perpetuating 2/12th Australian Infantry Battalion, AIF and 2/40th Australian Infantry Battalion, AIF.
In 1953 split up: 12th Infantry Battalion (The Launceton Regiment).
The 1960 reorganisation made it "A" Company (The Launceton Regiment), 1st Battailon, Tasmania Regiment (which became Royal Tasmania Regiment the same year).
In 1972 the 1st Battaion was split and one of the new Battalions was 12th Battalion, Royal Tasmania Regiment.
In 1975 reduced to 12th Independent Rifle Company, Royal Tasmania Regiment.
In 1987 the old comrades were merged again in 12t/40th Battalion, Royal Tasmania Regiment.
I hope those from down-under will correct me.
