thanks kingsley, never knew Festberg, before my time, but have heard the same as you say. his books are a good curio and a beginning to the cataloguing of the aussie military badge

I only have Cossum part 3 (48-85) ..so I end up picking up Festberg for anything that might be older. Anyway, if I cock anything up comment on the page or PM and I'll fix it.

Thanks all for the comments here and clarifying this one - I will proceed with caution as far as Festberg is concerned!
