Nurse's Silver Rising Sun
My question is, were these silver rising sun throat badges also worn during the second world war?
I have this one that is inscribed on the back with the date 21/6/45. And I guess the name of the person who wore it. Phil. |

Silver Rising Sun badge was worn by members of the Australian army during the Second World War on there tie . Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS) sisters wore a silver badge, while servicemen wore a bronze-coloured badge.

Yes, it was worn on the collar in front. It was a collar sized badge and was pin back. As I understand it in WW2 they wore both a silver one and/or a nickel version, but in WWI only silver.
Hope this helps, Terry (Did not realize how big those pictures were, so I have reduced them and reposted) Last edited by Home Guard; 28-08-20 at 02:21 PM. |
