EDITORS COMMENTS
This embroidered badge showcases the rich history of the Australian Commonwealth Military Forces during World War I. Created by the skilled hands of Walter A. Bryant in August 1917 at the Staff House of Netley Red Cross Hospital, this intricately detailed work of art represents the 17th Battalion of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF). The Australian Commonwealth Military Forces, established in March 1901, united the military forces of the six British self-governing colonies of Australia under a single command. During World War I, the AIF played a significant role in the Allied victory, with over 332,000 men serving overseas. Walter A. Bryant, a dedicated volunteer and soldier, created this commemorative art piece while recovering at Netley Red Cross Hospital. The badge features the distinctive insignia of the 17th Battalion, which includes the regimental number "17" encircled by a laurel wreath and surmounted by a kangaroo and emu, symbolizing the Australian military and the unity of the colonies. The label included in the photograph provides essential context to this historical artifact, revealing its origin and provenance. This embroidered badge is a testament to the resilience and patriotism of the Australian soldiers during World War I. The intricate stitching and attention to detail make it a valuable addition to any military history or art collection. This image is an excellent representation of the topographical medical history during WWI, showcasing the role of the Red Cross in providing care and support to wounded soldiers. The 1st Great War, also known as World War I, lasted from 1914 to 1918, and this badge serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Australian military during this global conflict.
