EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking mahogany plaque, shaped like Australia, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Australian military during the First World War. The intricately detailed decoration features various insignia and badges that were worn by members of the Australian Flying Corps (AFC). At the top left corner, a multi-coloured badge indicates that the wearer belonged to this branch of service. Below it, the white and red insignia of the 24th Battalion, 6th Brigade, 2nd Division AIF, is proudly displayed. A bronze AIF badge, a brass shoulder title denoting volunteers for overseas service with "Australia" inscribed, and a gold and enamel Royal Flying Corps (RFC) badge complete the design. The photograph included in the image shows the Australian Flying Corps badge in greater detail, highlighting the intricate design and craftsmanship. This trench art piece is not only a beautiful and unique decorative item but also a significant historical artifact, telling the story of the brave Australians who served in the skies during the First World War.
