[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 254243, member: 1916"] As the AIF did not use regimental badges, distinctive insignia on uniforms was required to identify the wearers unit. In September 1914 it was announced that oxidised copper letters and numerals would be issued for wear on the collars of officers tunics and on the shoulder straps of other ranks. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1916/1465296989_image.jpg[/img] My guess would be the 81st (Wakefield) Infantry Regiment - South Australia [/QUOTE]
