Gallipoli Medallion Pin

Description

The Anzac Commemorative Medallion was instituted in 1967. It was awarded to surviving members of the Australian forces who served on the Gallipoli Peninsula, or in direct support of the operations from close off shore, at any time during the period from the first Anzac Day in April 1915 to the date of final evacuation in January 1916.

This lapel badge is a small replica of the medallion to recognise their Gallipoli service.

The image on the badge depicts Simpson and his donkey carrying a wounded soldier to safety. It is bordered on the lower half by a laurel wreath above the word ANZAC.
