Commemorative Pin Badge
Maltese Living Abroad and Locals can play an important role supporting ANZAC sports in Malta by purchasing “as shown below” this beautifully designed limited edition Commemorative pin badge that can also be worn during ANZAC week. The Story behind the badge:
- Butterfly with open wings – sign of recovery [representing the 58,000 Wounded ANZACs returning home];
- Red Cross logo on the butterfly – Red Cross played a vital role in Malta and the logo formed part of Nurse Uniforms;
- Australian Coat of Arms – is located above the entrance of the Australian Hall at Pembroke. The Australian Hall is the only building left today to remind us ANZACs were in Europe and Malta;
- Colours Red and White Butterfly – Represents Malta’s Flag colours [Malta was also known as the Nurse Island of the Mediterranean 1914- 1918];
- Coastal Rowing Boat – First ANZAC sport involving male and female U18 representing their country.
