A masterpiece of military memorabilia, underpinned by great variety, superb presentation and excellent value, the WWI Australian Historical Portfolio forms the ultimate commemoration of Australia's Baptism of Fire in 'the war to end all wars'.
An Extensive Array of Memorabilia
Featuring coins and banknotes of the era, Australia's first stamp types, and several replica medals, this unique WWI anthology contains an incredible range of memorabilia. Across an astonishing 16 pieces, each set contains:
Six WWI-era coins - two from Australia, Britain & Germany, dates of our choice (1910-18)
Two original WWI era Australian stamps - denominations of our choice
An original German WWI era 1 Mark banknote
A replica of the rare Dardanelles 10/- Overprint banknote
Four replica WWI military medals
A replica 1919 Victory Medallion
A 1967 Lapel Badge replica
A Compelling Chronicle of Australia's WWI History
From the declaration of war in August 1914, and the subsequent call to enlist, to the tragically ill-fated Gallipoli campaign, the arduous and unrelenting combat of the Western Front, then the announcement of armistice in 1918, Australia's WWI experience was fraught with emotion. While families and friends waited patiently at home, the Australian soldiers became renown for the courage, mateship and larrikinism they displayed on the front lines. Through this 16-piece set, discover the lesser-known stories of the Great War, like the Ottoman Empire banknotes overprinted for use by troops at Gallipoli, or the Wound Badges awarded to injured or frostbitten German soldiers.
Superb Presentation
Packed full of information, the attention to detail in this full-colour, illustrated folder is second-to-none. Allowing you to follow the WWI experience as it unfolded, moment by moment, this museum-style pack is an informative setting to enrich your WWI collection. With such excellent presentation, this portfolio would make a terrific gift for any militaria buff or Australian History aficionado - if you're willing to part with it!
Superb Value-For-Money
This comprehensive portfolio is surprisingly affordable - at just over $11 per piece! Don't miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in Australia's history, with a collection to be treasured for generations to come.
