Symbolism of the League Badge

The wattle is symbolic of Australia.

The leek, the rose, the thistle and the shamrock are symbolic of, and represent the link with Wales, England, Scotland and Ireland respectively.

The badge is a symbol of a readiness at all time to render service to Queen and country and to former comrades. It is a time-honoured emblem - one that has been worn with a deep sense of pride by the most revered in our land and one that glorifies the forms of dress of all privileged to wear it.

No wealth or influence can purchase the badge which may be worn only by those who have served their country.

Your attention is drawn to the three colours in the badge. The red represents the blood tie of war. White stands for the purity of motive in joining the League - to render service without thought of personal gain or ambition. The blue indicates willingness to render that service to a comrade anywhere under the blue sky - wherever he may be.

Depicted in the centre of the badge, and encircled by the name of the organisation, you will see a sailor, soldier, airman and servicewoman marching together with their arms linked in friendship. This is to show within the circle of the League, all Services and all ranks, march together in unity and comradeship.
