This antique bronze-finished lapel pin is both striking and solemn, designed to honour the enduring legacy of those who served. At its centre stands a uniformed soldier, eyes downcast in silent reflection, rays of red, white, and blue evoke the colours of the Australian flag, symbolising national pride and unity.
Behind him is a moving tribute to history: a depiction inspired by the iconic 1917 photograph by renowned Australian war photographer Frank Hurley. Taken during the Third Battle of Ypres, the image captures silhouetted soldiers marching against a haunting sky — a scene that has come to embody the sacrifices made on the battlefield, particularly in the push to capture the Passchendaele ridge.
Emblazoned with the simple yet powerful phrases “AUSTRALIA REMEMBERS” and “LEST WE FORGET”, this lapel pin serves as a deeply respectful reminder of those who gave their lives in service.
A meaningful keepsake for collectors, veterans, and all who wish to honour our fallen, this piece carries both historical weight and heartfelt sentiment.
