2024 BOOK: Commonwealth Button Fund – WWI Patriotic and Fundraising Badges 2nd Edition

New Revised Edition

The Commonwealth Button Fund was a charitable fundraising organisation during the WWI from 1915 to 1920. It operated in Victoria by mostly women volunteers whose primary purpose was to organise “Button Days” to sell fundraising badges to raise and distribute funds to a multitude of charities.
“Commonwealth Button Fund – WWI Patriotic and Fundraising Badges” helps preserve and recognize the tremendous fundraising efforts of the organisation. The publication is for badge collectors and people interested in Australian history on the home front during WWI.
After substantial research, the authors have been able to determine the specific badges issued by the Fund on the various button days. This 2nd edition contains several new and improved images and includes for the first time cardboard Collector’s Permits.
