Badge board in black frame showing the badges of the Royal Victoria Regiment and the 5th Battalion, Victorian Scottish Regiment on a Gordon tartan backing. Below this is an information panel which includes a summary of important historical information about the 5th Infantry Battalion and its connection to A COY 5/6 RVR. Note: While this object notes the connection between A COY 5/6 RVR and 5th Bn VSR it should be remembered that the RVR is the custodian of the legacy of all Victorian Infantry units. This is therefore not the only historical link of A COY 5/6 RVR which also holds strong links to the 52nd Infantry Battalion (The Gippsland Regiment) who had its HQ located for many years in Dandenong near the current A COY 5/6 RVR depot. While B COY 5/6 RVR is the primary custodian of the VSR historical link, the message of this object is that A COY also has a connection which should be remembered.

The 17th Australian Infantry Brigade was an infantry brigade in the Australian Army. First formed in 1917 during World War I, it did not see any action. Reformed during World War II, before being disbanded in 1946. Today, its name is perpetuated by the 17th Combat Service Support Brigade, which was raised as a logistics formation in May 2006. The 17th Brigade was reformed on 13 October 1939, again as part of the 6th Division, recruited from Victoria. The 17th Brigade fought in the Western Desert Campaign in Libya, the Battle of Greece, the Battle of Wau, the Salamaua-Lae campaign in Papua, and in the Aitape-Wewak campaign in New Guinea.
