In 1902 a badge was sought for the Australian contingents raised after Federation for service in South Africa. After that war the original design was modified, and this badge was worn throughout the First and Second World Wars. Other modifications have followed, though the central feature of the "Rising Sun", the collection of bayonets radiating in a semi-circle from a crown, remains an integral part of Australian military tradition. In August 2025, the 8th iteration was updated to feature the Tudor Crown, reflecting the reign of King Charles III.The Australian Army’s Rising Sun badge is one of the nation's most recognisable military symbols.
