Photograph, Legacy Appeal 1990, 1990

Historical information

A photo of a group of defence force personnel with Volunteer Helper tags at Legacy House with a stack of Legacy Appeal tins. The slogan says "Legacy Cares for families of deceased servicemen". It appears to have been professionally taken to publicise Legacy Week in the newspapers.
Labels found with a second copy say: "Fifty personnel from the RAAF's headquarters logistics command took to Melbourne's streets to collect on behalf of Legacy's Annual Badge Day Appeal.
All were volunteers and were part of a tri-service effort."
"Legacy is indebted to members of the Defence Force Services for their invaluable help to sell Legacy badges during "Legacy Week". The Annual Badge Day Appeal is the one time of the year that Legacy asks all Australians to remember the work of Legacy and to wear a Legacy badge with pride."

Significance

A record of the defence forces help in promoting Legacy in Badge Week and selling badges.
