Summary

For over a century the men and women of the Australian Defence Force have developed a rich history of service both on and off the battlefield. Many Australians have not been required to serve in battle but have contributed exemplary service in both operational and non-operational roles and have been integral in making the Australian Defence Force one of the most professional military forces in the world. To recognise their contribution, a number of long service and other non-operational medals have been awarded for their efforts. (From message by Danna Vale p. 1)

Includes an attached printout of 'A basic guide to ribbons, etc. for Orders, Decorations, Medals and Awards earned by Australians' inside the front cover.
Inside the back cover is an attached printout of 'Australian War Badges' from the Central Army Records Office, 2003.
