Emblems of Service

Emblems of Service

Overview

Learn about the badges worn by the men and women who fought for the Crown in a history talk by Raymond Butler.

New Zealanders have fought and served in many wars both here and overseas since the late 19th century, but how was this service represented once they returned to civilian life? A short talk looking at and identifying the badges worn by the men and women who fought for the Crown.

Attendees are warmly invited to bring along their own war memorabilia, including photographs, medals, badges, letters, uniforms, or other military artefacts, to share with the group or receive commentary and historical insights from the speaker.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, researching your family history, or simply curious about Aotearoa's heritage, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about an important chapter in New Zealand's past.

This event is free and open to everyone. Bookings are recommended as places are limited.
