    Hi All,

    I am working on a memorabilia frame for my great uncle who was a rat of tobruk. He was a private and I was wondering if anyone can tell me what (if anything) Privates had on their Epaulets?

    Would it be absolutely nothing or would they just be wearing the 'banana' shaped 'Australia' shoulder titles?

    Thanks for your help

    Liesl

    Since I assume from the one referrence to Austrailia, your great uncle was a "digger"? If so you might be able to wander around in this site and find a hint or two!

    Good luck, I didn't sort through it really but it has lots of photos and stuff on other subjects pretaining to them.
