Comments: ANZAC Leave Rosette – 1918.
ANZAC rosettes were given to men returning on this special leave (they had been granted a special six month leave for having enlisted in 1914) to wear on each sleeve so that members of the Australian public would recognise their previous early service and not accuse able bodied men of shirking service when recruits were still being sought to bolster the badly depleted fighting units of the AIF.
