History and use
These badges were sold to raise funds for Anzac House. The original Anzac House was built in 1924 in Elizabeth Street, Brisbane, as the headquarters of the RSSILA's Queensland branch. In 1945 this building was sold and the RSL moved to a site on Wickham Terrace, Brisbane, subsequently also named Anzac House.
