SoG 05 Ltd. Ed. Medallion - Leaving Australia

The Stunning Sands of Gallipoli 2005 release Leaving Australia Limited Edition Medallion. As the first troops of the newly formed Australian Imperial Force set sail for war on November 1st 1914 they did so with a selfless instinct to help "the Mother country". This attitude buoyed by Prime Minister Andrew Fisher's commitment to help Britain "to our last man and our last shilling" spread rapidly across the nation as reports of Australian gallantry at Gallipoli filtered home. Man and boy alike rallied to embark for battle and for adventure. By the end of the war more than 331000 Australians had volunteered and fought overseas in the AIF - the only all-volunteer army in the war. Each box features a vial of Gallipoli sand and a numbered certificate of authenticity. Only 10000 sets of each individual medallion will be released.
