BATTLE
HONOURS
These
battle honours recognise the outstanding courage and achievements of the
Australian Army and its forerunners in its most arduous, difficult and
ultimately successful campaigns.
This collection includes the title of the battle honour itself, the qualifying dates and the original units to which the honour was awarded. (Battle honours are inherited by subsequent redesignated units - the lineage of battle honours will be listed here also in due course.) These original units are also listed with the battle honours they earned, with those chosen by the unit to be emblazoned on their colours, flag or guidon in bold, as was the style in the original orders announcing the honour. Where known, a reference is given to individuals of those units whose actions led to their being awarded a Victoria Cross or other award for valour.
As with the AHU web site generally, this collection is in development. It is envisaged that it will, in due course, be a complete record. Your input is always welcome - contact us.
