Description:
Required for Home Service 1914-1919 badge, three cm diameter, Issued by the Department of Defence (Australia), badges were sometimes issued to those who did not got to war by the Department of Defence to indicate that 'permission to serve had been withheld owing to services being required in Australia'. This practise was established after people helping the war effort found themselves subject to criticism and personal attacks. They were wrongfully accused of showing disloyalty to their country because they were not seen wearing a military uniform.
