Medals are awarded for service. These are some of the medals awarded to Australians who fought in World War One.
Ask your Mum or Dad if any of your Grandparents or Great Grandparents fought in World War One. Maybe their medals are in a special place in the house. Why don’t you ask them to take you to an ANZAC Day parade? You could ask them if it is alright to wear your Grandparent’s medals.
