Long Service badges were introduced by AIF Order No.470 of the 24th January 1917. The badge, awarded to Warrant Officers, Non-Commissioned Officer's and men, consisted of a single chevron of service lace sewn to the left forearm. One chevron was awarded for each years service in the AIF. Men who had incurred a regimental entry during the year were not entitled for the award.
These chevrons are made of service lace sewn to a khaki wool backing.
The following badges are reproductions of those worn by members of the AIF during the First World War. They have been made as closely to originals as possible.
