Many of the images come from material sent to me by the Australian Government. Particular thanks are also due to Lukasz Grazewski and Greg Henderson who provided a wealth of information and pictures. Detective Constable Vince Pannell supplied information about Police medals and Arjeh van der Sluis found me the police website, Douglas Bunney sent a picture of his own Cadet Forces Medal, Andrew Dixon told me about a new bar for the Active Service Medal and Paul Macpherson pointed out an error!
