Details

In 2014, the Royal Australian Mint paid tribute to the Australian Comforts Fund, a group set up here at home to “support the boys overseas”.  

Formed on 24 August 1916, the association was an amalgamation of state-based organisations that had been individually formed at the beginning of the First World War to send comforts to the troops. The organisation quickly grew into a fundraising, collecting, sorting and distributing machine.
