Currently on loan from the State Library of SA and on display in the Local and Garden History Centre of the Mount Lofty Districts Historical Society, in the Coventry Memorial Library at Stirling, is this interesting collection of WW1 fund-raising badges compiled during the First World War by Lady Symon, wife of Sir Josiah Symon of Manoah, Upper Sturt. Our research reveals that she was herself vigourously involved in fund-raising causes.
Previously displayed in the Upper Sturt Soldier’s Memorial Hall and then donated to the Society for safe keeping, it normally resides within the State Library, so this is a rare opportunity to see it up close.
Visit the Local and Garden History Centre at any time that the Coventry Memorial Library is open.
