'Charity' fundraising button 1915 - small size

The Commonwealth Button Fund was established in mid-1915, with the first Button Day being held in November of that year, supporting the people of Belgium. Over the course of the next 6 years, 33 Button Days were held raising money for a variety of patriotic and charitable causes including the Australian, British and French Red Cross, Hospitals, allied countries, current serving men and women, discharged, wounded and disabled servicemen and women, and their families. The buttons were sold in trams, buses, at railways stations and at rallies to raise money for the stated cause.

According to Nick Pezikian and David Andersen, the Commonwealth Button Fund issued these generic 'Charity' buttons in October 1915 for the use of those wishing to raise funds for hospitals and other charitable purposes.
This smaller sized button sold for 1 shilling, while the larger size sold for 2/6.
