Contextual Information

The Australian Army Museum of WA has a number of groups comprising these medals. Several are not mounted as a group for wear because of the retrospective award dates of the various medals. Multiple examples of these medals are retained as an ongoing memorial to the service and sacrifice of Western Australians. Medals are displayed in context throughout the Museum. All medals are identified, archivally stored and those not on display are accessible and viewable with prior notice.
