Donald Bradman WWII General Service Badge

Donald Bradman enlisted with the RAAF in June 1940 and was given the rank of lieutenant and attended training classes. When it was clear that he was surplus to the RAAF's requirements, he transferred to the army in October 1940 as a student at the School of Physical and Recreational Training at Frankston, Victoria.

The General Service Badge was issued to persons who served full-time for a period of 28 days or more, continuously or in aggregate, and discharged without becoming eligible for the Returned from Active Service Badge during World War II.
