2014 Australia Remembers Comforts Fund 20c Unc Coin on Card

 In 2014, the Royal Australian Mint pays tribute to the Australian Comforts Fund, a group set up here at home to “support the boys overseas” – and the next release in our highly popular Australia Remembers Series.

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.
