In 2001, we took on a massive project to merchandise the Centenary of the Australian Army. It was a turning point for us at BrandNet, and we're grateful and honoured to be continuing the great tradition of providing quality products to honour our Army.

One of the collections we produce is the History of the Rising Sun Hat Badge Collection, Australia's premier collection of high-quality reproductions of all seven variations of the Rising Sun badges proudly worn by generations of soldiers since 1902.

Since its inception as a general service badge for the Australian contingents serving in the Boer War, the Rising Sun badge has undergone seven iterations. Each evolution represents the changing structure of service and Australia's political maturity.

This year, we've launched this beautiful new product. Consider donating the Rising Sun Collection Frame to a local school, service club, or community centre. Preserve the legacy by adding a personalised inscription plate, ensuring these stories endure for generations to come. Personalised plaques are available for $24.99 each. To order yours, simply select the "Include custom message plate" option when purchasing your History of the Rising Sun Hat Badge Wall Frame. Learn more here: https://hubs.ly/Q03dCc9m0

A month ago, on 24 February 2025, our Managing Director, Stephen Davie, attended a historic moment at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra—the awarding of the first-ever Australian Animal Distinguished Service Award to retired combat assault dog Manic. 🏅🐕

This honour, presented by AWAMO, recognises the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of animals in military and emergency service roles.
