Royal Artillery Commissariat Staff Corps.
Commissariat Staff Corps note. It is not recorded that this Corps was ever stationed in Australia. However this button was 'dug' in Tasmania. It possibly came from an attached member, possibly from a soldier on route to the New Zealand War/s or possibly was part of a collection of a soldier stationed there.
This category is based on research done by J K Cossum and published in his book "Buttons of the Defence Forces of Australia" ISBN 0-7316-3083-1
