A mothers' and widows' badge. This one was issued to a relative of Clarence Frederick (Fred) Ford from Paddington, New South Wales. Ford enlisted in the RAAF at the age of 18 in 1943, trained as a wireless operator/air gunner and was killed during his final period of training when he and his crew were lost over the North Sea in April 1945, just weeks before the end of the war.
