The chalk badges in the hills of Wiltshire are a significant part of our World Heritage. Using techniques similar to those of the ancients, British, Canadian and Aussie soldiers of WW1 built these monuments whilst in training or rehabilitation here on the Salisbury plain.The constructions exist today only through the efforts of one group of people, The Fovant Badges Society who now urgently require help. Supporters of this society are gathering with a view to providing funds for the ever increasing demands of conservation & restoration.

During the last two years my family of six young children and nursing studies have taken up so much of my time that my work on this website had nearly come to a standstill. Recently  I  seriously considered pulling Anzac Research offline. I have found it really difficult to commit to the  time needed to run this and my 37th site. It has also been really  disappointing to see much of the work I have done here copied onto other sites with no acknowledgement or reference    - Strange things happen though and  it wasn't until I made the decision to pull the site offline that I realised just how very much it does meen to me. I was also really surprised at the dismay of my family about the decision. It seems they also have formed an attachment to the site and told me I had done to much work with it to just walk away from it now................and although I have come across some really low people -  the friendships I have made through this site far outweigh the bad.So after not a real lot of prompting the decision was made - The site will stay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope to make alot of changes to the site format in the next few weeks - starting with the new forum board at
The decision is made . We are here to stay
Lets hope better and brighter than ever.
If you have any ideas on improving the site please email me
And thanks to those people who have continued to support the site from its beginning
