About This Unit
The 38th Battalion was raised in Victoria at Bendigo but because of an outbreak of meningitis in the camp, the Battalion was re-established at suburban Campberwell in Melbourne. It was to be the second of four Battalions forming the 10th Brigade, as denoted by its Colour patch; the eliptical shape denotes the Third Division, the red lower half the second brigade of the division and the purple upper half the second battalion of that brigade.
