This is the current catalogue of Memorabilia
This is the start of a growing reference of the pieces of 2/20 memorabilia that is held by families and / or other public collections.
It is hoped that it will grow into an important resource for families researching relatives in both the 2nd 20th and the 8th Division generally.
If you have items to add, please contact us using the form at the bottom of this page. These could be as little as an obituary for an original member
or an entire memoir from an original.
