Uniforms worn by men and women serving in the Australian Defence Force have been issued with a badge misspelling the name of their country. Royal Australian Navy officers currently serving in the Middle East were given the uniforms with the badge carrying an extra “L” in the word Australian.
The embarrassing typo has shocked the RSL and had raised the issue of Defence uniforms being made overseas.
A Tasmanian company was receiving the badges from a factory in Hong Kong.
The men and women serving in the Defence Force are extremely proud of their uniform and what they represent when they wear it.
This revelation comes just days after Victorian clothing manufacturer Australian Defence Apparel was sold to an international partner.
The company makes uniforms for the Australian Army and emergency services.
United States defence uniforms are required to be made in America.
