Profile PictureArthur Butler and Mark Corcoran

We are 'scribblers' from Australia. In terms of personal history, Arthur spent just over 20 years in the Australian Army Infantry Corps from 1963 to 1984 (serving 2 tours in Vietnam). Mark spent 5 years in the Australian Army Medical Corps from 1984 to 1989 (serving with Reserve/Regular/Integrated Units). We both put together very small military insignia collections, based on service background (Arthur: in Vietnam campaign areas of interest and Mark: on Commonwealth Army Medical Corps insignia and ultimately Medical Corps from all armies). So, we are ordinary everyday militaria collectors who decided to write a series of guide books for other collectors, based on our personal familiarity with the Australian Army's customs of service.
