M.S.DUNERA, badge in gilt and enamel (22mm), by Fattorini & Sons, pin-back. Nearly extremely fine.
The MS Dunera was originally a troopship, HMT Dunera, which was used to transfer Germans interned in England to Australia. Initially they were interned in England between May and July 1940 in consequence of general internment orders even though practically all were refugees of Nazi oppression because of their religious beliefs. They were then transferred to Camps 7 and 8 at Hay, N.S.W. Australia, being transported on H.M.T.Dunera. Those transferred documented a series of complaints of ill treatment during their time on the Dunera.
