Australian Labour Army

David was kind enough to reply to my post on armbands with a reference to the Australian Labor Army and their patch.


Rather than rely to him personally I thought everyone may be interested.

The Australian Labor Army, Unemployed Workers Movement and Worker’s’ Defence Corps were all creations of the Communist Party of Australia (CPA). Information on them is thin on the ground, but they occasionally appearing in newspaper articles and CPA files. 

They were all militant creations of the CPA, most responding to the New Guard and keeping Lang in power, or to the eviction of families who due to unemployment were unable to pay the rent. Indeed this last factor was a national problem and on occasion lead to barricades and conflict.

As I keep saying, dig and you will find gems for inspiration on creating forces and scenarios for ARBM.
