Some kids collect Lego or Pokémon but for our junior historian and curator, Ollie, he collects ANZAC tins produced by RSL Australia as part of his passion for our ANZAC heroes and military memorabilia. His collection now totals just under 100 tins, and yes they all have a place in his home and heart! All the designs here are different, including the very rare blue tin (the first one ever made), Simpson and his Donkey as well as more modern designs. Ollie has just been named a finalist in this years Premier’s ANZAC Tour with Education WA and used this photo as part of his entry to show his passion. Please join us in wishing him all the best! RSL WA 👏👏👏
