The Canowindra News has a set of the latest limited edition Sanda of Gallipoli medallions to give away to one lucky reader.

All you have to do to be in the draw to win this magnificent set is to place your name, address and phone number on the back of an envelope and send it to the Sands of Gallipoli Competition, c-o the Cowra Guardian PO Box 126, Cowra NSW 2794.

ANZAC and Gallipoli are words indelibly burnt into history by about 59,000 of the finest soldiers Australia and New Zealand ever produced. About 10,800 made the supreme sacrifice.

Managing Director of Market Link Solutions, Stephen Davie, said, "These people and their service are the inspiration behind the designs for Sands of Gallipoli collection in 2006."

The new 2006 collection has a strong ANZAC theme, depicting the service men and women of Australian and New Zealand. They include lapel pins, key rings, plaques, teaspoons, and limited edition medallions, which contain authentic sand from ANZAC Cove.

There are six limited edition medallions in the collection, Infantry, Mounted, Medical, Artillery, Navy and one featuring Engineers, Supply and Signals. Each medallion features Australian & New Zealanders, with detailed period uniforms and artistically interpreted events performed by each group.

The limited edition medallions are housed in beautiful rotating timber display stands and feature an additional header medallion, vial of Gallipoli sand and a numbered certificate of authenticity. The limited medallions are available individually at $49.95 or as a set of six priced at $195.00

The lapel pin $9.95, keyring $14.95, teaspoon $14.95 and plaque $64.95 will also appeal to collectors and those looking for a unique gift.

RSL National President Major General Bill Crews AO (Retd) said, "The Returned & Services League of Australia is pleased to support the Sands of Gallipoli initiative and receive a 10% donation from all sales. These funds will support the RSL's ongoing welfare work in the Veteran community." To date the Sands of Gallipoli collection has contributed over $400,000 to the RSL nationwide.

Stephen Davie, said, "We expect to surpass our target for 2006 fundraising thanks to the many thousands of Australians commemorating the ANZAC's. Our goal for this year is to raise $120,000. We're well on our way with over a $40,000 donation earmarked from early orders placed by clients, with this years donation we will exceed the $500,000 mark."

These beautifully crafted items are available from participating Australia Post Shops or online at www.militaryshop.com.au or by calling 02 6123 2999.
