Default Australian silver hatbadge WW2

Max just showed me this hatbadge. It's in silver. Does anybody know the story behind it?

The story behind the badge: We believe, that the prisoners in PoW-Camps in Europe made these badges out of silver chocolate wrapping and sent them home to their beloved as a token to show that they were still alive.
