 A total of 19 battle honours were bestowed upon the 24th Battalion in 1927 for its involvement in the war.In 1921, the decision was made to perpetuate the numerical designations and battle honours of the AIF by re-raising the AIF units as part of the Citizens Forces (later renamed the "Militia").To a large extent most of these units were raised in the areas from where their personnel had been drawn during the war, thus maintaining their regional links in the process.
