Australian Service Records

[Hedley Hunnisett]

Recently someone posted a couple of URLs for WW1 and WW2 service
records for Australia. I successfully downloaded the World War 2
Nominal Roll for the surname I was researching, but the WW1 site
would not let me in.

Due to a 'senior moment' I have managed to delete the copy of the
message with these two URLs which I had carefully saved and in spite
of searching back through the last 25 or so message downloads it
still eludes me.

Can anyone help please, as I wanted to thank the original poster
and would like to go back to the WW2 site.

Hi Hedley

Another useful very useful data base is the National
Archives of Australia's Record Search

http://www.naa.gov.au/the_collection/recordsearch.html

A great many WW1 & WW2 service dossiers have been
digitised
and you can view these via the NAA A great many other
records are indexed too

you can request the documents relating to your query to be placed online so
you can access the copies. Go to the National Archives of Australia site
and do a search for your relatives name - first world war is easier than
second i think because of privacy laws etc.

The first World War is easier because the records are marked open and
are in Canberra as unless the records are in Canberra you can't
request an on-line copy.

Many of the Second World War records are yet to be classified (ie not
marked as open) or are not in Canberra, ruling out on-line copies, as
distinct from privace laws as such.

Hi Robert,

A small correction here based on first hand experience ...

I have requested on-line copies of WWII service records that were "not
open" - the request takes longer than normal as they have to view and
classify them but I have since received digital copies of those records.

When that happened to me (as a result of my putting in the wrong
request) they were displayed as open very shortly afterwards - I
assumed that the change in status took time to be included in the
database.
