Some came from other countries...and were never heard of again by their loved ones. What brings people to want to restart their lives...

You may find more by looking at the newspapers of the day, the births, deaths, marriages of the various states and also looking for details of those named as looking for the missing person.

* GENERAL INTEREST

* National Archives of Australia. Great news for researchers..

   The National Archives of Australia (https://www.naa.gov.au/)  has signed contracts for the bulk digitization of more than 650,000 Second World war service records. 

This is a four-year $10 million (Australian) contract of which 220,000 have already been digitized.


This project will ensure Australians can access almost one million of these records digitally by 2023.  This builds on the already digitized records of those who served in the First World War.


To search by name is not difficult. Enter the name and select either World War 1 or World War 11 in the category filter. The digitized item column will indicate if a digital copy of a service record is available.

To learn more go to: https://www.naa.gov.au/explore-collection/defence-and-war-service-records
