National Service & Vietnam era numbering, Army and Air Force numbers, the first numeral (i.e. 2/771128 or A55100) usually indicated the State in which the trainee was called up: 1 Queensland, 2 New South Wales, 3 Victoria, 4 South Australia, 5 Western Australia, 6 Tasmania and 1 (later 8) Papua New Guinea. First scheme Army numbers had an oblique, Vietnam-era numbers did not. | ||
The Australian Army recruited seven Garrison Battalions (1st-7th) from veterans of the First World War in October,1939 and by January,1940 there were eight such battalions with a strength of 4,967 men. | ||
Find out who did what in the war. The best WWII 2nd AIF and ACMF site I have found. Very comprehensive, covers all wars Australia has been involved in. |
||
Has any one got any stories about the A.C.M.F. Garrison Battalions (Dad's Army Battalions) ? | ||
Example of "Dad's Army", but there must be a lot of embellished stories
out there.
Cowra Breakout - Armed with a wide assortment of weapons, including
knives, one group attacked the crew of a Vickers gun that was stationed
outside the camp. Members of the 22nd Garrison
Battalion opened fire, causing a large number of casualties.
During the ensuring nine days 334 prisoners were retaken, of which 25
were dead. Of the dead, 11 were found hanging from trees and two had
been killed by trains. In all, 231 Japanese POW's were killed and 108
wounded. One Australian Officer was killed along with three Australian
other ranks, while four others were wounded. This made Cowra the largest
POW breakout, eclipsing other well known Break-outs such as the "great
escape" from Stalag Luft III. |
