The Victorian
Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, in co-operation with the Australian
Army's Central Army Records Office (CARO), is proud to present the 'Australia's
Army War Dead' DVD-ROM.
This searchable DVD-ROM includes over 88,000 Australian Army index records of service
personnel, from all states and territories, who lost their lives during or as a
result of operational service between 1885 and 1972. The deaths include all
personnel in Australian Army units, or personnel attached to an Australian Army
unit.
The service
personnel included in this publication lost their lives during operational
service in the following Operations: Sudan War, Boer War (South Africa), World
War I, World War II, British Commonwealth Occupational Force (Japan), Korea,
Malayan Emergency, Indonesian Confrontation and Vietnam. Not all of
these operations were classified as Wars or Conflicts. It is for this reason
that the term used in this publication is "Operation", at the request of the
Australian Army.
In 2005 the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages began collecting photographs of the
service personnel from relatives, the family history community, and other
secondary sources. In some cases additional information was provided by the
person supplying the photographs. This information, if consistent, has been
included. The additional information is located in 'Age at Death' and 'Place of
Burial' in the index. The photographs of the service personnel add another dimension to the index
records and bring the names to the realisation that these were real people who
lost their lives whilst serving Australia.
