Abstract

This series consists of service documents for people who served in the Second Australian Imperial Forces (AIF) for the Second World War.

The series is controlled by AIF service numbers: a single number series with alphabetic regional prefixes (based on place of enlistment) and an X prefix (indicating enlistment in the AIF). Additional 'F' prefixes were used for female enlistees.

Regional alphabetical prefixes are:
QX - Queensland
NX - New South Wales
VX - Victoria
SX - South Australia
WX - Western Australia
TX - Tasmania
DX - Northern Territory
NGX - New Guinea (used for Europeans who enlisted in New Guinea)
PX - Papua (used for Europeans who enlisted in Papua)

The Australian Military Forces (AMF) in World War II consisted of the Permanent Military Force (PMF), the Citizen Military Force (CMF), also known as the Militia, and the Australian Imperial Force (AIF).

Some items may contain folios relating to previous service in the CMF/Militia and some may contain different service numbers: that is, a CMF/Militia army number and an AIF army number.
