- Abstract
This series contains service records for members of the Commonwealth's Militia or Citizen Military Forces. The date range of documents found in the series extends from 1900 up to circa 1946, although the great majority of records concern enlistments in the decade 1929 to 1939 in all states.
The primary type of record present is Form A7 Attestation Form for Persons Voluntarily Enlisted in the Militia Forces. This A3 size, double-sided form provides for the entry of the enlistee's personal details, physical characteristics, service number, military unit, enlistment oath, re-engagements, efficiency ratings, and statements of service over the course of the individual's militia career.
