This database had been closed to public access for a few years however it is a great resource and uo to date 2008.

Although the information is readily available elsewhere, this one stop show is magnificent and FREE...................

It's like a enormous version of the footnotes in Mark Lax's Alamein to the Alps!

I thought it was magnificent.

I was looking through the WW1 flyboys.

The example left out what time his local pub shut however in those days it was probably 6PM.

Probably why he decided to serve overseas.

This one even had the family connections who fought, died, or survived.

Can you imagine how long the input time was to source & collate all the info of the 330,000 Anzacs who fought overseas!

That's a great resource Spidge, thanks.

I found both John Zupp and James Frederick, the great Uncle, that I've been researching of late. The latter was killed at Hamel and this website list the names of those in his unit as well.

Thanks again,

Owen

Awesome resource, it says that my great Grand dad's officers said he was a brave man who was willing to give up his life for others. He died of Gun Shot Wound to head August 8 1916 22nd AIF. he lingered for two days before dying.
It says he was 45 Y/O when enlisted but some how was only 43 Y/O at death He went with first reinforcements for 22nd AIF June 1915
God only knows where the site authors got that gem of information as I have his file and it does not say anything like that that I can find.

This site is an amalgamation of all government information sites/files, so the info is there somewhere.
