November 2002
The National Archives of Australia
today unveiled the long-awaited
Nominal
Roll
of more than a million men and women who served during World War
II
The launch was the culmination of a massive effort to transfer
key details
from sixty-year-old, often hand-written paper records into an
electronic format
The database contains basic biographical details of each person
such as their full name, date of birth, enlistment and discharge
dates,
rank, any gallantry awards and if he or she was a prisoner
It is accessible on the internet at ... http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/
