TROVE TUESDAY 15th Aug 2023 MILITARY PROMOTIONS & TRANSFERS

 

These notices list appointments, promotions and transfers within the military forces of the Commonwealth. They are from a number of states and even include some retirements. Perhaps you'll discover something about one of your ancestors.  You could also try one or more of other sites such as 

                https://trove.nla.gov.au and NameSearch.aspx 

        for possible further information.

While these notices are from 1905, you can find other years to explore.

One hint you may not have thought of is that forenames have sometimes been switched around for some reason, in that Ronald Paul Smith, may have been known as Paul Ronald Smith... always keep an open mind.

You can find further information re the illustrated uniforms here
