Honours and Awards (Recommendations: First World War) Introduction
Honours and Awards (Recommendations: First World War) provides details of recommendations for honours and awards made to Australians serving with the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) during the First World War.
Background
Honours and Awards (Recommendations: First World War) was compiled from the Official Records series AWM28, Recommendation files for honours and awards, AIF, 1914-18 War. The files were created by the Department of Defence between 1915 and 1919 and were originally held by Base Records Office in Melbourne. They were transferred to the Australian War Memorial in 1938. The files have been digitised to help preserve the originals which are now too fragile to be handled or copied.

Please note:
- Not all recommendations lead to the award being gazetted.
- Not all gazetted awards have corresponding recommendations.
