Researching Australian military service

Overview

Australian military history overview: Australians and peacekeeping

Nominal Rolls

Alexander M. Palmer, Australian peacekeepers and peacemakers. (Perth: Military Minded,1996). Contains a list of those Australians who served in peacekeeping operations between 1975 and April 1996, together with where and when they served.

East Timor
 

10 Force Support Battalion"The force behind the force". 10 Force Support Battalion in East Timor, 20 September - 20 February 2000 (2000). Nominal Roll, pp. 93–98

Personal service records

These files are held by the Department of Defence, Service and Personnel Records.

Those who have died while serving

The Roll of Honour records the names of servicemen and servicewomen who died during or as a result of service with Australian military forces. The Roll of Honour introduction provides detailed information about Roll of Honour eligibility.

Where they served

As it is less than 30 years since official records for this conflict were created, files are not yet available for public access (for more information see the Archives Act 1983).

Official history

Official histories are a detailed chronological record of all services and all theatres of conflict.

David Horner, Australia and the new world order: from peacekeeping to peace enforcement: 1988-1991 (Cambridge University Press, 2011) Volume 2 of The Official History of Peacekeeping, Humanitarian and Post-Cold War Operations describes commitments in Namibia in 1989, Iran in 1988, Pakistan and Afghanistan beginning in 1989, and the Gulf crisis and First Gulf War (1990-91).

For further information see our guide Researching the history of a unit.
