Western Australia's 1st AIF Enlistments Database.
 

Greetings everyone.

 

As many people know, I had a dream that we could have a ‘one stop shop’ of WA 1st AIF Enlistments.

That dream has been several years in the making and I am pleased to say that whilst still a ‘work in progress’ it is now available for public viewing.

Darryl Brady has very kindly agreed to host the database on his website;

https://www.bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/index.php

Over on the right hand side you will see the link to WA 1st AIF Enlistments, click on that and utilize the search boxes at the top of the column you want to use or the large search box at the top on the right hand side.

As the database is a ‘work in progress’ not all files have been completed which will result in an incomplete file. If you would like to assist with this project, please contact me.
