Did my Relative Serve in these Battles?
Hundreds of thousands of Australians served in the Mediterranean during the Second World War. Some families know what their relative experienced during this often very important part of their life, but many do not. If you have a relative who served in the Australian armed forces during WWII and would like to know if they served in the Mediterranean please fill in the form below. We have had a lot of interest in this service and have quite a backlog or research to get through! If you fill in this form we will add you to a waitlist, and will carry out the research when we are able.
You will be added to a waitlist for History Guild volunteers to research your relative’s service history and let you know what they find. As this is a free service provided by volunteers the timeframe may vary.
