How to trace your military ancestors in Australia and New Zealand
R. H. Montague Do you have a soldier in the family? Most families do. From the mass recruitment drives of two world wars, right back to the days when a career in the military was a favoured choice of the aspiring young gentleman, wars and military service have touched the lives of millions. R. H. Montague, an active military historian himself, not only shows you how to trace your military ancestors, but pro- vides a background introduction to the phases of military history in Australia and New Zealand, and explains what records are available and why they are so complex. From complete listings of regiments and corps stationed in Australasia between 1788 and 1870, their arrival and departure dates and the reasons for their presence, to a listing of available records in the Public Record Office in London, the records of the East India Company, and an outline of the Maori wars in New Zealand, How to Trace Your Military Ancestors introduces the family historian to a wealth of military records and history, and memorabilia from Waterloo to Vietnam. Tracing your military ancestors can often be a confusing task but, as this book shows, there are ways to avoid the pitfalls. The results should be both fascinating and rewarding. Ron, Montague served twelve years with the British Army before settling in Australia. After service in World War II he was sent to Africa, Italy and India where he witnessed many military ceremonies that were part of the granting of independence. The author of Dress and Insignia, he is a member of the Military Historical Society of Australia. 157 pp - Paperback - Published 1989
