The information contained in these brief case studies is from a variety of sources including those held at State Records of New South Wales and the returned soldiers’ digitised personnel files held by the National Archives of Australia.  The case studies are often incomplete and the information generally dates to the early 1930s. This is a ‘work in progress’ with 176 case studies now loaded online. There were over 9000 soldier settlers in New South Wales and this tiny sample has been extracted from our voluminous files. If descendants of the subjects in these case studies would like to supply more information, or a WWI portrait picture, we invite you to contact us and we will gladly update the biographical notes.
