References

Reference 3 reads as follows: 'Some members of the First AIF went on to serve in the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War from 1917 to 1920 and many Australian First World War Memorials are to the Great War of 1914 to 1919 in recognition of this service'. Some members of the AIF did serve in Russia from 1917 to 1920 and at least one Australian liaison officer, Captain Allan Brown, was killed in action on 20 July 1919 as a member of the AIF. The relief force that included former members of the AIF, two of whom were awarded the Victoria Cross, is better known than the forces they were sent to assist in withdrawing. Ii is unlikely any Australian First World War Memorial to the Great War of 1914 to 1919 was in recognition of this service. The German surrender on 11 November 1918 ended the fighting on the Western Front and it would be the Treaty of Versailles signed on 28 June 1919 that the Australian memorials are commemorating. --Anthony Staunton (talk) 12:21, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deployed Forces

In both world wars a special expeditionary force was raised by Australia and sent overseas. However, in neither war were they the only army force deployed overseas. In the First World War the AN&MEF served in Rabaul and an occupation force continued until the end of the war. In the Second World War the Citizens Military Force saw extensive overseas service between 1941 and 1945. Anthony Staunton (talk) 12:25, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
