In this monthly segment with military historian Graham McKenzie-Smith we look at army units that were raised in WA during the war.  This is based on Graham book ‘The Unit Guide’ which is a six volume box set with details of all 5,700 units in the World War Two Australian Army. 

Over 725,000 Australian men and women joined the Australian Army in World War Two and served in one or more of the 5,700 separate units which were formed in the AIF and AMF. As well as the infantry, armour and artillery there were engineer, forestry, farming, transport, workshop, medical, survey, dental, postal, records and war graves units, as well as butchers, bakers and leave train cooking sections.
