This descriptor encompasses all elements of the Australian Army in WW2, less the Second AIF, which was raised explicitly for overseas service. The Militia (CMF) was tasked with Homeland Defence and service in specified Australian Territories, into which eligible males were drafted. Many transferred from there to the RAAF and the 2nd AIF. The Volunteer Defence Corps (VDC) was a volunteer force patterned on the UK Home Guard mainly comprising veterans of WW1. Garrison Battalions were also raised, as were Labour Companies which performed construction tasks.

'At BROODSEINDE RIDGE East of YPRES this stretcher Bearer was assisting in clearing wounded under the most difficult and trying conditions from 4th to 9th October, 1917. Owing to the severe weather the mud was in places over the knees of the bearers and the route was shelled severely during the greater part of the time. On 9th October he took a squad from the R.A.P. under heavy shell, rifle and machine gun fire for 600 yards to find a Regtl. Stretcher Bearer who had been previously sniped, and dressed and brought him safely to cover. He set a most inspiring example of cheerfulness and devotion to duty.'

"That just reminds me of a yarn," he said; And look for the body of Lofty Lane He had a thousand yarns inside his head. They waited for him, ready with their mirth And creeping smiles, - then suddenly turned pale, Grew still, and gazed upon the earth. They heard no tale. No further word was said. And with his untold fun, Half leaning on his gun, They left him - dead.

Details from his recommendation for the award of the Distinguished Conduct Medal at Bckingham Palace April 1917: "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty.  He made a daring reconnaissance, and led raiding parties across "No Man's Land" to the point of assembly.  Later he carried five wounded men back to a place of safety". Extract from the History of the 43rd Battalion  by Capt E.J. Collyer, MC and Lieut BH. Richardson - P232 "To know him was to like and admire him.  His buoyant, sunny nature pulled the slow along in times of stress and hardship. As a scout and raid leader, he had no equal in the battalion Thus died one of the finest specimens of the Australian soldier ever to set foot in France". He was killed during the period of small scale raids seizing German forward posts and pushing their font line back in what was called 'Peaceful Penetration", for which the AIF became renowned, in the months preceding the great attack on the 8th August 1918. He was initially buried in the field "In the shadow of the Monastery in the heart of Bois l'Abbe, just west of Villers".  He was later re-interred at the Adelaide Cemetery, in Villers Bretonneux."

Lloyd Maundrell, flew as a Captain for Ansett Flying Boats. Lloyd became very well known to Sydneysiders thanks to 2UE Radio Announcer Gary O’Callaghan who, with his “imaginary” friend Sammy Sparrow, used to announce the arrival of Ansett Flying Boats as they flew into Rose Bay, almost always it seemed with Captain Maundrell at the controls ! Ironically, Gary O’Callaghan’s son became a Seaplane Pilot himself, flying for the late Vic Walton. http://www.aviationwriter.org/221614437
