Historical note
Germany’s invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939 triggered WWII. Two days later, Prime Minister Robert Menzies declared Australia at war. Nearly one million Australians served—initially in the Mediterranean and Middle East (1940–41), then increasingly in the Pacific after December 1941. Women served in newly formed Army, Navy and Air Force branches from 1941. By September 1945, close to 40,000 Australians had died in service.
