Australian Wireless Squadron, AIF, Embarkation Roll, Roll: A - Z

Wls Sig Sqn, AIF

Australian Wireless Squadron, AIF

Embarkation Roll: A - Z

The following is a composite alphabetical roll of all members of Australian Wireless Squadron, AIF who are known to have embarked overseas during the Great War.

Each man is listed with:

Service Number
Rank at Embarkation
First Names
Family Name
If applicable, the false name used

Notes

Note 1: All soldiers’ names are linked to the specific unit and date when embarkation occurred. By utilising the link, upon the Embarkation Roll is a brief military biography of the individual. Also on the page are details and picture of the ship in which embarkation occurred for that specific soldier.

Note 2: There are duplications of some names in the following list. The reason for this is that the soldier embarked on more than one occasion. This was the simplest way of resolving the problem of multiple entries for a single individual.

Note 3: In comparing this roll with the official Embarkation Rolls published by the Department of Defence during the Great War, it will be noticed that some names are absent. The reason for this lies in the fact that when the official Embarkation Rolls were compiled, last minute absentees for one reason or another were recorded as embarking whereas in actuality, no embarkation occurred. In addition, there are other names that have been included that do not appear in the official Embarkation Rolls and yet they embarked with that particular group.
