VX - Victoria
SX - South Australia
WX - Western Australia
TX - Tasmania
DX - Northern Territory
NGX - New Guinea (used for Europeans who enlisted in New Guinea)
PX - Papua (used for Europeans who enlisted in Papua)The Australian Military Forces (AMF) in World War II consisted of the Permanent Military Force (PMF), the Citizen Military Force (CMF), also known as the Militia, and the Australian Imperial Force (AIF).
Some items may contain folios relating to previous service in the CMF/Militia and some may contain different service numbers: that is, a CMF/Militia army number and an AIF army number.
