HOW TO USE THIS SEARCH FACILITY
You do not need to enter multiple facts to search for the soldier your looking for. The service No for example is unqiue and should quickly find him (if he is on the database). Surname will often return a small selection from where you can see the individual but you can also input a given name to narrow the search down even further.
ln the event you do not see any matching line items and you have entered more information that just service number or surname, try removing the othe extra search terms  first and see if this is successful.

If not please contact us so we can look into the possibility that the soldier is not on our database or an error has occured.

This website and the information it contains would not be possible without the work of our many researchers behind the scenes, descendants and friends of the Rats. Special mention to Owen Carlton and Roger Murphy who have tirelessly worked for years verifying and documenting the Rats roll, our descendant Ray Windlow for his on-going work creating the tributes and store products for the Association, and others too many to mention who work towards keeping this story alive for the benefit of future generations. Much of the information reproduced has been sourced from the Australian War Memorial records, Battalion records, private memoirs, NAA and DVA service records and online documentation on events, places and people. All attempts possible have been made to verify its correctness and that due credit is acknowledged where known to the source.
