The 2/30th Australian Infantry Battalion
From the battalion’s formation in New South Wales to its service in Malaya and Singapore.
The battalion formed at Tamworth in November 1940. Its recruits came from communities across New South Wales, including Dubbo and Goulburn. In Malaya it served with the Australian 8th Division.
Its wartime history includes the January engagement near Gemas and the subsequent defence of Singapore. The Australian War Memorial unit entry gives the formation history and provides links into the collection for researching individuals and associated records.
