Whats in a postwar Army service record?
Army personnel files, or dossiers, are created at the time of discharge by amalgamating several smaller files and documents. The records generally contain documents detailing awards, badges, conduct, compensation, discharge, enlistment, injury, medals, posting and movement, promotion, trade and training. In addition the dossier contains correspondence between the individual or the individual’s relatives and the Army after the service person left the defence force.
