Historical information
Before December 1941 members of the Australian Military Force (AMF - home service only) could join the Australian Imperial Force (AIF - eligible for overseas service). However once their AMF unit was mobilized they could not leave their unit to join the AIF. In July 1942 this prohibition was lifted.
