Australian Military Registration C7120

[Tony Smith]

C7120 will be found in AWM 126-05. Next time I'm there I will check it out, but if someone gets there before me, that's the book to look for.

The number of documents and references the AWM Research Centre holds is bordering on the massive, ranging from personal diaries and letters through to Battalion War Diaries and Official Histories. I can understand the need to pre-request documents as some are now stored off site, but sometimes you will find info that will need to be checked in another source, and the trail goes cold because that reference is not at hand. For possible example, you might find that 7120 has a cross reference to an AIF number and you want to look at that, but the book is held off site. AIF registrations are in AWM 126-01, -02, -03, -04.

Just the vehicle registration details alone covers 27 books and nearly 200,000 vehicles. This would be a huge task to digitise from a hand written ledger with lots of scrawled notations.
