Australian Army Vehicle Registers AWM126
The Australian War Memorial is digitizing and placing on-line the Army vehicle registers.
 The entire AIF series, and the first few AMF series are available to view or download at: https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/AWM126/ Thus far, the AMF registers include many motorcycles, Cars, early CMP purchases, MH artillery tractors, Wiles steam kitchens and much more. No jeeps or jeep trailers as yet - they came later. The rest of the registers will be progressively uploaded as digitization is completed. Happy hunting! Mike

News
That is excellent news. Now all we need to do is decypher the scribbly writing .
The diaries are good reading too , they sometimes mention a specific vehicle and its ARN which means you can match a vehicle and a unit together . I was reading the wartime diary of a air liason unit , didn't know they existed .They described the training , using Hawker Harts or Demons ? and Wirraways and wireless sets 109 and AT5 AR8 on the ground communicating with the aircraft. A detailed summary makes interesting reading .

Awm 126
That is really good, and as Mike said all we need to do is read them. Be even better with a full database you could cross reference... one day perhaps...
