Returned Soldier Settlement Miscellaneous Files 1916-1939

The New South Wales, Returned Soldier Settlement Miscellaneous Files 1916-1939 were transcribed from records relating to ex-servicemen’s applications for financial assistance as part of a soldier settlement scheme following the First World War. These records were indexed, by volunteers from the State Records Authority of New South Wales, from two boxes of qualification certificates. Qualification certificates were completed by returned soldiers when they were applying for land, to declare their status as an ex-serviceman and show that they were eligible for land according to the New South Wales soldier settlement scheme.
