  1. Hi Loretta

    This info was taken from his service papers online at the National Archives of Australia.

  2. Hi Mary

    Anthony served with the unit on Timor only and due to the circumstances of the campaign, there are very few photos of the men on Timor. Most of our photos are from new Guinea and New Britain.

    This is what we know of Anthony

    DAVIDSON, Anthony

    WX12343

    Anthony was an original member of the unit, embarking aboard “S.S. ZEALANDIA” on 8 Dec 1941 for Timor as a Private in the Headquarters Group of “A” Platoon. After the campaign on Timor, he embarked with the unit, for Australia aboard the Royal Dutch destroyer “Tjerk Hiddes” on either 11 Dec 1942 or 16 Dec 1942, as the embarkation rolls do not differentiate. 

    Transferred to

    1st Australian Commando Training Battalion, 16 Jun 1943

    4th Reinforcement Training Battalion, 10 Oct 1943

    Headquarters of the above, 10 Jan 1944

    2/9th Cavalry Commando Squadron, 3 Jun 1944

    2/3rd Australian Tank Attack Regiment, 4 Jan 1945

    He was discharged on 19 Mar 1946

    and this is the only known photo we have, if you or any other family members have a better photo that we can use please let us know.
