I've made a user page article on Major G. S. Carter here, but have a problem. A lot of internet sources say he was in the Royal Australian Engineers; in his own account he mentions being in the British Army and then Z Special Unit. I'm not sure how to go about interrogating the various military records online to find out about his service. Can anyone help please? A lot of accounts mistakenly say he was an oilfield engineer rather than a surveyor; I wonder if this might have then got conflated into him serving with the RAE?

Thanks chaps! The nominal roll shows his date of discharge as 18 Jan 1945, before his Z Special Unit Service. Is this to do with the secrecy of Z Special Unit, with him taking on another service number for it, I wonder? Jasper33 ( talk) 08:36, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
The original recommendation for his DSO has been digitised, see http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?Edoc_Id=7674537. I'll take a look next week when I'll be able to do it for free. Remind me if I don't update this. David Underdown ( talk) 22:17, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
User:Adamdaley has very kindly paid to have Carter's military service records digitised. These are held at the National Archives of Australia and may be viewed online at [4] (enter Carter's service number QX48608 in the keyword box). Thanks Adam. Jasper33 ( talk) 07:51, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
