Australia shifts to A.2.F name for overseas forces
The Australian army for overseas in Eire will be known as the A.2.F rather than the second Second ALP. The change, already in official use, aims to end the need for a distinguishing term. Battalion numbers will still identify units, and returned soldiers praise the move as a logical development preserving wartime traditions.
