On this Australia Day 2020 this post lists those who enlisted in the Australian Army in World War Two. Whilst there is only one not born in Australia I beleive there were different motives for enlisting to defend their country. Clearly in WW1 the message of "For King and Country" was used prolifically. In WW2 there was a distinct shift to Australians defending the freedom of Australia.
Look through the list and see if you can identify your family connections. If you know your Sivyer descendant history you can see that in the middle of the 20th century there was still a distinct geographical area grouping of the various Sivyer families.
