  The Aust Army Ordnance Corps (AAOC) in the World War 2 was one of the corps which supplied the Army with the materials it needed to live, move and fight. The Aust Army Service Corps (AASC) supplied the consumable items, such as food and fuel, while the Royal Aust Engineers (RAE) and Corps of Signals maintained supply branches to distribute the specialist engineer stores and signals equipment. AAOC supplied the ammunition as well as the non-consumable items for which the receiver was accountable. These include the weapons, munitions and vehicles as well as the tents, knives and forks, clothing and the spare parts to maintain the vehicles and equipment. AAOC did not generally undertake the distribution of their stores to units as the transport function was undertaken by AASC. Source: search.informit.org/doi/abs/10.3316/informit.454344815385...

  The Queensland Woollen Manufacturing Company is situated in North Ipswich on level land overlooking the Bremer River. It was established in 1875 and the factory was the first woollen manufacturing plant in Queensland. The Second World War saw the woollen mill playing a similar role to that of the First, making blankets and cloth for the armed services. During the war years, the Federal Government declared dismissals forbidden from vital or "protected industries" such as the cloth manufacturing industry; prices and wages were pegged. For the workers, this was a favourable climate to demand improvements. A larger number of females were employed in the mill during the war due to decreased male employment.
