WW1 Australian Army Officer
I am hoping someone might have knowledge of WW1 Australian Army officers uniforms.
In a photograph my officer has a brown/khaki lanyard on left shoulder. Also MM received as Sgt. No other shoulder patches are visible on high res. I believe the different colours of the lanyard represents either infantry, artillery etc.
(Google no help)
Thanks

WW1 Australian Army officer
This officer enrolled under an alias as he was wanted by police in England, then Queensland and NSW.
I have fully researched his family history under his correct name, but of course cannot access his AIF service record as he used an alias. I think this photo below was taken c 1917 on leave in London with his mother and sister.

As you can see from his photo below as a Sgt (AIF rising sun on his cap) he was awarded MM.
