Notes

An application (MT1486/1, Buckland William) to join the Australian Imperial Force (2 folios) is held in Melbourne. It is a single folio printed on the front and rear, containing details such as the subject's full name, occupation, age, current address, date of enlistment, height and chest measurements, and the results of medical examination.

It implies that William was either rejected, discharged while still in training, or went on to serve within Australia only [usually as depot troops or camp guards]. The most common reason for rejection is on medical grounds.

Given the lack of other information it is highly likely that he failed the initial medical assessment.
