Administrative History
The administrative history of the War Office is a fragmented and at times confusing one, if for no other reason than the existence of a plethora of independent offices all claiming some jurisdiction over Army administration.
An outline of the history of British Regiments in Australia is given in the article on Military Defence in the Australian Encyclopedia, vol. VI, p.74-77 (Sydney, Grolier Society of Australia, 1965). Two other useful papers are Brigadier M. Austin's 'Army records in Australia, 1788-1901' in Second Australasian Congress on Genealogy and Heraldry. Papers, 1980 (Adelaide, South Australian Genealogy and Heraldry Society, 1980), and Graham Thom's 'Chelsea pensioners in nineteenth century Australia' in Bridging the Generations: Fourth Australasian Congress on Genealogy and Heraldry, Canberra 1986 (Canberra, The Heraldry and Genealogy Society of Canberra Inc., 1986).
Early History
The office was first made a political appointment in 1704, but it was not until 1783 that the Secretary-at-War was made responsible to Parliament. As a result of Burke's Act for Economical Reform, the payment of troops and expenditure on recruiting became the responsibility not of the regiments, but of the Secretary-at-War, thereby rendering him responsible for the expenditure of public moneys and thus responsible to Parliament.
In 1793 the office of Commander-in-Chief was revived, and in 1794 a Secretary of State for War was appointed. In theory, the latter office became responsible to Parliament and assumed jurisdiction over all aspects of Army policy, while the Secretary-at-War remained independent and shared with the Commander-in-Chief the duty of providing the military forces required. However, the powers of these three positions were never clearly defined.
1801-1845
The Secretary of State for War became Secretary of State for War and the Colonies in 1801, becoming increasingly absorbed in Colonial affairs until the two offices were finally separated in 1854. Meanwhile there ensued a power struggle between the offices of Secretary-at-War and Commander-in-Chief.
The Secretary-at-War was still responsible to Parliament for all aspects relating to finance of the Army. However, neither he nor the Commander-in-Chief possessed any authority over provision of materials for the Army. This was the responsibility of another body, the Board of Ordnance, which provided all arms and stores except the clothing of the Army, and was also responsible for barracks and fortifications. The Master-General of the Ordnance controlled the pay and discipline of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers.
Provision of food for the Army fell under the jurisdiction of the Commissariat; the office of Commissary General was abolished in 1816, and the Commissariat then became an offshoot of the Treasury. The inspection of clothing for the Cavalry and Infantry was the function of a Board of General Officers, while medical stores were provided by a Medical Department financially responsible to the Secretary-at-War, but in matters of discipline to the Commander-in-Chief. The Judge Advocate General's Office was responsible for all courts martial in the Army.
1854-1870
This situation of administrative responsibility for the Army being fragmented among the above departments did not begin to change until 1854. In that year the Colonial Office became distinct from the War Office, and in 1855 the offices of Secretary-at-War and Secretary of State for War were amalgamated. The next step was the abolition of the Board of Ordnance, its military functions of administration being transferred to the Commander-in-Chief, and its civil duties to the Secretary of State. The newly amalgamated Department adopted the title 'the War Office' in 1857, and in 1858 consolidated its offices by moving to new headquarters in Pall Mall.
Although the War Office now discharged all civil administrative functions, military authority was still vested in the Horse Guards, and the office of Commander-in-Chief. The resulting struggle between military and ministerial control of the Army was to continue for a long time.
In 1863 the office of Secretary-at-War was formally abolished, and by the War Office Act of 1870 direct control of all branches of Army administration was vested in the Secretary of State for War.
Although administrative reform of the War Office did not cease with the War Office Act, it provides a convenient cut-off date for the purposes of a background history to the War Office records copied under the auspices of the Australian Joint Copying Project. The records filmed relate mainly to Australia and New Zealand and deal with most of the offices mentioned above. Troops in the Colonies were under the control of each Governor, although administratively they were controlled from London. Thus a great deal of material concerning troops and defence, especially before 1840, is to be found in the Governors' despatches in the Colonial Office records. In 1870 the Colonies became responsible for their own defences.

Biographical / Historical
Officers of the Royal Engineers were first sent to NSW and Van Diemen's Land in 1835. Small parties of Sappers and Miners were sent to WA in 1837, SA in 1839, Van Diemen's Land in 1852 and Vic in 1854 and were mainly engaged on surveying work. In 1854-1868 a party of Sappers and Miners were employed on special service with the Sydney Mint. The largest force was based in WA in 1850-1863, attached to the Convict Establishment, the officers eventually being transferred to the Public Works Dept. A company served in NZ in 1850-1867 and took a major part in the Maori Wars.

Administrative History
In August 1943 an Anglo-American Conference at Quebec agreed that a Supreme Allied Command in South East Asia should be be established, the command and staff to be British and American. The South East Asia Command came into being on 16 November 1943. Lord Louis Mountbatten was Supreme Allied Commander, General J.B. Stilwell was Deputy Supreme Allied Commander (succeeded in November 1944 by General R. Wheeler). The boundaries of the Command included the Indian Ocean between 60 degrees and 110 degrees E, Ceylon, Burma, Siam, Malaya and Sumatra. The Headquarters were initially at Delhi but were transferred to Kandy, Ceylon, in April 1944.
In August 1945 the Eastern boundary was extended to include Southern Indo-China, Borneo and the whole of the Dutch East Indies, South East Asia Command forces taking over from Australian forces except in Timor and Dutch New Guinea. In April 1946 the Headquarters was moved to Singapore. At the same time Mountbatten relinquished a number of responsibilities to Lord Killearn, the Special Commissioner, South East Asia, and M. MacDonald, the Governor-General of Malaya. In June 1946 he was succeeded by Sir Montage Stopford as Acting Supreme Allied Commander. The South East Asia Command ceased to exist on 30 November 1946, by which time all British troops had been withdrawn from the Dutch East Indies and all Japanese forces had been disarmed and repatriated.
