Australian 5th Division

The name 5th Division has been used for two different units of the Australian Army.

• In 1916, a 5th Division was formed as part of the First Australian Imperial Force. When World War I ended the division was demobilised. See: Australian 5th Division (World War I).

• In 1921, the 5th Division name was revived and was assigned to an Australian Citizens Military Forces (reserve) unit, which served in the South West Pacific Area during World War II. See: Australian 5th Division (World War II) .
