Many persons initially enlisted into the Militia and therefore had a Q number if they were from Queensland and then transferred over to the AIF while serving in a unit and their service number would be a new QX one.

Sometimes when a person attested into the AIF from the Militia  the records show as enlisted "in the field".

Thanks so much Gerry: yes I did see "enlisted in the field".  Interesting term
