The Australian War Memorial has a brilliant data base and can locate most formerly registered serviceman from Australia. If no luck there, if you are travelling through Canberra, the staff can assist you in your search.

ok how old were they at the point of ww1
my great grandfather was born in victorian england in 1899
making him a victorian child ha ha
i see many people fail to see when she died in 1901 there were still many victorians
it's classed as who was the queen/king when born making a person a victorian
what information do you have on these ancecters?
is there any indication they served in both wars?
i know some people did serve in both wars so you can rule the rubish out by their birth dates
write to regiments asking for information about these people explaine that you are studying your family history and would like to put a story next to each person about their life
they will be able to call up records using their names you can provide and birth dates

To be classed as Victorian, you would have had to be born before 1901, which was when Victoria died. Serving in the 1st World war would not have been a problem, but 2nd World war would be pushing it.

How old is this ancestor? If he is victorian, there is no way he served in either of the world wars, as he would be far to elderly.

A Victorian ancestor would not have been in WWI and WWII.
The Victorian era ended in 1901 when Queen Victoria died

You could try the history professor at your local university, who if didn't know, could certainly point you in the right direction. It pays to talk to the experts!
