Default Aust Coast Guard Auxiliary

Sorry again but I was right! I just didn't go back far enough. Go to the site for the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard and look at their history. When the organisation was founded in the early 1960s' it was called the Australian Coast Guard Auxiliary with the name of the respective state - starting with the Australian Coast Guard Auxiliary of South Australia. I presume a standard shoulder title was used regardless of the state. The word 'Volunteer' only came into use in 1979.

Sorry about the confusion earlier!

Pete
