| Opmerkingen |
Australian Army unit messes occasionally issued their own low-denomination scrip for canteen and mess transactions, particularly during the National Service scheme that ran from 1951 to 1960 under the Menzies government. The 19th National Service Training Battalion was one of several citizen military force units activated to process and train the intake of eighteen-to-twenty-year-old males conscripted under that scheme. Officers' Mess scrip of this kind was never legal tender and circulated entirely within the unit's own mess accounts.
Surviving examples from NSTB units are uncommon — most were redeemed or discarded when battalions disbanded after the scheme ended in 1960.
