  • Understanding the First AIF: a Brief Guide
    Last updated August 2021 Understanding the First AIF: A Brief Guide This document has been prepared as part of the Royal Australian Historical Society’s Researching Soldiers in Your Local Community project. It is intended as a brief guide to understanding the history and structure of the First Australian Imperial Force (AIF) during World War I, so you may place your local soldier’s service in a more detailed context. A glossary of military terminology and abbreviations is provided on page 25 of the downloadable research guide for this project. The First AIF The Australian Imperial Force was first raised in 1914 in response to the outbreak of global war. By the end of the conflict, it was one of only three belligerent armies that remained an all-volunteer force, alongside India and South Africa. Though known at the time as the AIF, today it is referred to as the First AIF—just like the Great War is now known as World War I. The first enlistees with the AIF made up one and a half divisions. They were sent to Egypt for training and combined with the New Zealand brigades to form the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC). It was these men who served on Gallipoli, between April and December 1915. The 3rd Division of the AIF was raised in February 1916 and quickly moved to Britain for training. After the evacuation of the Gallipoli peninsula, 4th and 5th Divisions were created from the existing 1st and 2nd, before being sent to France in 1916.

  • Emu Park Soldiers of World War I – the Great War
    EMU PARK SOLDIERS OF WORLD WAR I – THE GREAT WAR FROM EMU PARK and SHIRE OF LIVINGSTONE Private William Ahern (Service No. 254A) of the 42nd & 30th Infantry Battalions William was born on 10 October 1887 at Emerald, the 6th child of Michael Ahern who was working in the railway services and his wife Caroline (née Retchless). Michael accepted a railway job in Emu Park, hence the family moved to Phillip Street where William was raised, educated and worked as a labourer before enlisting in the AIF on 10th November 1915 at the age of 27 in Rockhampton. Private Ahern joined ‘B’ Company, 42nd Battalion, 11th Brigade, 3rd Australian Division that was encamped at Enoggera in Brisbane, Queensland. The 42nd Infantry Battalion consisted on average of 29 Officers and 1007 Other Ranks (OR’s) and was broken up into the following sub units: Section Platoon Company Battalion Rifle section:- Platoon Company Battalion 10 OR’s Headquarters (1 Headquarters (2 Headquarters (5 Officer & 4 OR’s) Officers & 57 Officers & 75 OR’s) Lewis Gun Section:- OR’s) 10 OR’s and 3 Rifle Sections and 4 Companies 1 Light Machine Gun 1 Lewis gun Section 4 Platoons He sailed for England on HMAT A30 Borda on 5th June 1916, then four months later to Armentiers in France near the Belgium boarder where he was transferred to the 30th Infantry Battalion, 8th Infantry Brigade, 5th Australian Division. While his battalion was defending Pozieres in 1916, William developed a severe case of “trench feet” and was hospitalised in England for close on six months.

  • Some Wearing the Spiked German Helmets, Or Belts with the Motto “ Gott Mit Am,” Laughing and Exchanging Witticisms With
    zgth-30th July, 19161 TAKING OF POZIkRES 599 some wearing the spiked German helmets, or belts with the motto “ Gott mit am,” laughing and exchanging witticisms with any British or Australian troops who stood watching them or passed them on their way to the front. The 3rd Brigade, relieved during the night of the 25th, reached the brickfields west of Albert on the morning of the 26th, and, after a hot meal and some rum, marched on to camp in the mood near Vadencourt. The 1st and 2nd Brigades followed. On this second day’s march they passed at Warloy the foremost brigade of the 4th Division, which was following the 2nd to the line. A young sergeant of the 14th BattalionlZahas left a description of this passage: Although we knew it was stiff fighting, we had our eyes opened when we saw these men march by. Those who saw them will never forget it as long as they live. They looked like men who had been in Hell. Almost without exception each man looked drawn and haggard, and so da7ed that they appeared to be walking in a dream, and their eyes looked glassy and starey. Quite a few were silly, and these were the only noisy ones in the crowd. What they must have looked like before they had a night’s sleep and clean-up miist have been twice as bad as what we saw. We could see that they had lost a lot of men-some companies seemed to have been nearly wiped out-and then again others seemed as if they had not fared quite so bad.

    Mines Army ROTC Battalion receives MacArthur Award, ranking top program in Fifth Brigade, among the top 8 programs in the Nation The Golden Buffalo Battalion, hosted by the University of Colorado at Boulder and including Colorado School of Mines, Metropolitan State University Army ROTC and 11 other affiliate schools, was selected from among 275 Senior Army ROTC units for the 2014-15 MacArthur Award. The awards, presented by Cadet Command and the Gen. Douglas MacArthur Foundation, recognize the ideals of "duty, honor and country" as advocated by MacArthur.

  • CHAPTER XVIII WHEN Reviewing the 2Nd and 5Th Australian
    CHAPTER XVIII STEP BY STEP. (1) THE MENIN ROAD WHENreviewing the 2nd and 5th Australian Divisions1 before they moved to the front, Sir Douglas Haig (according to an authentic Australian record) told Brigadier-General Carruthers, D.A. & Q.M.G., I Anzac Corps, that if we (the two Anzac corps) did our job, the Germans would have to leave the coast . If we could keep up our efforts through September, we should have the Germans beaten. It was G.H.Q. and headquarters of Second Army that laid down the '' wearing clown " principles in accordance with which the Second Army on September 20th would direct its first blow in this process, against the main ridge at Ypres. The application of the principles was left to the corps commanders, and, by the normal procedure, the main work in producing the detailed tactical plan fell on Birdwood's chief-of-staff, the leading staff officer of the A.I.F., Major-General C. B. B. White. To some extent, other corps conformed to this plan; and, as the methods for this and for the ensuing operations were almost identical, it will be well to explain them in some detail. The most important new2 principle was that the infantry must not advance too far to preserve physical freshness and good organisation. It was consequently accepted by Birdwood and White as axiomatic that, on the main ridge at any rate, 1,500 yards was the limit of a prudent day's advance,a and even this must be achieved in several stages. The second new principle was that, as far as possible, all attacks must have a wide front, and that, in the interval between the main thrusts, local piecemeal operations must be a~oided.~Although the front which I Anzac took over was disadvantageous for the attack, the right and centre being thrown back instead of 'On Aug 29.
