  • From the Archives
    FROM THE ARCHIVES ANZAC DAY, LONE PINE AND PAST GRAMMARIANS One year from the centenary of the landing at Anzac Cove on 25 April, 1915 much is being written about the importance of the landing and its influence on Australian culture and history. Opinions are divided on the issue but one thing that is certain is that many young Australians gave their lives for what was, in the long run, a futile military exercise. Six young men associated with the Grammar School were to die on the Gallipoli Peninsula and it is important that their sacrifice, as with others, be remembered. D.N.MacGregor [25 April], J.F.Walsh [28 April] and H.D.Foot [1 May] were all killed within six days of the conflict breaking out. A.M.Foot , brother of H.D.Foot was killed on 22 November. This From the Archives, however would like to concentrate on two Past Grammarians in J.I.Smith [8 August, 1915] and H.W.Tillidge [7 August, 1915] who were killed during the battle now known as the Battle of Lone Pine. The battle was fought from 6-10 August on a heavily fortified plateau of the Gallipoli Peninsula, upon which stood a solitary lone pine. It was from this pine tree that the legend of the Battle of Lone Pine is derived. There are various stories of the origin in Australia of the lone pine but it seems certain that Private Thomas McDowell and Lance-Corporal Benjamin Smith were the two soldiers who brought back to Australia a pine cone from where the pine tree had stood before the battle.

  • 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.

  • Commemorating the Battle of Lone Pine
    6 August 2018 Guy Barnett, Minister for Veterans' Affairs Commemorating the Battle of Lone Pine Today marks the 103rd anniversary of the Battle of Lone Pine in Gallipoli where seven Australian diggers were awarded the Victoria Cross after just four days of close quarter fighting. This was an amazing performance, given that only 100 VC’s have been awarded to Australians since Queen Victoria created the medal in 1856. The battlefield was allegedly named after a solitary pine tree on the ridgeline. Australian soldiers at the time collected seeds from the site and either mailed or carried them home. Seeds were harvested from this tree by a Tasmanian veteran three decades ago and from these, seedlings have been grown by students from Rose Bay High School and the Veterans and Families Garden Plot under the oversight of the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens Nursery. The battle of Lone Pine was meant to be a diversionary tactic, to draw Turkish forces away from Sulva Bay on the peninsula where British troops were landing. The diggers fought in brutal hand to hand combat and suffered 2000 casualties. They initially drove the Turks back, but had to give ground when the Turkish forces repeatedly counter attacked. During the First World War, 15 485 Tasmanians volunteered to serve their nation, from a population of little more than 200 000. Of the 100 VCs awarded to Australians, 14 were awarded to Tasmanians, with 11 of these awarded in World War 1. The 100th VC was awarded to Corporal Cameron Baird of Burnie, who was posthumously awarded the medal for action in Afghanistan.

  • Australians at War (World Wars I And
    Source 6 .1 Historians use a variety of primary and secondary sources when conducting historical inquiries. By examining artefacts such as propaganda posters, war medals and photographs taken on the battleþ elds, they can gain a more complete understanding of the heroic sacriþ ces and day-to-day experiences of Australians during times of war. 6 AUSTRALIANSSAMPLE AT WAR (WORLD WARS I AND II) In this chapter, we investigate key aspects of World War I (1914–1918) and World War II (1939–1945), providing a particular focus on how Australians experienced these wars. We will also investigate the impacts of these wars, both in Australia and around the world. World War I became known as a ‘total war’ because, for the þ rst time, nations around the world committed not only their armed forces to the war effort but also their industries, resources and people from all sectors of society. World War II took þ ghting to new levels and remains one of the deþ ning events of the 20th century. It played out across Europe, the Paciþ c, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. 09_DEN_IH9_29708_TXT_SI.indd 266 3/12/13 7:51 AM WHAT WERE THE CAUSES, SCOPE AND NATURE OF WORLD WAR I? 6.1 SECTION In this section you will: » outline the main causes of World War I » describe the nature of warfare during the Gallipoli campaign » explain why Australians enlisted to þ ght » explain the outcome of the Gallipoli campaign » locate and sequence the places where » investigate the signiþ cant experiences of Australians Australians fought in World War I CHECKPOINT 6.1 WHAT WERE THE

Men resting on the beach road from Cape Helles to Gully Ravine, under the shelter of the cliffs. © Imperial War Museums (Q13342) 2 1 His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales 2 3 The First World War was a conflict the like of which had never been seen before. It touched all corners of the globe and resulted in many millions of deaths. Countless more were scarred by injury and bereavement. The war also gave rise to a number of developments which continue to shape our world today. The rapid advance in medicine, industrialisation and the emancipation of women. In the UK it gave rise to the Royal British Legion, and established the poppy as our national symbol of remembrance. Some of the most moving and poignant poetry, literature, art and music was created as a response to it. For all these reasons, I believe that the centenary of the First World War presents a unique opportunity to remind ourselves of the scale of the sacrifice, the effect on those left at home and the huge impact the war had around the world. That is why the British Government is commemorating a number of important events throughout the centenary period.
