Year 9 Depth Study 3 World War I Relevant teaching points: • An overview ... the reasons why men enlisted to fight in the war • The places where Australians fought and the nature of warfare during World War I, including the Gallipoli campaign • The commemoration of World War I. 4 Background information Britain declared war on Germany on the 4thAugust 1914. At the time Australia was involved in an election campaign. Both the candidates pledged support for Britain in the days before the declaration: Speech by Prime Minister Cook on August 3rd Whatever happens, Australia is a part of the Empire right to the full. Remember that when the Empire is at war, so is Australia at war … I want to make it quite clear that all our resources in Australia are in the Empire and for the Empire, and the preservation and security of the Empire. (Argus, Melbourne, 3rdAugust 1914) Speech by Labor leader Andrew Fisher during the election campaign We stand united against the common foe … our last man and our last shilling will be offered and supplied to the mother country in maintaining her honour and our honour, if we should happen to come into the conflict. (Argus, Melbourne, 1stAugust 1914) 10thAugust voluntary recruitment for the AIF commenced. 11thAugust enrolments for the 11thBattalion began in Perth and Fremantle and three days later selections began. The 11th Battalion was among the first infantry units raised for the AIF during the First World War. It was the first battalion recruited in Western Australia, and with the 9th, 10th and 12th Battalions it formed the 3rd Brigade. Some facts about the 11th Battalion: • in 1903 the Perth Rifle Volunteers were renamed the 11th Australian Infantry Regiment • the Battalion was raised at Blackboy Hill Camp on 17thAugust 1914 within days of war being declared • the Battalion was under the command of Lieutenant Colonel James Lyon-Johnston • the majority of men came from Perth, Fremantle and the Goldfields • after ten weeks of preliminary training the volunteers embarked • there is a famous photograph of the 11th Battalion on the Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt prior to landing at Anzac Cove • the Battalion was part of the 3rd Brigade and therefore the first ashore on Anzac Cove at 4:30am on 25th April 1915 • the Battalion served in France and Belgium from 1916-1918 • the Battalion was disbanded th5 February 1919. 17thAugust, the training camp at Blackboy Hill was officially opened. This became the 11th Battalion's and the 8th Field Artillery Battery’s home for the next ten weeks as the men underwent their military training. 5 11th September the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force landed at Rabaul and took possession of German New Guinea at Toma on 17th September 1914 and the neighbouring islands of the Bismarck Archipelago in October 1914. 31st October the 11th Battalion embarked from Fremantle aboard the transport ship HMATAscanius . They were accompanied by the 8th Field Artillery Battery (Western Australia), the 3rd Field Artillery (Army) Brigade, and the 1st Division Ammunition Column 1st Division Artillery aboard the HMAT Medic along with the Japanese cruiser, HIJMS Ibuki. Also on the Medic was the 3rd Field Ambulance which trained at Blackboy Hill. 1st November the remainder of the first convoy departed from Albany. Merchant ships carrying troops from New Zealand, Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania and Victoria together with three cruisers – HMAS Melbourne, HMAS Sydney and the HMS Minotaur. For a brief overview of the remainder of the convoy from Albany see: http://www.anzacalbany.com.au/discover-ww1-albany/albany-november-1914/ 3rd November the two groups joined together off Fremantle to form the complete convoy. 9th November HMAS Sydney was detailed to leave the convoy to investigate reports of an unknown vessel off the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. This was the German cruiser SMSEmden . In the resulting engagement the Sydney defeated the Emden which was beached on North Keeling Island. 15th-17th November the convoy arrived in Colombo. The Sydney rejoined the convoy in Colombo. 25th November the convoy arrived in Aden. 30th November the convoy passed through the Suez Canal. This was after Great Britain had declared war on Turkey. One person on the convoy wrote: Things look a bit queer for us getting through the Suez safely. 1st December the convoy arrived at Port Said and then on December 3rd at Alexandria. For more detail about the journey see the personal log of Arthur Read: http://www.wa.vindicatrix.com/pdf/First convoy to England from Albany.pdf December 3rd the soldiers disembarked at Alexandria to continue their training at the camp at Mena. For more detail and photos of the camp at Mena see: http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-conflicts-periods/ww1/mena-camp.htm http://alh-research.tripod.com/Light_Horse/index.blog?topic_id=1106105 December 1914 - March 1915: after four and a half months of training near Cairo, the Australians departed by ship for further preparation on Lemnos, then to the Gallipoli Peninsula. Some facts about the camp on Lemnos taken from: J. Yiannakis, "Lemnos and Gallipoli. Towards redressing a marginalised history", in Oliver, B and Summers, S (2014) Lest we Forget? Marginalised aspects of Australia at war and peace. Black Swan Press, Curtin University • Lemnos is 100 km from the Gallipoli Peninsula and was not a sideshow but essential to the ANZAC campaign. Lemnos supported the Allies with hospital facilities, recreation, entertainment, an opportunity to practice military manoeuvres (on the beaches and hills) and an assembly point for the April 25 landings. • When the 3rd Field Artillery Brigade arrived in Lemnos on 10 April 1915 there were already 3200 Australians on Lemnos, including the 3rd Australian Infantry Brigade, 1st Field Company of Engineers and the 3rd Field Ambulance. Captain Forrest noted that: "[Mudros was] an ideal harbour, well protected [and] full of ships, transports, warships and hospital ships. Warships of all nations..." (p. 144) 6 • The Greeks built jetties, supplied fresh food and assisted in unloading stores for the soldiers. • Australia, England, France and Canada established military hospitals on Lemnos. The island was used as an intermediate military base, rest camp and convalescent depot. There were water shortages early on, but the troops were supplied with fresh food. The hot springs on Mt Therma were popular with soldiers for recreation and a good wash."It is evident...that Lemnos was crucial to the conduct of the Gallipoli campaign from beginning to end, strategically, logistically, medically and recuperatively..." (p. 150) • In 2002 a memorial to the ANZACs was unveiled near Mudros Harbour. 25thApril 1915 the Australians, including the 11th Battalion, landed at what became known as Anzac Cove where they established a tenuous foothold on the steep slopes above the beach. August 1915 saw concerted but unsuccessful allied attempts to break through the Turkish lines. These included the Australian attacks at Lone Pine and the Nek. 19th–20thDecember 1915 the evacuation of the troops from Gallipoli occurred under cover of a comprehensive deception operation. No lives were lost during the evacuation.

  • CHAPTER XXIII the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps Was
    CHAPTER XXIII THE RELIEF BY THE MARINES THEAustralian and New Zealand Army Corps was originally to have been reinforced by Major-General Cox’ with the 29th Indian Infantry Brigade, which had been garrisoning the Canal at Suez. When the plans for the landing were being first drawn up, Hamilton intended to add a Gurkha brigade to the N.Z. and A. Division as its third brigade in place of the light horse and mounted rifles who were being left in Egypt. He was eventually promised Cox’s brigade, consisting of mixed Indian troops, but it had not yet arrived when the A. and N.Z. Corps left I-eninos for the landing. On Tuesday, April 27th, a message from Sir Ian Hamilton was circulated by the Corps Staff. “Well done, Anzac,” it said. “You are sticking it splendidly. Twenty-ninth Division has made good progress, and French Division is now landing to support it. An Indian brigade is on the sea and will join Anzac on arrival.” Rirdwood expected Cox’s Indians to arrive on April 27th and 28th; on the 30th he was still looking for them. Hamilton, however, quite rightly at the time, was far more anxious to use them in reaching Achi Baba while the Turks were still few in that quarter; and his diary shows that, if they had arrived on April 28th, they would have been thrown in at Helles. Hamilton did not realise that Birdwood’s Corps had until Wednesday been Withstanding nearly the whole of the Turkish striking force in the south of the Peninsula.

  • Chapter 1: Northern Territory
    1 1RUWKHUQ7HUULWRU\ RAAF Base Tindal 1.1 The first Defence establishment to be visited by the Defence Sub- Committee was RAAF Tindal located some 17 km from Katherine and 320 km, by road, south east of Darwin. On arrival at RAAF Base Tindal the Sub-Committee was met by the Officer Commanding No. 322 Combat Support Wing, Group Captain Brent Crowhurst; and the Executive Officer, Wing Commander Mark King, AM. The Sub-Committee was briefed by Group Captain Crowhurst on the role, capabilities and current operations at RAAF Tindal. The briefing was followed by a tour of the base and a static demonstration of an FA-18. 1.2 Originally known as Carson’s Field, Tindal was built during World War II as one of a number of airfields in the Northern Territory to support allied bomber operations. The base was extensively redeveloped in the 1980s and has been operational since 1989. RAAF Tindal is permanently staffed and operated by 322 Combat Support Wing and is home to No. 75 Squadron which is equipped with F/A-18 Hornet aircraft. RAAF Tindal is also intended as a forward base for deployed forces and offers a secure point of entry to the region. In this role RAAF Tindal provides a strategic airhead for the logistic support of deployed forces. 1.3 At some 30,000 acres RAAF Tindal is easily Australia’s largest air base. In close proximity to the Base is the Delamere Air Weapons Range which provides an impressive training facility and is one of only a few ranges in the world able to accommodate all conventional weapons.

  • 1St Anzac Corps and the Battle of Pozières Ridge, 1916
    1st Anzac Corps and the Battle of Pozières Ridge, 1916 Meleah Elizabeth Hampton Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy University of Adelaide Department of History April 2014 i Abstract The first major action of the 1st Anzac Corps on the Western Front was the Battle of Pozières Ridge, which was conducted from 23 July to 3 September 1916. During this time the three divisions of 1st Anzac Corps rotated in and out of the line twice, each time conducting one or more offensive operations against heavily-defended German positions. At its conclusion, the fighting around Pozières and Mouquet Farm had to its record a very high casualty rate for only the most modest of territorial gains. This thesis examines the series of operations conducted by 1st Anzac Corps during the six weeks of the Battle of Pozières Ridge. These operations are more representative of the Somme than the large attacks like the ill-fated first day or the night attacks of 14-15 July. On any given day during the Battle of the Somme only a small percentage of the line was engaged in fighting the enemy – almost invariably in the same kind of limited, set-piece attacks made by 1st Anzac Corps at Pozières and Mouquet Farm. The particular focus of this thesis is on the agency of mid to low levels of command in the military hierarchy during this battle. Detailed reports, orders and message of the battle survive in the archives in the Australian War Memorial which are in so many cases simply unavailable for other contemporary British or Dominion formations.
