  • Chapter Xi1 Australia Doubles the A.I.F
    CHAPTER XI1 AUSTRALIA DOUBLES THE A.I.F. THEAustralians and New Zealanders who returned from Gallipoli to Egypt were a different force from the adven- turous body that had left Egypt eight months before. They were a military force with strongly established, definite traditions. Not for anything, if he could avoid it, would an Australian now change his loose, faded tu& or battered hat for the smartest cloth or headgear of any other army. Men clung to their Australian uniforms till they were tattered to the limit of decency. Each of the regimental numbers which eight months before had been merely numbers, now carried a poignant meaning for every man serving with the A.I.F., and to some extent even for the nation far away in Australia. The ist, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Infantry Battalions-they had rushed Lone Pine; the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th had made that swift advance at Helles; the gth, ioth, I ith, 12th had stormed the Anzac heights; the igth, iqth, igth, 16th had first held Quinn’s, Courtney’s and Pope’s; the battalion numbers of the 2nd Division were becoming equally famous-and so with the light horse, artillery, engineers, field ambulances, transport companies, and casualty clearing stations. Service on the Gallipoli beaches had given a fighting record even to British, Egyptian and Maltese labour units that normally would have served far behind the front. The troops from Gallipoli were urgently desired by Kitchener for the defence of Egypt against the Turkish expedition that threatened to descend on it as soon as the Allies’ evacuation had released the Turkish army ANZAC TO AMIENS [Dec.

  • CHAPTER XIX the Capture of Hiio11t St. Quentin and Psronne Is Held By
    CHAPTER XIX THE HINDENBURG OUTPOST-LINE THEcapture of hiIo11t St. Quentin and PSronne is held by many Australian soldiers to be the most brilliant achievement of the A.1.F.l Among the operations planned by Monash it stands out as one of movement rather than a set piece; indeed within Australian experience of the Western Front it was the only important fight in which quick, free manoeuvre played a decisive part. It furnishes a complete answer to the comment that Monash was merely a composer of set pieces. But Monash himself realised that it was also largely a soldiers’ battle. Monash passed four brigades under the enemy’s nose round the bend of the Somme, with all his invariable care in plan- ning, supplying and bridging. But what an instrument was to his hand! The picture given in the histories of some German regiments of their slender, exhausted remnants being over- . whelmed by masses of fresh troops is sheer propaganda. The 2nd and 3rd Divisions at least, with companies depleted to the German level, weary with-in soiiie cases-incredibly pro- tracted effort, and without normal artillery support, constantly attacked more than their number of Germans in strong, well wired positions and captured more prisoners than they could safely hold. The tactics were necessarily left largely to divisional, brigade, battalion and even platoon commanaers , they were sometimes brilliant and sometimes faulty, but in general the dash, intelligence, and persistence of the troops dealt a stunning blow to five German divisions, drove the enemy from one of his key positions in France, and took 1 Gen.
