  • Gallipoli Campaign
    tHe GaLlIpOlI CaMpAiGn The Gallipoli Campaign was an attack on the Gallipoli peninsula during World War I, between 25 April 1915 and 9 January 1916. The Gallipoli peninsula was an important tactical position during World War I. The British War Council suggested that Germany could be defeated by attacks on her allies, Austria, Hungary and Turkey. The Allied forces of the British Empire (including Australia and New Zealand) aimed to force a passage through the Dardanelles Strait and capture the Turkish capital, Constantinople. At dawn on 25 April 1915, Anzac assault troops landed north of Gaba Tepe, at what became known as Anzac Cove, while the British forces landed at Cape Helles on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The campaign was a brave but costly failure. By December 1915 plans were drawn up to evacuate the entire force from Gallipoli. On 19 and 20 December, the evacuation of over 142,000 men from Anzac Cove commenced and was completed three weeks later with minimal casualties. In total, the whole Gallipoli campaign caused 26,111 Australian casualties, including 8,141 deaths. Since 1916 the anniversary of the landings on 25 April has been commemorated as Anzac Day, becoming one of the most important national celebrations in Australia and New Zealand. tHe GaLlIpOlI CaMpAiGn The Gallipoli Campaign was an attack on the Gallipoli peninsula during World War I, between 25 April 1915 and 9 January 1916.

  • “Come on Lads”
    “COME ON LADS” ON “COME “COME ON LADS” Old Wesley Collegians and the Gallipoli Campaign Philip J Powell Philip J Powell FOREWORD Congratulations, Philip Powell, for producing this short history. It brings to life the experiences of many Old Boys who died at Gallipoli and some who survived, only to be fatally wounded in the trenches or no-man’s land of the western front. Wesley annually honoured these names, even after the Second World War was over. The silence in Adamson Hall as name after name was read aloud, almost like a slow drum beat, is still in the mind, some seventy or more years later. The messages written by these young men, or about them, are evocative. Even the more humdrum and everyday letters capture, above the noise and tension, the courage. It is as if the soldiers, though dead, are alive. Geoffrey Blainey AC (OW1947) Front cover image: Anzac Cove - 1915 Australian War Memorial P10505.001 First published March 2015.

  • The Long Road to Anzac Cove: Chronology Task Lesson
    LESSON TWO THE LONG ROAD TO ANZAC COVE: CHRONOLOGY TASK Visit https://www.vic.gov.au/ premiers-spirit-anzac-prize for further information 2 Lesson 2: The Long Road to Anzac Cove: Chronology Task The Long Road to Anzac Cove: Chronology Task The organising of dates and events into the order in which they occurred is called chronology. It is important to us as historians, as knowing when something happened can help us evaluate the significance, impact or outcome of a person, object or event. Chronology can also help us with our understanding of the reasons for historical continuity and change, and of cause and effect, so we can fully understand the context of an historical event, in this case the Gallipoli campaign. Task One: Flow Chart The statements below, which outline the ANZAC troops’ road to Gallipoli, are all jumbled. Using an online flowchart tool or pen and paper, create a flowchart that shows the events in the correct order. [Hint: You will need to read each statement carefully to be able to work out the correct order. Use the dates to help you and then you will need to infer the order by examining each statement logically. You have enough information on this page to work out the correct chronology.] 01 March 22 1915, the Gallipoli offensive is being planned. 02 When off duty, according to historian Charles Bean, ‘to many a young Australian [being in Cairo] seemed a place for unlimited holiday.’ 03 Troops disembarked in Alexandria on 3 December and proceeded to their camp in Cairo, near the Pyramids of Giza.

  • Australia's Joint Approach Past, Present and Future
    Australia’s Joint Approach Past, Present and Future Joint Studies Paper Series No. 1 Tim McKenna & Tim McKay This page is intentionally blank AUSTRALIA’S JOINT APPROACH PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE by Tim McKenna & Tim McKay Foreword Welcome to Defence’s Joint Studies Paper Series, launched as we continue the strategic shift towards the Australian Defence Force (ADF) being a more integrated joint force. This series aims to broaden and deepen our ideas about joint and focus our vision through a single warfighting lens. The ADF’s activities have not existed this coherently in the joint context for quite some time. With the innovative ideas presented in these pages and those of future submissions, we are aiming to provoke debate on strategy-led and evidence-based ideas for the potent, agile and capable joint future force. The simple nature of ‘joint’—‘shared, held, or made by two or more together’—means it cannot occur in splendid isolation. We need to draw on experts and information sources both from within the Department of Defence and beyond; from Core Agencies, academia, industry and our allied partners. You are the experts within your domains; we respect that, and need your engagement to tell a full story. We encourage the submission of detailed research papers examining the elements of Australian Defence ‘jointness’—officially defined as ‘activities, operations and organisations in which elements of at least two Services participate’, and which is reliant upon support from the Australian Public Service, industry and other government agencies. This series expands on the success of the three Services, which have each published research papers that have enhanced ADF understanding and practice in the sea, land, air and space domains.

  • ANZAC Day Simon Moss What Are We Remembering?
    14 field report/issue ANZAC Day Simon Moss What are we remembering? As I flicked through media coverage of ANZAC Day from recent years, I felt proud to think of myself as an Australian. The pages and airwaves were filled with inspiring stories of bravery and courage from those who had offered themselves up for a greater cause, some paying the ultimate price. April 25, the anniversary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli, has come to be a day of commemoration and remembrance for those who fought and died for Australia. This year’, ANZAC Day stood to take on even more significance, with active troops stationed in Iraq, and the dawn of a new era following the passing away last year of the last ANZAC veteran. And so, early on a cool autumn morning, twenty thousand Melburnians gathered at the Shrine of Remembrance for the Dawn Service, myself amongst them. Scanning faces in the dim predawn light, I was taken aback to see how many young people, our age, who were at the service. And listening to the simple yet profound words of the service, I wondered, “Why is ANZAC day important? What are we remembering?” A simple answer came to mind - remembering those who died for their country. But that seemed too simple, these wars are long past. There had to be something more, something greater than the memory of single people, an idea that would span generations and bring people together. The ANZAC spirit. In context, the Anzac spirit emerges from a disastrous military campaign that started in a hail of bullets from above, as the troops were landed at the base of the cliffs of Ari Burnu, instead of the beaches to the south.

  • 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.
