When Great Britain declared war on Germany on 4 August 1914
there was never any doubt which way Australia would go. As a
dominion she was automatically and legally committed; but in
any case Australian sentiment was overwhelmingly pro-British,
and Andrew Fisher spoke for the whole country when he promised
to support her 'to our last man and our last shilling."
Australia's first acts of
war were to destroy German wireless stations at Rabaul, Yap
and New Guinea, and to occupy German New Guinea and nearby
islands including New Britain, New Ireland and Bouganville.
Resistance was weak and casualties were few. Meanwhile
Brigadier-General W.T. Bridges had begun organising a
volunteer army for overseas service, to be known as the
Australian Imperial Force and now famous in history simply as
A.I.F. The response exceeded all his hopes and in three months
a complete first division of 20,000 men had been enlisted and
partly trained and was ready to embark. .
It was joined by
two brigades from New Zealand, and on 1 November the combined
contingent sailed from Albany, W.A. in thirty-eight transports,
escorted by the Australian light cruisers Sydney and Melbourne
and a British and a Japanese cruiser. Its destination was
England, via Suez. Nine days later a wireless station at Cocos
Is. in the Indian Island, signalled that it was being attacked
by a German cruiser, Emden. HMAS Sydney left the convoy and in
a classic running battle, disabled the enemy ship and ran her
aground. Owing to a change of plan, the troops were
disembarked at Alexandria to complete their war-training in
Egypt. Here they were joined by a second mixed contingent and
united as the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC)
with General W.R. Birdwood in overall command
As a part of
Allied strategy it was decided, early in 1915, to attack
Turkey through the Dardenelles and so provide a safe sea-link
with Russia. The First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston
Churchill, was sure the British Navy could force a way
through the narrow passage but the attempt was defeated
with heavy loss. The operation then became a military one
against a forewarned and powerful enemy. On 25th April
1915 Anzac, British and French troops stormed ashore on
the peninsula of Gallipoli against fierce opposition from
five Turkish Divisions. After a day of chaotic, heroic and
bloody fighting the ANZACS had established a precarious
foothold at what became known as ANZAC Cove and during the
next two days they held on grimly against continuous and
savage counter-attacks. Then both sides paused to lick
their wounds and the ANZACS dug in
During the
next few months weeks of stalemate were interspersed with
days of bitter fighting, with appalling casualties on both
sides. From the start it was apparent that the campaign
must fail - indeed many thought it should never have been
launched - and in December evacuation of the peninsula was
ordered. This was carried out with such skill that the
enemy was completely deceived and by 8 January the last
Allied troops had left Turkish soil. In this futile
holocaust of eight months Australian casualties had
totalled 8,587 dead and 19,367 wounded; but from defeat
the ANZACS had emerged as probably the best assault troops
in history. One thing they never lost was their sardonic
sense of humour and as they returned to Europe, battle-shocked
and weary they sang
"We are the ragtime army
The A.N.Z.A.C.
We cannot shoot, we won't salute
What bloody use are we?"
Those
heroes that shed their blood
And lost their lives
You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country
Therefore, rest in peace
There is no difference between the Johnnies
And the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side
Here in this country of ours
You, the mothers
Who sent their sons from far away countries
Wipe away your tears
Your sons are now lying in our bosom
And are in peace
After having lost their lives on this land, they have
Become our sons as well
M. KEMAL ATATURK, 1934
(The founder of Turkish Republic |
