The coming of war, declared on 4 August 1914, caught most Australians by surprise even though there had been a climate for war for many years.In the war between Europe’s two major trading nations, Britain and Germany , Australia supported the British.
Pledgeing 20,000 soldiers for the war, the new Government watched an extraordinary rush to enlist all around the country and soon promised an increase in the expeditionary force to take the total to
50,000 men.
