By the end of the First World War the combat formations of the
Australian Imperial Force (AIF) in both France and the Middle East
were considered among the British Empire's most effective troops.
While sometimes a source of pride and not a little boasting, how
the force came to be so was not due to any inherent national
prowess or trait. Instead it was the culmination of years of
training, organisational change, battlefield experimentation and
hard-won experience-a process that included not just the
Australians, but the wider British imperial armies as well. This
book brings together some of Australia's foremost military
historians to outline how the military neophytes that left
Australia's shores in 1914 became the battle winning troops of
1918. It will trace the evolution of several of the key arms of the
AIF, including the infantry, the light horse, the artillery, and
the flying corps, and also consider how the various arms worked
together alongside other troops of the British Empire to achieve a
remarkably high level of battlefield effectiveness.
