Best Answer

The Australians who knew about war when they joined up or where called up by the government were the 'Veteran Soldiers', those who had fought in the army in the previous war, WW1. I believe the others thought of it as high adventure, and their patriotic duty. It was commonly thought they would vanquish Germany in six months, but it took six years and huge loss of life and limb.
