Answer
I believe during the Battle of Gallelopi(SP?)
EDIT
25 April 1915 would be the common answer, although there may be a case for the Boer War (in which Australian fought in the British services). With that caveat:
Trench warfare was first used by the Australians at Gallipoli during WW1. In fact, this was the first combat seen by Australian soldiers as an Australian Army, Australia having been declared a country rather than a UK Colony on 1 January 1901 ("Federation").
In a nutshell, Gallipoli was part of the Dardenelles campaign to capture what is now Instanbul. The main combatants were the Turks and some German advisors one side, and the Australians and New Zealanders (collectively the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, or ANZACS) French, Indian, Newfoundland and Briitish troops on the other.
According to the Australian Department Of Veterans Affairs, there were over 392,000 causalties on both sides.
The date of the first landings was 25 April 1915. This date is commemorated each year as ANZAC Day, a national day of rememberance for all the fallen in Australia and New Zealand. For Australia, those fallen include those in the service of the British Army before Federation through to current casualties in Afghanistan.
END EDIT
They really were in a rock and a hard place. Truly amazing and worth the research if you are so inclined.
