Because in 1914-18 there were no special forces or commandoes. There were in basic terms units who showed offensive spirit, and battalions which did not. 55th Brigade was one of the former, and it was not Australian, nor Regular, but made up of Kitchener volunteers. Therefore it was both symbolically and militarily valuable, and it was frequently sent in to the attack.
