Why are Australian soldiers called diggers?
Australian soldiers were originally called ANZACs. Some time after World War I started, they began to be called Diggers as well. The term seems to have been used more among the Australian troops initially, but spread to the New Zealand troops as well. This term has fallen into disuse in reference to the New Zealand soldiers, and they are not generally known as "diggers" now. The term is usually reserved for Australian soldiers.The term "digger", to refer to the Australian soldiers, has a couple of possible origins.The gold prospectors during the Australian goldrushes were known as "diggers", as were the Kauri gum-diggers of New Zealand. However, there is no real evidence to support the latter.The most likely origin comes from the fact that soldiers were required to dig trenches and tunnels between their trenches during the Gallipoli campaign. This also included the Maori servicemen who, at first, were not permitted to fight but were limited to digging trenches.Another reason that Australian soldiers are called 'Diggers' is because they are the founders of the Australian Defence Force (ADF), they dug the foundations of what the ADF is now based on, and since it is constantly changing -for the good- present day soldiers are also called diggers.
