Edmund Barton, Australia's first Prime Minister, did not directly send troops to war during his time in office. However, under his leadership, Australia did contribute forces to the Second Boer War in South Africa, which commenced in 1899, prior to his premiership. Barton supported the government's decision to send troops, marking Australia's first overseas military engagement as a federated nation.
