The World War One experiences of the 9th Battalion (Queensland) AIF & Reflections of the Gallipoli Campaign.
The men of the 9th Battalion, a Queensland based unit of the AIF, were among the very first wave of volunteers to enlist for war service in what was initially thought of as the ‘great adventure’ with their mates following the outbreak of World War I.
