When Australia joined the war in August 1914, the reaction was one of excitement, especially among young men. Australian men answered the call to war with a sense of adventure, duty and enthusiasm. As Australian armed forces grew from 3,000 to 50,000, some soldiers struggled with the discipline of military life.
