Cecil B.L. Lock's unit history of the 10th Battalion AIF — a South Australian battalion raised within weeks of the outbreak of the Great War in August 1914, and among the very first Australian units mobilised. As part of the 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, the 10th Battalion formed part of the covering force during the initial Gallipoli landing on 25 April 1915 — and members of the battalion penetrated further inland than any other Australian troops during that first day's fighting.
The unit history of the 4th Battalion AIF — one of the first infantry units raised for the Australian Imperial Force, recruited from New South Wales in August 1914, within a fortnight of the declaration of war. The 4th Battalion landed at Anzac Cove on 25 April 1915 as part of the second and third waves — the battalion's commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel Onslow Thompson was killed the following day.
The unit history of the 19th Battalion AIF, 5th Brigade, 2nd Division — a NSW battalion raised at Liverpool in March 1915. The 19th arrived at Anzac Cove on 19 August 1915 and took part in the attack on Hill 60 — the last action of the August Offensive — before defending Pope's Hill until the evacuation in December.
The unit history of the 48th Battalion AIF in the First World War, written by W. Devine and published in 1919 — in the immediate aftermath of the war, making this a near-contemporary record rather than a later retrospective history. The 48th Battalion was raised in South Australia and Western Australia in 1916 as part of the 12th Brigade, 4th Division AIF, and served on the Western Front through major engagements including Pozières, Bullecourt, Dernancourt and the Hundred Days Offensive of 1918.
