▼ Despite its distance from Europe and lack of technological and industrial infrastructure Australia demonstrated an early interest in military aviation. Starting with a small flying school intended to train militia airmen, during the Great War the Australian government raised four service squadrons and a training wing for overseas service. Through the Australian Flying Corps (AFC), Australia made a small, but unlike the other dominions, distinct contribution to the empire’s effort in the air. Australians also joined the British flying services, contributing to the broader imperial effort. This thesis substantially revises the account of Australia’s role in the air war presented in Frederic Cutlack’s 1923 volume of the Official history. By using records unavailable to Cutlack and exploring themes beyond his purview, this research places the individual and unit experiences of the AFC, documented in such detail elsewhere, into the contexts that defined and gave them meaning. Through the AFC and the British flying services Australians participated fully in the air war and contributed to the emergence of air power’s importance on the battlefield by 1918. At the same time, however, Australia’s engagement with aviation between 1909 and 1918 was utterly defined by the broader contexts of imperial relations and British air policy. The distinctiveness of Australia’s contribution to the air war is therefore less than it ostensibly appears. Further, comparisons with the other dominions and an analysis of training, administration and command – as well as the campaigns in which Australian airmen fought – suggest that, in fielding its own flying arm, the Australian government unwittingly sacrificed military pragmatism for political expediency without putting Australia on a specially sound footing on which to build an independent air force in the post war years.

▼ In the historiography of both the Great War and military medicine, facial wounds (and subsequent disfigurement) are generally portrayed as the ‘most piteous’ of war wounds. Largely through a misconception that medical treatment was rudimentary at this time and men were left so disfigured they could only lead tragic lives, this portrayal has precluded an encompassing study of facially wounded Great War soldiers. This thesis aims to address this historical imbalance by examining the innovations made in maxillofacial (jaw and face) surgery during the period and investigating the post-war lives of disfigured British and Dominion veterans. Despite being a relatively new specialisation in the Western World, maxillofacial surgery produced unprecedented results during the Great War and the work of the Queen’s Hospital in Sidcup, Kent, in the United Kingdom was at the centre of its development. In August 1917, the hospital opened as the centre for the treatment of British Empire soldiers who had sustained facial wounds. This thesis does not aim to be a comparative history across these countries, but a collected history – drawing together the experiences of men who were united by their wounds but who ultimately coped with their disfigured appearances as individuals. Histories of medicine are often written from the perspective of leading medical men and neglect the experience of the patient. While it does examine the role of the surgeon, throughout this thesis the voice of the patient can be clearly heard. The Queen’s Hospital forms the nexus from which to examine the experiences of facially wounded men from the battlefield, during treatment at the hospital, and on to their post-war lives. In doing so, it becomes apparent that the treatment available was far from rudimentary, and this thesis argues that while some men did struggle in their post-war life, many more found the resilience to surmount the tragedy seemingly inherent in their wounds.

▼ The pre-war British Army understood well the importance of intelligence. Like the British Army on which it was patterned, the AIF entered the First World with only a small Intelligence Staff, albeit one that understood the role that intelligence would play in modern conflicts. Intelligence was acknowledged as an important element of military planning, but the maintenance of a large Intelligence Staff or a standing Intelligence Corps was viewed as an extravagance in peace time. Despite popular myth, intelligence was an important part of battle planning during the First World War and the amount of intelligence available to the British Army increased exponentially over its course.From the time they arrived in Egypt and throughout the Gallipoli campaign, the AIFs command and staff had access to a large body of intelligence with which to plan its operations. Arriving on the Western Front, the AIF gained access to more forms and greater quantities of intelligence. Throughout 1916 and 1917, as Australian staff took a greater role in planning the battles fought by the AIF, there was continual improvement in the way in which they used intelligence to plan and conduct battles. By 1918, intelligence was often the determining factor in how and where the AIF's battles were fought and by the end of the war, the Australians had shown themselves to be adept users of and effective collectors of intelligence. Intelligence was a key input into every level of operational planning.Anzac Intelligence offers a thematic examination of how the AIF used the different types of intelligence that were available at the outbreak of the war, or which became available as the war progressed, to plan and conduct its battles. It will focus on the different types of intelligence available to the AIF and the AIFs use of these over the course of the war.
