The battle of the Pozieres or the Battle of the
Somme trenches in France had lasted for 4 months from July up to November. The battle of Sinai and Palestine started in 1917 as that was when they entered Palestine. In 1918 they had then entered Jordan and Syria. The campaign was then ended on the 31st of October. There was a total of 416,800 Australians that had enlisted for WWI, and more than half of those soldiers were at the Western Front (295,000 soldiers). They most likely signed for the reason of good payment, being able to serve their country or to escape the life they had previously. The triple Entente had more power or imperialism in comparison to the Triple Alliance due to how many countries had join the Triple Entente and eventually powered through the Triple Alliance. Nationalism was a big thing in this war because some countries were a lot more or were believed to be more superior to the other. The Australians had believed that Great Britain was more superior so whenever they went into war the Australians always went into war with them as we will always help Great Britain no matter what the case is. This is also because Great Britain is our alliance and they always will be, unless a war happens between Australia and Britain, but I doubt that will happen.
