Apparently, to this site, Tassie isn't a part of Australia ("From Australian and Tasmania"). Also the AIF was not part of the British army, but was a separate force under British operational command. This caused all sorts of trouble between the Australian and British governments (not the least over the lack of a death penalty in the AIF and the refusal to implement conscription). I believe the same applied to the Canadian forces- can one of our Canuck members confirm/deny? Dal. |
