Portrait of unidentified member of the 4th Division wearing a gas respirator bag around his neck. Interesting thing about the Australians: they sent five divisions to France during the Great War or about 300,000 men. However, the Australians voted against a draft in October 1916 and again in December 1917. As men in those divisions were eliminated, the men were not replaced and those divisions became hors de combat.
