		The 3rd Division was formed in Australia and sent to the Western Front, in France.
		The first Australian division to see action on the Western Front was the 5th Division which was thrown unprepared into the futile Battle of Fromelles, a "diversion" that cost the division 5,500 casualties for no gain.
		Australian units were also responsible for the last phase of amphibious assaults during the Pacific War: the attacks on Japanese-occupied Borneo, including Tarakan, Brunei, British Borneo, Balikpapan and other targets in Sarawak.

	John Monash Summary
		He was promoted to major general in command of the 3rd Australian Division, trained it in 1916, and led it ably in 1917 at Messines and in the battles leading up to Passchendaele, and in early 1918 led it in combatting the German offensive.
		Charles Bean, the official Australian war historian, noted that Monash was more effective the higher he rose within the Army where he had greater capacity to use his skill for meticulous planning and organisation, and to innovate in the area of technology and tactics.
		Monash's success in part reflected the tolerance of Australian society, but to a larger degree his success - in the harshest experience the young nation had suffered - shaped that tolerance and demonstrated to Australians that the Australian character was diverse, multi-ethnic, and a blend of the traditions of the 'Bush' and the 'city'.

		Soldiers came from the full range of social, religious and economic backgrounds represented in the wider Australian population, but the original intention that half the force be drawn from men with militia training and half without does not appear to have been realised even in the early contingents.
		Beginning with the diversionary attack at Fromelles by the 5th Division in which they suffered 5,533 casualties in a single twenty-four hour period, the Australians were fed in to successive attacks in which enormous casualties were sustained for minimal gains in ground.
		Pulled out of the line for rest and refitting at the beginning of 1918, the Australians missed the opening stages of the great German offensive which began in March and which was designed to win the war before the Americans arrived in sufficient strength to put the matter beyond doubt.

		There were more of this class in the 3rd Battalion than in the 1st and 2nd, I suppose because the Base Camps were cleared of everybody to fill the ranks of the new Brigade.
