Talk:First Australian Imperial Force

message: I've just revised the first section to change a statement that the AIF mainly depended on the British for logistical support to state that it was largely self-sustaining. While Kuring's book is excellent, it's focused on the infantry, and I think that Wilson makes a convincing case for his argument that the notion that the AIF was essentially "all teeth, no tail" is a myth (though he does probably over-egg things a bit himself).

message: I'd like to add the following as a note on the numbers of Indigenous Australians in the AIF, but can't get the code to work:
:As examples of the differing estimates,  states that "approximately 400 to 500 Aboriginal soldiers served as enlisted soldiers"; the Australian War Memorial states that "over 1,300 of Australia’s Indigenous population, are known to have enlisted"<ref> and the Anzac Centenary Victoria website gives a figure of "between 800 and 1,000". </ref>  
Can anyone help? (I think that having references-within-a-reference is the problem here) Nick-D (talk) 06:22, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: G'day, Nick, I find using  usually works. I have an example here: 39th Battalion (Australia). Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 06:34, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

message: I have searched the article to find the total number of the losses of the 1st AIF. 
Does someone have reliable sources / figures ?  
Imo, it would be worth an own section 'losses' in the article.  The official site https://www.awm.gov.au says From a population of fewer than five million, 416,809 men enlisted, of whom more than 60,000 were killed and 156,000 wounded, gassed, or taken prisoner.

message: are you interested in progressing this article to A-class (and FA?). I think that it's pretty much at A-class status as is, and could be developed to FA status with some further work - which of course would be a good way to mark the centenary of the war. Nick-D (talk) 00:31, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure. I haven't looked at it for a while, but it looks pretty good. Is there anything that you think needs further work? Hawkeye7 (talk) 01:14, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  G'day gents. By all means I'd be happy to assist with this where I can. Anotherclown (talk) 04:16, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I will also try to help out, but I'm afraid I'm not in a position to write much at the moment (call it a severe case of ennui maybe). Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 05:30, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
