Interesting book and good to know that the soldiers were not people that wanted to work with the system and acted like they were civilian soldiers as they were for the duration of the war volunteers. The British wanted to have power over them with discipline that included execution, but the Defence Act in Australia meant that could not happen. Many soldiers were defaulters, gambled, went Absent without leave until being caught and the usual rowdy Australians who caught VD from extracurricular activities. The soldiers in the British view did not fit the mold for military life as they did not always salute the commanding officers. A great read to see another side of what characters the soldiers were and for everyone to read.
