WWI: Australian soldiers in Egypt

WWI Soldiers - Australian soldiers in Egypt

28 September 1915 - Battle of Es Sinn - Part of the Mesopotamian Campaign - Middle Eastern theatre of World War - Australian Diggers of the Imperial Camel Corps

World War I may have ended in but the violence it triggered in the Middle East still hasn't come to an end. Arbitrary borders drawn by self-interested imperial powers have left a legacy that the region has not been able to overcome.

Many stories surround WWI legends but one you don't often hear is about the role animals played. Pigeons, cats and even glow worms made significant contributions on the battlefield.

War is hell. It's especially hellish when the entire world is involved in a conflict that boils down to complicated alliances and diplomatic ass-hattery. So every little happy piece of home helps.

Franz Ferdinand (18 December 1863 – 28 June 1914) was an Archduke of Austria-Este, Austro-Hungarian and Prince of Hungary and Bohemia, and from 1889 until his death, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. His assassination in Sarajevo precipitated Austria-Hungary's declaration of war against Serbia. This caused Germany with Austria-Hungary and the Allies of World War I (countries allied with Serbia) to declare war on each other, starting World War.
