 Leaders of the Australian Imperial Force

Most, but not all, served at Gallipoli.

 

General Sir John Monash

Lieutenant General Sir Harry Chauvel

In the AIF  most generals had originally obtained their commissions in the Army by direct commissioning, but (unlike the British Army) 40% were commissioned from, or after service in the ranks: Bessell-Browne, Cox, Dodds, Elliott, Forsyth, Glasgow, Goddard, Griffiths, Hobbs, Holmes, Hughes, Irving, Jess, Jobson, Johnston, MacLaurin, Martin, Monash, Moore, Rosenthal, Ryrie, Sellheim, Sinclair-MacLagan, Smith, Stewart, Wilson and Wisdom. Many people believe that better command was the result with less of the class distinction of the British Army and a greater concern for the welfare of the men.
