"At a mile distant their thousand hooves were stuttering thunder, coming at a rate that frightened a man - they were an awe inspiring sight, galloping through the red haze - knee to knee and horse to horse - the dying sun glinting on bayonet points..." Trooper Ion Idriess

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE

MINUTE PAPER. AIF 245/1/329

(This side only to be written on.)

SUBJECT SALE OF LIQUOR TO MEMBERS OF A.I.F. FORCES WHILE INTOXICATED.

Secretary,
1. It is presumed that the decision of the police not to prosecute in these cases is based on inability to substantiate the statements in the reports attached to this file; for these statements, if they could be proved, would be evidence that soldiers were in a hotel drunk and drinking and this would be sufficient for a conviction of the licensee.

2. The present case however has brought to notice the precise nature of the provisions of Queensland law as to supply of liquor.

3. The Liquor Act 1912 of Queensland provides for prosecution of a licensee who self liquor to a person already drunk, but not for prosecution in case of a sale to a person not drunk at the time of the sale but who becomes drunk in consequence of drinking the liquor sold to him.

4. The law in Tasmania is similar and the laws in the other States may be the same.
5. Para. 9 of the War Precautions Instructions requires Commandants to report to the police, wlth a view to action against the licensee under State licensing laws, all cases of drunkenness among troops which can be traced to the purchase of liquor in a licensed house.

6. Action can only be taken by the police, at all events In queensland and in Tasmania, in cases of sale to a soldier already drunk; consequently Para. 9 of the War Precautions Instructions is ineffective, as to Queensland and Tasmania at all events, unlees it can be proved that a soldier was both drunk and drinking. Many cases of drunkenness will probably occur in which the soldier was not drunk at the time of the sale, but under the present instructions no action can be taken against the licensee.


GGH Irving, Colonel
Chief of the General Staff
19/7/1915

Secretary

Chief of the General Staff. Do you recommend any alteration of War Precautions Instructions?

Australian Light Horse (CMF) marching

 

Veterans marching

 

The photographs on this page are extracted from the first colour footage taken of an Anzac Day march in Australia. This was filmed in Adelaide on 25 April 1936.

The following description of the march came from the Adelaide Advertiser, Monday, 27 April 1936, p. 15:

Led by a long procession of cars containing the limbless, tubercular, and invalid soldiers, who have given two decades of suffering for their country, the procession started, from Angas Street at 10.30 a.m. and it was not until afternoon that the last unit had passed the saluting base. After the cars came the mounted police escort of returned soldier troopers on their well-trained grey horses, the Piper's Band, and the returned nurses in their bright uniforms, and the SA Corps of Veterans and South African soldiers, both finding the march a little more difficult each year. The members of the Junior Legacy Club marched in the place of their dead fathers; and then came the Imperial men, showing how soldiers should march, for many of them had years of training, and old habits die hard. The Canadian and New Zealand flags led the men of the Dominions, and after them came a contingent of ex-naval men.

Many of the AIF units were in number approaching war-time strength. Behind their colours followed men of the Flying Corps, the Light Horse, Artillery, Engineers, Signallers, 10th Battalion, 12th and; 52nd Battalions, 16th and 48th Battalions, 32nd Battalion, 43rd Battalion, 50th Battalion, Pioneers, Army Service Corps, Motor Transport, Army Medical Corps, and other units. For the most part it was a silent inarch except for an occasional hand clap, ass someone recognised a particular unit, and an occasional cheery greeting. Behind the AIF marched the men of the Royal Australian Naval Reserve and the Citizen Forces in uniform.
