Western Australia Prefactory.

Western Australia despatched six Contingents to the war, besides her quota of the Commonwealth Contingents. The first three, consisting of one Company each, were paid by the Colonial Government; the remainder by the Imperial ; and horses and saddlery were provided, as well as (in the earlier Contingents) regimental transport.
