The War Measures Act was passed unopposed in 1914. This allowed the federal government to suspend civil liberties and by-pass parliament to do things through order-in-council that it felt were necessary for the war.

The "Hundred Days" is a term applied to the final major period of hostilities involving the Allies, and among them the Australian Corps, on the Western Front. It was during this period that the AIF along with the Canadians, were assigned as the shock troops of a major offensive that began with the Battle of Amiens on 8th August in what was termed by General Ludendorf, the German Commander, as "der schwarze tag" or the " Black Day" of the German Army.
