The 1st Division of the AIF sailed from Australia in November 1914.

During the voyage, HMAS Sydney destroyed the German raider, SMS Emden, off the Cocos Islands.

During five months’ training in Egypt, the men of the 1st Division, together with New Zealand troops, came to be known as the Anzacs (the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps).
