![]() | This article was nominated for merging with ANZAC on 24 December 2010. The result of the discussion was merge into Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. |
Perhaps it is a really silly question, or there is a naming convention somewhere, but why does this article title have the words army corps twice? Why isn't it called Australian and New Zealand Army Corps ? There is another article of that name there - should the two articles be merged? Thanks--A Y Arktos 10:11, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
This article should be merged into the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps article, or it should be moved (renamed) to something like the "Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (World War I)". Hu 01:47, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

It seems reasonable that these two articles should be merged. The existance of two similarly named articles is confusing. I am not familiar enought with the content to do the merge, but I am adding a "see also" to both pages, so that users can find both. Chimpex 16:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, im a secondary student writing an essay on the ANZAC's. I can't seem to find the age requirements for enlistment for Australians in the AIF. Please if anyone knows the age requirements could they let me know. I would very much appreciate it. Thankyou.
Now that the article formerly at Australian and New Zealand Army Corps has been moved to ANZAC, I'll move this article to Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. But first I am fixing other articles that have links that point to Australian and New Zealand Army Corps but should point to ANZAC rather than this article. Nurg (talk) 02:09, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
There are 2 versions on this page: Australian, and Australia. Which is correct? 68.60.53.12 (talk) 03:01, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
The Australian Corps andFirst Australian Imperial Force articles seem to be about the same unit. Am I right? or can someone please explain/elaborate as the articles are scarce on information. The articles I already mentioned as well as I ANZAC Corps, II ANZAC Corps and this article all contain information for the same sub-units over the same time periods. I am posting this here as this seems to be the most active talk page. Should some of these articles be merged?
Basically, from what I've understood was that the AIF was composed of originally the ANZAC, then both I and II ANZACs, then the Australian Corps. Can someone please enlighten me? Was the AIF an actual unit? The way the articles are written, it seems as if they were all different units serving at the same time. Perhaps in the article leads, one could put "was a part of the ____" or something similar. Was the AIF an umbrella unit like the Canadian Expeditionary Force? the CEF from its article says it had no actual commander, but Birdwood was commander of ANZAC and the AIF at the same time? --70.53.177.226 (talk) 23:55, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
So what unit/commander was the AIF subordinated to then, especially in regards to the order of battle? Seems counter-intuitive to have one corps on the Western Front under a totally different chain of command than the others it is fighting alongside of. Command and Control must have been a nightmare, neighbouring units on the front having to go all the way up the chain of command just to contact those on its flanks. Not to mention the fact that the AIF was spread across continents, what's the point of a command that is that spread out.

Ok, makes sense, thanks for the clarification. I served 8 months in the Stan but was never in the same battle group as Aussies, so I didn't know they still work like that. It seems like an extra unnecessary bureaucratic level, but that is normal in the army. Perhaps this should be mentioned in the articles, so that no one else gets confused.

Does this article require a see also section that contains links to Anzac topics covered under the disambiguation page. Are there Anzac article on the disambiguation page that \are of higher eminence than others? I can see there being a place for Anzac Day and Anzac spirit, but nothing beyond that seems appropriate.--Labattblueboy (talk) 00:11, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
I have serious concerns that the image File:WW100 symbol - New Zealand stylised remembrance poppy commemorating 100-year anniversary activities of Word War One..jpg is not free use and not eligible for Wikipedia. Even if it is, I have questions as to whether it's appropriate for the article. Thoughts?--Labattblueboy (talk) 22:52, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
Including every possible battle as a see also is not the intended of the template. Because the content clearly took some time to assemble the list is below. It might be approprite as its oen aritcle in the same manner as List of Canadian battles during the First World War.Labattblueboy (talk) 07:44, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Some ANZAC articles cover both Australia and New Zealand, whilst others refer to one of the countries only (e.g. Anzac Day in Queensland and Anzac Day Act (New Zealand)). I suggest we create country-specific subcategories, and articles would then either belong into the parent category, or one of the subcategories. Thoughts? Schwede66 20:45, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
