This was an interesting month as the first of the troop ships which left England in Dec. 1918 arrived in Australia. To add more drama, the Spanish flu was in full flight and the troop ships were placed in quarantine wherever they went. Some ships were trying to offload all the troops in Melbourne, but they refused to disembark as they could not get to Sydney (or Brisbane) any other way since the NSW Govt. had suspended all railway services to try and reduce the spread of the flu.

Returning troops were allowed to keep their tin helmet from their equipment as a souvenir, but if you had lost yours, then a replacement was not provided.

Another note in the papers said that the troops had signed up for the duration of the war plus four months. Of course, (as Governments are prone to do), the Govt. of the day had said that troops could be kept in the forces longer than the four months if they deemed it necessary, and there was an uproar about this.
