What was the required age & fitness level to get into the Australian arm in world war 1?

The Auzzie people to get into the British army..

First off, the Australian Army was formed in 1901 (around the same time Australia stopped being a colony). Hence, all of those serving in the 1st AIF were not a part of the British Army. Although some Australians served in the British forces (particularly pilots), Australia sent their own Army overseas.

At the time, there were two options for people to join:
- The militia, part time Reserve units that made up the bulk of the armed forces. You needed to be at least 18 to join or be conscripted into their ranks. No militia were sent overseas to fight, they had to volunteer to join the AIF.

- The Australian Imperial Force - the force of volunteers recruited specifically for overseas service. You needed to be at least 20 years old to join.

I believe it was 16 or 17 years of age and a lot of people ack then faked their age to get in.....i think all war is a sad reflection on the state of mind that people all around the world have but human nature is based on pushing others around and jealousy and worst of all power and money.....Ban weapons and legalize drugs and let's see what happen. Trade a gun for a fifty of coke????? When's the second coming; coming? Didn't notice any of the Ten Commandments saying -"Thou shalt not get wacked on Dope!"......Yeah PEACE OUT TO YA ALL!!!!!

There was no australian army it was the british army due to them all being a colony/dominion i forget which of the british empire

Age: 18
Fitness Level didnt matter, they were so desperate for soldiers (this is why they used propaganda)
