100 Years ago.... 3 December 1914 Units of the AIF began disembarking in Egypt. They were sent to Mena Camp where training commenced. It had been decided to hold the Australians and New Zealanders in Egypt because proper camps in England were not ready to receive them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Battle of the Kolubara (Serbia) begins. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- British Government agree to Japanese request that Australia should not occupy German islands north of the Equator. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A small force of two and a half Indian infantry battalions embarked and sailed upstream from Basra. They disembarked 3 miles downstream of Qurna and found themselves in a firefight that had broken out between Turk defences on-shore and the gunboats carrying the infantry. Uncompleted trenches gave the Turkish defenders little cover and gradually the British force advanced towards Qurna. Once they gained the bank of the Tigris across from the village, no further advance could be made due to a hail of Turkish bullets from the opposite bank a quarter of a mile away. The British were forced to retire to the landing point. Qurna lies at the confluence of the Rivers Tigris and Euphrates, where they join to become the Shatt-al-Arab 40 miles above Basra. It is the legendary site of the Garden of Eden. Qurna is pronounced Gurna. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- French progress towards Altkirch (Alsace). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Serbia: Battle of the Ridges (Rudnik Malyen) begins. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Italy: Prime Minister defines attitude towards the war. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Daily News, 3 December 1914 trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/8377462?zoomLevel=1 The West Australian, 3 December 1914 trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/2799423?zoomLevel=1
