Abstract
- The article focuses on the perception of widespread support for Australia's commitment to World War I and Prime Minister Hughes's decision to hold a conscription referendum in 1916. It examines the reasons behind the decline in voluntary enlistment and discusses government measures to entice more men to enlist during a period of increasing tension within the Australian community.
