- Welcome to my channel, as this is my first upload, I thought I'd share my first World War A.I.F (Australian Imperial Force) uniform and gear. I intend on creating a channel trailer, where I will explain my intentions for this new channel... So stay tuned! Enjoy!
#WW1 #27thInfantryBattalion
Hello , I'm a young french and I find your video " super Cool ! " This year , I visited the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial in French and it was a memorable moment . Thank you Australia !!!
Good job! My Great Great Grandpa (Private Cleveland Edmund Page) fought at Gallipoli as a Sapper and was in the 1st wave of the landings at Gallipoli with the Infantry.
Be proud of your heritage!
Thank you, you too!
Bloody awesome mate! looking slick with that tunic.
Wow! Cool uniform and equipment. I'm waiting for new video.
Brilliant and a very smart uniform i would be very proud of owning that.
This guy only has 2 vids and hes got 68 subs? must be a pretty awesome guy maybe because his 2 vids are so interesting and his soothing voice.
Looks awesome buddy, watching this two years later and I only hope you have found all the other bits you needed, hope to see another video of the full setup all completed buddy 👍🏻🇦🇺
My 2x great uncle won a MM at Amiens in 1918 with the 27th
Wow, excellent to know mate. Be proud!
I had a really good canteen and didn't realise it was WWI until after I sold it on eBay about ten or twelve years ago
I sold it in the WWII section and discribed it as having an unusual wide webbing strap it sold for a fare bit for the time so I suppose others knew what it was
Later while looking at books I realised that it would've been from WWI
I have another one that I believe is from WWI but with leather straps like the Lighthorse would have used
Bummer about that first canteen. The leather Lighthorse straps were used in WWII, but it would be great to know if it were from WWI. Fantastic anyways. Don't throw it away too easily!
There is some interesting photos of some 10th battalion scouts who were using p1871 webbing equipment during the Gallipoli campaign. I suspect if they survived and got to France they would probably have updated their gear.
Wow. Love this !
Beautiful collection you own and rock m8 for real. It'll be rad to see it all come together when you have the other bits n pieces you're chasing. I have an Australian WW1 canteen in my collections....but its a larger grey corro ANZAC Ambulance canteen not a diggers issued one. Are they blue enameled like our WW2 ones were?
yes they were blue enameled canteens
Great video. Im painting 20mil australian ww1 infantry and this is really helpfull.
Where did you get all this uniform mate? im in Perth Australia and am looking to do an impression myself. Cheers :)
I want that so bad
This is very cool! My great great grandad and his brothers fought in the light horse in Palestine all 3 got military medals and one got the dcm I do have one relative a bit distant he was my great great grandmothers cousin he was awarded the DCM for taking out a enemy machine gun post and he was my only Aussie relative who fought on the western front. My English great great grandfather was a sergeant at suvla bay and later became a lt in Palestine. I do hope to one day do what you do and get my own uniforms and stuff. Cheers
Greetings, I liked your video and wish you the best of luck in gathering the rest of the Australian kit. I currently reenact under the 5th Bn AIF as a hobby, and just thought I would leave the general comment (and by no means trying to be an authenticity nazi) that you are also missing the Small Box Respirator (SBR), which would have been issued to infantry soldiers in 1917.
Cheers David! Still plenty for me to get on this kit!
When you ger to " digger heaven " its your shout dig "
You mind leaving my beaches?
-Johnny Turk
No mate, we will host a campaign where we try and occupy them beaches for a little while, then we'll just bugger off! :)
27thInfantryBattalion AIF unnacceptable no Turkish tobacoo to you for few days.
Well done your fella.,.
Looks great mate good job
Cheers!
Good gear and clothing. You need to come over more confident to the camera. Tell the camera what it is/what you are doing. Confidence. Keep it up.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I agree with this bloke. You know what you’re talking about. If you sound like you do you’ll be going great. Confidence is key. You know what you’re talking about so it’s safe to act like it.
If I could add to that... 1st I'll say, Great video, I came to you looking for info and got alot more detail that others didn't have or thought wasn't necessary..? You should look at the camera if that's where your sound rec. Is, or you could narrate over..? A secondary light source too, you will figure out your way to do things in time .. im looking forward to your other videos. Thank you
The kiwis had a lemon squeezer type hat, a bit different from the Aussie hat.
There are some images showing Kiwi slouch hats.
Where did you get this uniform?
I shoot service rifle competitions at a shooting range using a SMLE mkIII no. 1 used in ww2, and I would like to get an accurate uniform.
I've had multiple family members go to war, such as Gallipoli, passchendaele and the attack on beersheba
Hello Wendy. My apologies for the late response. I acquired the uniform from Warwicks Militaria in Victoria, Aus. Incredible family history! Luckily, the Australian uniform used on the western front in WWII is not too dissimilar from that of WWI.
Three questions
How much is original?
Did the 4th pioneers have the same uniform?
And how much did it cost?
I’m thinking of doing one up for my self so any advice is appreciated
Hey mate, one of my relatives was in 9th Battalion. He was unfortunately killed at Pozieres on the 23rd of July. I just wanted to ask were you got some of this kit from as I'm looking for some AIF kit.
23rd of July 1916 that is
I am wondering where might have gotten that tunic, I’ve been trying to find one for ages.
nice.

Thats a 2/25th patch cobber, "shit over the ocean "
What about that blue uniform and shorts
Just updated it, cheers!
They had different Anzac uniforms
Where'd you get the boots from?
Wondering Why 27th Battalion? Are you South Australian ? Perhaps a family member served in 27th ?
I failed to mention that a family member served with the 27th in Gallipoli before getting malaria and returning to England, then home to SA. I am not located in SA, although, I want to visit Unley, where majority of the 27th was recruited.
Where did you get the slouch hat ?
I purchased the slouch at Warwicks, Victoria.
Awesome gear man! I'm trying to put together an australian uniform but i want the blue shirt/Grey green trousers. What's the best source for those??
Great to hear! What is called the 'greyback undershirt' and (infantry) 'trousers' can be found at Soldier of Fortune, What Price Glory, and Epic Militaria online. If they offer shipping, my source is a store in Victoria called Warwick's. Hope this helps.
@@27thinfantrybattalionaif59 thanks a lot!
Where did you purchase the uniform?
Are they original collar badges if so could you tell me how to put them on
Mind if I share this with my squadron?
Yeah, that’s fine.
🇦🇺🇳🇿
have you thought about doing the ww2 Aussie uniform
Definitely. Working on it currently!
Trying to put together this impression. Where did you purchase the Australian 1915 hobnail trench boots?
Awesome to hear man. All items from a local Melbourne store called Warwicks Firearms.
hey just wondering where you got the uniform from?
Hey mate. Uniform was purchased from a local supplier in Melb, Australia. If you want international postage, Soldier Of Fortune, History Bunker, Aussie Digger Militaria, or What Price Glory may be the best sites to purchase.
Cheers.
I have a uniform just like that
where did you get it from?
did the Aussi's use the Martini-Henry
Aussies used the Martini-Henry rifle when is was still a colony of Britain and during the Boer War(s), then only shortly after. Another widely-used rifle was the "Greener Martini-Henry", which was a variant with a custom cartridge. Although it was not a general service rifle long after Federation, it was used until the end of WW1.
The kiwis did not use the slouch hat, they used the lemon squeezer hat. Do some more research.
3yr old vid m8
@@27thinfantrybattalionaif59So what? The subject is over 100 years old nuffy.
No need to get emotional m8. Was 16, wasn't well informed at the time. Alot more info and books read. I'll make another video one day.
@@27thinfantrybattalionaif59 seems like you are the emotional one with all your excuses. All i said in my first message was the truth. Then you got emotional with "that was 3 years ago" lol grow up.
Maybe next time just say "yeah i know i made a mistake"
To scare my neighbours
...."infamous emu plume"????
The emu plume I'm pretty sure was a emu feather attached to the slouch hat.
@@leanneholloway6285 Correct! (It's a bunch, not just a feather. I wore one when I was in a Cavalry Regiment.) ...but, I'm wondering why it's "infamous"...?
There's poles on the side of the m7 in Sydney that have a plume out the top. Each one representing the soldiers, its a great tribute.
I would assume he ment to say famous not infamous

Where did you get the uniform?
I was wondering the same thing
