Note Holsworthy Barracks (sometimes known as Holdsworthy) has a rich military history that dates back to 1913, when the land which would comprise the Barracks was acquired by the Commonwealth Government for an artillery range. Not only has Holsworthy Barracks been home to many regular Army units since its establishment, it also has a unique heritage reflecting Australia's historic tradition of compulsory military training, or National Service. In particular, Gallipoli Lines, which is one area of Holsworthy B arracks, has an interesting history, being one of only a few army camps in Australia constructed specifically to house men conscripted under Australia's National Service scheme in the 1950s. This booklet presents the history of Gallipoli Lines and the fo rmer Kokoda Lines from an Army National Service perspective - a way of life Australia has not experienced since the 1970s.
