2015 20c Australia Remembers Coo-ee March Uncirculated Coin

On the morning of Sunday 10 October 1915, 26 men began marching from their hometown of Gilgandra towards Sydney, to join the Australian Imperial Force (AIF). This gesture spoke for a nation that wished so emphatically to contribute to Commonwealth efforts in the First World War, which was being fought across the globe. The Coo-ees as they became known had increased in number to 263 by the time they had covered the 320 miles to arrive in Sydney and enlist, their youthful enthusiasm encouraging many men to answer the call from the Dardanelles along the way.
