When the First World War ended in November 1918,thousands of Australian servicemen were in Europe as members of the First Australian Imperial Force (AIF) and many remained until the spring of 1919. In England,a new first-class cricket season was planned,the first since 1914,and an idea that came to fruition was the formation of an Australian touring side made up of servicemen. Agreement was reached with the Australian Corps HQ in London,commanded by Field Marshal William Birdwood,1st Baron Birdwood,and the Australian Imperial Force Touring XI was formed,initially under the captaincy of pre-war Test player Charlie Kelleway. Kelleway departed after only six matches following a dispute about the fixtures list. A players' meeting elected future Test player Herbie Collins as team captain for the remainder of the tour,despite the fact that Collins' military rank was lance corporal and there were seven officers in the party. The bulk of the team remained intact for nearly nine months from May 1919,playing 33 matches in Great Britain,ten in South Africa on their way home and then another three in Australia itself before disbanding in February 1920. Of the 46 matches,39 are adjudged first-class and the team had only four defeats,all of these in England. The players lived on their army pay and all profits from gate money went to an AIF Sports Control Board.
