This Bunnykins depicts a time in 1915 when recruiting committees were formed in nearly every town throughout Australia to get men to enlist into the army. In the central west of New South Wales a movement began which became known as the 'Gilgandra snowball'. Twenty or so men who were determined to enlist started a march to Sydney, gathering other recruits along the way. They numbered about 300 by the time they reached Sydney. This became known as the Coo-ee March.
