The Australasian military is set to expand with one regular division and two colonial divisions, and their division commanders can only be drawn from the existing forces.
Fortunately, the two deputy division commanders of the first and second divisions had made significant contributions in the war and were just right for being promoted to Brigadier General to command the newly established divisions.
Then transfer the Third Division's deputy division commander to the remaining colonial division, and candidates for the new division commanders will be in place.
As for the newly formed artillery regiment and infantry regiment of the Guard Division, their regimental commanders are likely to be held concurrently by the two deputy division commanders of the Guard Division.
In fact, compared to the colonial division commanders, the deputy division commanders of the first, second, and third divisions found the regimental commanders of the Guard Division more attractive.
