On November 25, 1915 men from Nowra and places south began entering camp at the Nowra Showground as they were to take part in the Waratahs 'Cooee' recruiting march to Sydney. On December 18, 1915 the 116 strong South Coast Waratahs concluded their 'Cooee' march from Nowra to Sydney when they made their patriotic entry in rain and mud. They were welcomed by the Premier, Hon. W. A. Holman MLA and then left for the Liverpool Camp for training and overseas service.
