Three-quarters of the battalion were recruited as volunteers from Queensland, and the rest from Tasmania. After the withdrawal from Gallipoli, the battalion returned to Egypt. While there, the AIF was expanded and was reorganised. The 15th Battalion was split and provided experienced soldiers for the 47th Battalion.
