"100,000 Cobbers" is a 1942 dramatised documentary by director Ken G. Hall for the Australian Department of Information during World War II to boost recruitment into the armed forces.
Cinesound Productions were commissioned to make the film by the Department of Information. The original title was Democratic Army. Director Ken G. Hall said he wanted to make a featurette as opposed to a documentary film. The theme of it was to "show that a man may not have a friend in the world, but from the moment he joins the Army he has "cobbers" in plenty."
100,000 Cobbers was mostly filmed at Liverpool Military camp using national servicemen. There was also location shooting at Luna Park.
