OUR ANZACSIf it be possible, oh spare my sonANZAC Day, 25 April, is a spe-cial day in Australian history. It marks the anniversary of the landing of Australian and New Zealand forces on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey in 1915.

It was here that the Anzac leg-end was born and, in the subse-quent grim fighting, traditions of mateship, courage and persever-ance were established as hall-marks of the Australian service-man.

During the Gallipoli campaign, the number of Australians killed and wounded (19,000) shocked the nation, yet much worse was to come.

During the battles of the West-ern Front in France from 1916 un-til the end of the war in November 1918, 500,000 diggers fought in the trenches of the Somme battle-fields, sometimes for weeks at a time and up to their knees in mud.

The bodies of nearly 40,000 Australians lie in the immaculate war cemeteries in France and Bel-gium; a further 11,000 have no known grave.

More than three times this num-ber were wounded, many of them on more than one occasion.

In the years that followed the

war, many returned soldiers died from poor health resulting from their wounds and the aftermath of being gassed.

As we gather each Anzac Day, we remember the fallen. Each of whom had people who cared deeply for them and longed for their return.

Reading through the war re-cords, time and time again we came across letters from parents and siblings of lost soldiers beg-ging for more information.

The return of personal belong-ings to give a tangible reminder, or often vain attempts to locate their loved ones final resting place.

This poem sent to us struck a chord immediately, and gives a stark and stirring insight to the pain and suffering of whose who sent their loved ones off to war.

The writer of the poem was Violet Bushell of Chelsea.

Her son had enlisted in the Otago Mounted Rifles in New Zealand and served first at Gal-lipoli before being transferred to the Western Front.

Despite the pleading poem, the worst outcome was to befall Vio-let with the loss of her son.

Dante was killed in action at Messines in Belgium on 27 March 1917.

Very little else is known of the subsequent suffering of Violet at the loss.

The only entry found was in an Australian Red Cross Society wounded and missing enquiry file that read:

“Officially reported as killed in action on March 27th, 1917. Mother desires to know all avail-able particulars of the circum-stances surrounding this soldier’s death, place of burial etc.”

61,928 Australian soldiers and 18,052 New Zealand soldiers died during the First World War.

They were sons.They were brothers.They were friends.Their loss would have been

sorely felt by those they left be-hind.

The tragic loss of wartime would have been repeated in tens of thousands of homes during this bloody conflict.

On this Anzac Day, spare a thought for the mother whose words were not heeded:

“If it be possible, spare, oh spare my son.”

IF IT BE POSSIBLESavior, the dread offensive has begun,

Wilt though, in thy great mercy, stand close to my son.I would commit him solely to thy care,

believing for Christ’s sake thou will accept my prayer, I do not know what I should ask of thee,

If it is possible keep him safe for me.

In this dread hour of danger, draw though nigh,Let him not be afraid either he live or die.Let him not feel afraid - thy courage give.

If it possible, grant that he may live.

If life is granted, give him strength and skill,And make him brave every hour to do thy holy will.

And if he is to fall – within thy arms, May he be ever blest and safe from war’s alarms.

If it be possible, spare him any pain.If it be possible, bring him home again.

My heart is longing so for him tonight.Lord keep him ever in thy holy sight.Help me, submissive to thy will to be

Ever do only what is best for him and me.

Lord in this time of horror soothe my fears.In agony I cry to thee, in bitter tears.

Saviour, hear my cry –Stand close beside him now, whether he live or die.

I ask the best – thy will, not mine be done;

If it be possible, spare, oh spare my son

By Matt VowellARTHUR Ernest Bolger joined the Australian Imperial Force on 2 November 1914. He was born in Carlton in 1893 and was given up for adoption soon after he was born. He was sent to the Ragged Boys’ Home in Frankston, which was a place for underprivileged orphan boys.

When the boys’ home was shut down in 1901, he was adopted by Charlotte and Matthew Bolger of Frankston residents.

Charlotte Bolger was the former matron of the boys’ home who had cared for Bolger since he was six weeks old.

After completing his schooling in Frankston, Bolger got a job as a labourer. He never married and was single when he enlisted and went to war.

He joined the AIF at Warragul on 2 November 1914 and passed all physical tests.

He enlisted as a private in the 14th Battalion.

Bolger embarked for Gallipoli on board HMAT Berrima on 22 December the same year.

He was serving near Quinn’s Post at Gallipoli

when he was killed in action on 27 April 1915, two days after the landing.

On that fateful day, Bolger was in one of two companies of the battalion lead by Major John Adams that were sent to Quinn’s Post.

At arrival, the commanding officer was shot and severely wounded by Turkish machine gun fire.

Returning fire was futile as the Turks were well concealed in the ‘dig-ins’ of the rough terrain. Twenty-seven men lost their lives in the battle, nearly a third of the men of the 14th Battalion, including Arthur.

Just after midnight, Chaplain Frederick Wray made his way up to Quinn’s Post and buried the 27 dead soldiers in the cold and dark, at the Quinn’s Post Cemetery.

Arthur Bolger was 21. Charlotte Bolger received

Arthur’s war medals and certificate of death since she was his only next of kin.

She was advised that a special memorial would be erected at Quinn’s Post with the inscription “Believed to be buried at this cemetery. He gave God’s greatest gift to man; his life.”

OUR ANZACS

By Peter McCulloughANYONE with even a cursory knowledge of Australia’s involvement in the First World War will be able to inform you that the death toll was about 62,000 (the precise figure was 61,966).

Less well known is that the “gassed and wounded” totalled 156,000 and that the sub-sequent death toll in the decade following the end of hostilities was 60,000, according to the Australian War Memorial website.

It is important to realise that the “wounded” did not include soldiers who suffered what in those times was referred to as “shell shock”.

When assessing returned soldiers for a war disability pension, many doctors rejected psy-chological explanations of war’s impact (what we now call post-traumatic stress disorder) and were suspicious about malingering.

Accordingly, many men returned to Australia physically intact but mentally destroyed and found great difficulty in settling back into civil-ian life; these men lived for the rest of their lives with the ghosts of Gallipoli or the Western Front.

The death toll of 60,000 in the decade after 1918 would surely have been much greater if these other “wounded” had also been counted.

At the time of the Great War, Australia’s population was less than 4.5 million while the number of men who enlisted was 416,809. With such a large percentage of men of eligible age being involved, it was rare to find a family that was not touched in some way.

Melbourne historian and author Leila Shaw is very familiar with the consequences of the conflict: both her father (Sapper Thomas Wil-liam Brunning) and her father-in-law (Trooper William Shaw) were invalided home.

When both these young men enlisted, the war had been in progress for two years. The Gal-

lipoli campaign had come and gone. One won-ders what prompted them to join up when they did. Horrific casualty lists were commonplace and by this time, no one went off expecting a picnic.

Fortunately, both men were able to settle back into the community and lead happy and successful lives as nurserymen/orchardists. I am indebted to Mrs Shaw for the information and photographs contained in this article.

Sapper Thomas William Brunning (No 16729)BILL Brunning, as he was more commonly known, was born in Somerville in 1895, one of three sons of John and Maria Brunning. He was a descendant of one of the earlier families which came to Somerville as nurserymen and or-chardists, settling in the area in 1866. Bill subse-quently became a partner in the nursery business that exists today under the name of John Brun-ning and Sons “Somerville Nurseries”.

At the age of 22 years and eight months, Bill Brunning enlisted on 29 September 1916 and, after initial training, he embarked on the Orontes on 23 December, disembarking at Plymouth on 17 February 1917. His training in England was interrupted several times by ill-ness, requiring hospitalization.

It was not until 8 September 1917 that Sapper Brunning joined the 1st Signal Company at Ab-beville in France. However, his stay at the front

BELVEDERE Park Primary School in Seaford was the happy recipient of $540,000 in funding for a much-needed facelift this month. The school has more than 300 students and the funding will allow the school to upgrade its learning and administration areas and other general improvements.

I URGE breast cancer patients and survivors, their partners, friends and supporters take part in Breast Cancer Network Australia’s 2014 Field of Women event at the MCG on May 10. The event calls for 15,000 people to stand on the MCG in the shape of the Pink Lady, to represent the number of women and men who will be told they have breast cancer in 2014. All money raised goes to Breast Cancer Network Australia. To find out more go to http://www.bcna.org.au/events/field-women

FANTASTIC news for commuters this month. From January 1, 2015, Zone 1 fares will apply across the entire metropolitan network and there will be free tram travel in Melbourne’s CBD and Docklands. This means that a commuter who pays for a Zone 1 and 2 ticket each day will save about $1200 a year, or if using an annual myki pass, more than $750.

AND the good news continued with the announcement that the Coalition Government has committed to building a long-overdue Melbourne Airport Rail Link from Southern Cross station to Tullamarine Airport, The link will provide a frequent and reliable train service between the airport and the CBD, with services departing every 10 minutes during the day. About 30 million passengers pass through the airport each year.

MORE than 6,600 complaints about boundary fences were made to the Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria in 2012-13 and this month the Government passed new laws to simplify rules and procedures pertaining to erecting a boundary fence. The new rules are clearer and provide clear guidelines neighbours can follow when negotiating the type and location of the dividing fence and which will also make it easier to settle fencing disputes.

was short lived as he was admitted to hospital on 20 October and invalided back to England a month later with “jaundice”. His health prob-lems appear to have kept him in England for the rest of the war and he departed for Australia on the Argyleshire on 9 December 1918.

It was a sad home-coming for Sapper Brun-ning for, while he was at sea, his mother Ma-ria, aged 52, and his sister Florence, aged 26 and married two months, died as victims of the Spanish influenza pandemic.

In fact the Spanish flu followed the troops home and it has been estimated that in 1918 it alone killed another 12,000 troops. Bill Brun-ning returned to Somerville which by this time had become one of the largest fruit growing areas in Australia. Brunnings nursery, owned and managed by Bill and one of his brothers, George, was reputedly the biggest in Australia: it exported fruit and fruit trees to all parts of Australia and overseas to England, parts of Eu-rope, Argentina, New Zealand, India, Burma, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Mauritius and parts of Africa.

During his years overseas Bill corresponded with a local girl, Beatrice Fraser, and they mar-ried in 1920. Their family consisted of twin girls, Beatrice and Lilian (who lived for three days), Warwick (who lived for 14 months), and Leila. Beatrice married Keith Dawson and Leila married Gaza Shaw.

As well as his involvement in Brunnings Nurseries, Bill Brunning became very active in public affairs. As you might expect, these included the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Horti-cultural and Agricultural Show, of which he was both president (1928-34) and secretary (1940-62), and the Somerville Fruit Growers Association.

Between 1942 and 1964, Bill Brunning was a member of the Hastings-Somerville RSL, serving a term as president. During the 1940s he was president of the Somerville Soldiers’ Welfare Committee and in a generous gesture he paid for the cool store space for all returned orchardist servicemen for the first year after

their return from overseas. Bill Brunning was a director of the Tyabb Cool Store.

In 1949 Bill Brunning donated the land in Frankston-Flinders Rd, Somerville for an in-fant welfare centre, which was erected by the citizens of Somerville as a war memorial. This property was sold in 2012 by the Mornington Peninsula Shire to Aldi for a supermarket car-park, a decision that still rankles with many lo-cal residents.

Bill Brunning’s wife, Beatrice, died in 1939 and a second marriage produced a daughter, Helyn. Bill Brunning died in 1964.

Trooper William Shaw (No. 1565)Will Shaw was born in Maffra, Victoria, in 1890, the son of John and Frances Shaw. He enlisted on 18 October 1916 aged 26 and gave his occupation as farm labourer of Willesden Rd, Oakleigh.

His father was listed as next-of-kin at the same address, but at some point over the next two years this was amended to “Tyabb PO.”

On 15 December 1916 Trooper William Shaw of the Camel Corps November 1916 Re-inforcements embarked on the Vestalia.

A little over a month later they disembarked at Suez where, following time with the 1st and 4th Light Horse Training Regiments, Will Shaw was taken on strength with the 4th Light Horse.

Letters to family members dated 23 March 1917 stated: “I am still going strong and feel splendid. Don’t address Camel Corps any more; its cut out... The new Brigade went out the other day, and we are likely to follow any time now.”

On the reverse was a photograph of Will and his two mates on camels with the Sphinx and a pyramid in the background. A second letter stat-ed: “...been for a trip to Cairo and had a rattling good time, out at the Pyramids and all over the place...”

A letter to his brother, Rod, dated 18 April stated: “...at the front now, we arrived here at 2am Sunday-some big bombarding going on over the last couple of days-aeroplanes are pretty active...I don’t feel a bit afraid, Rod. I think I will get through alright-don’t forget the 4th Light Horse.”

William’s next letter, dated 28 July 1917 stated: “We got orders to saddle up and put all our equipment on this morning, horse feed and all. We thought we were off out for a big fight, but it was only a false alarm...lined up ready to move, the General came along and in-spected us..he said we mustn’t go out short of anything, for it will be a five days severe bat-tle they reckon. I hope I have the luck to pull through alright...”

Trooper Shaw suffered a setback in October when he was hospitalized with septic sores in the groin. On 1 November, he was transferred to the Convalescent Depot and in a letter to family the following day he was quite optimis-tic about the future.

He stated: “I didn’t like leaving the front to come here , but I couldn’t ride for the septic on my thigh-an awful lot of men got them, nearly

every scratch used to turn septic. I think it’s too much bully beef and not enough vegetables.”

Unfortunately the problem persisted, and Trooper Shaw was moved to various hospitals, not rejoining the 4th Light Horse until 11 Janu-ary 1918. In his letter of 2 November 1917 Will Shaw sent Christmas wishes to his family and expressed the hope that he would be with them again for the following Christmas.

He did get back to Australia before the next Christmas, as he had hoped, but it could eas-ily have proved otherwise. Overnight on the 30 April/1 May 1918 Australians and Turks op-posed each other near the River Jordan, west of Es Salt, poised for battle.

In Volume VII of The Official History of Australia in the War of 1914-1918 (The Aus-tralian Imperial Force in Sinai and Palestine) historian H S Gullett wrote: “The situation was uncomfortable. Grant had only about 800 rifles available for the firing line.”

Grant and two other senior officers were de-scending the hillside behind brigade headquar-ters, after a 7am reconnaissance, when “...rifle and machine-gun fire burst suddenly from the whole front, and in a few minutes it was clear that the Turks were attacking in great strength...

“Wave after wave of infantry in open order, and very boldly led, debouched from the mud-hills and struck straight across the plain... To the north the 4th regiment was being forced further into the hills, and by 8.30 o’clock the enemy, advancing down the plain, were close to the Es Salt track.”

By this time, Trooper William Shaw lay wounded on the battlefield. He was delivering a message to the Australian Mounted Division-al Head Quarters in Es Salt when his right knee was shattered by a gunshot.

This happened at about 8am on the morning of 1 May 1918, but Will Shaw lay out there un-attended for several days before he was brought in. By this time the wound was crawling with maggots, but they were feeding on the infec-tion and this saved him from blood poisoning.

Trooper Shaw was transferred from a Casual-ty Clearing Station to the 47th Stationary Hos-

pital on 12 May 1918. Service records show that the next-of-kin were regularly advised of William’s condition and it would have been a worrying few months for the Shaw family back home: on 20 May his condition was reported as “serious”; two days later he was “dangerously ill.” In a tent hospital in Gaza several attempts were made to control the gangrene and one evening he overheard the doctor telling a nurse “This one will not survive the night.” William survived-and vowed to call his first son “Gaza” in appreciation of his life! On 30 May the leg was amputated above the knee, and it was three more weeks before William was off the “dan-gerously ill” list.

On 3 August 1918, Trooper William Shaw em-barked on the Karoola for Australia. He disem-barked on 4 September and was discharged from the AIF in Melbourne on 20 December 1918-just in time for Christmas as he had hoped.

When he was discharged, Will Shaw lived with his parents on the Mornington-Tyabb Road

in Moorooduc. As well as the usual problems faced by soldiers returning from war, he had to come to terms with the loss of a limb. It was not long before he made the acquaintance of Alice Lilian Reeves, the daughter of William and Eliz-abeth Reeves who lived nearby. On 20 August 1921 they married and settled at “Karoola” on the Mornington-Tyabb Road, Tyabb: Will could not forget the ship that brought him home. De-spite his artificial leg, Will Shaw managed ably on his 20 acres, and became a very successful orchardist, largely working the property alone.

Between 1922 and 1939 Will and Alice had five children: Dorothy, William John Gaza, Neville, Linda and Malcolm. The first son was given the name of his father, his grandfather, and an eternal reminder of the desert conflict. Universally known as “Gaza”, he married Leila Brunning and was a local builder; amongst many others he built the home that William and Alice retired to in Tyabb in 1952.

Daughter Linda married a local orchardist,

Bill Lillywhite, and she, too, has lived locally all her life. Two of the Shaw family were in the forces during the Second world Was, including Gaza who served in New Guinea and Bougain-ville with the 10th Field Company of the Royal Australian Engineers.

Although he suffered from phantom pains all his life, Will Shaw was never heard to com-plain. With a happy disposition, he worked hard on the farm chores like a man with both legs. He also participated enthusiastically in commu-nity matters and, at various times, held the posi-tions of Secretary of the Tyabb Primary School Committee, the Tyabb Scout Committee, and the Tyabb Recreation Reserve.

He was a Trustee of that Reserve and also of the Tyabb Methodist Church. Will was a long-time member of the Hastings-Somerville RSL and he donated to many charities including the Tyabb Hall which was rebuilt by his son, Gaza.

William Shaw died in 1970 and his wife Al-ice in 1975.

OUR ANZACS

The mystery of a Frankston recruitBy Peter McCulloughMY brief was to provide a short bi-ography on a First World War Anzac who enlisted in Frankston.

This didn’t seem too difficult an assignment: I looked up “Mapping Our Anzacs” on the internet and dis-covered that 33 people enlisted in Frankston between 1914 and 1918.

The only name that rang a bell was Lewis Cole, one of the three Cole brothers from Tyabb who went overseas, but I did a feature article on them in the 2012 Anzac Day spe-cial edition.

That left 32 to choose from. One of those was William Victor Murray Grainger. With three given names he sounded interesting. Besides, I wondered, could he be related to the composer, Percy Grainger?

I brought up his details on the computer and it wasn’t long before I appreciated how difficult it can be for an historian to track some of the original participants in the AIF.

As can be seen, the official papers reveal that, during the course of the war, Private Grainger changed his details to such an extent that he caused a heated dispute to break out between the adjutant at the camp and the records office.

The original papers show that this 21-year-old labourer, who was born in London, enlisted on 17 Septem-ber 1914 (only days after war was declared) and provided the follow-ing information:

1. NAME: William Victor Murray Ireland2. NEXT OF KIN: Elizabeth Ire-land, 29 Quadrant Grove, Maitland Park, London.3. RELIGION: R.C.

So what changed in the following few years?

1. In early 1916, at the request of the soldier, his name on the payroll was changed by the adjutant at the Australian Base Camp at Weymouth from Ireland to Grainger. The Ad-jutant did not follow proper proce-dures and received a “blister” from the OIC records who pointed out that his actions “contravened para-graph 1901 of the King’s Regula-tions”. Subsequently, on 27 March 1916, Private Ireland submitted a statutory declaration indicating that he was now Private Grainger. No reason was given for the name change.

2. At some point, the soldier’s “next of kin” was changed to Mrs M Grainger of 16 Oakford Rd, Suffolk Park, Highgate, London. Presum-ably this change was made follow-ing the submission of a marriage certificate dated 6 November 1915 concerning the marriage of Wil-liam Victor Murray Grainger (aged 21) of 29 Quadrant Grove, to Ma-bel Laura Holt (21) of 72 Welles-ley Rd. The marriage took place while the soldier was convalescing in London following a severe bout of influenza. He was already using

the name “Grainger” and his given address was 29 Quadrant Grove, which was the same address as his original “next of kin” (Elizabeth Ireland). One wonders whether he knew Mabel before he came out to Australia, or was this a whirlwind wartime romance?

3. Private Grainger’s religious de-nomination was changed from Ro-man Catholic to Church of England. Perhaps this was a consequence of

his marriage to Mabel? While all of these changes were keeping the OIC records on their (no doubt highly polished) toes, Private Ireland/Grainger had not been idle.

He embarked from Australia as a member of the 6th Battalion on 2 December 1914, returning on 2 De-cember 1918.

The years in between were spent at Gallipoli where he suffered a rifle wound to the chest (8 May 1915) and

then severe influenza (1 September 1915) necessitating his despatch to England to convalesce (and marry).

On 28 May 1916 he rejoined his regiment in France at Etaples and completed his war experience in hospital as a result of being gassed and wounded (31 August 1918).

One can’t help but wonder wheth-er Private Grainger’s life as a civil-ian was as colourful as the years he spent in uniform.

Clearing station: A hospital in Etaples much like the one William would have been admitted to.

OUR ANZACSAge no barrier to Kokoda returnBy Michelle KapnoullasSt John of God Frankston HospitalIN 1941, Alan Moore was only 20 years old – a newly promoted Lieu-tenant in the 39th Battalion – when he was sent to Port Moresby to de-fend the airstrip and halt any South-ward Japanese advance. There were approximately 1000 Australians against 3000 Japanese.

Alan attended Melbourne Gram-mar School and during his time there, attended four years of cadet school, where he became a cadet lieutenant.

It was because of his cadet knowl-edge that he was promoted to lieu-tenant at such a young (the youngest officer to serve in his battalion).

His platoon of 33 (18-19 year olds) along with the rest of the battalion sailed the Aquitania from Sydney to Port Moresby.

Alan travelled in the honeymoon suite – however it was with 14 other young lieutenants. The convoy of ships took 4.5 days to arrive at their destination.

As the battalion prepared to be taken to the campsite, they were informed their supplies were at the bottom of the cargo and would there-fore take several days to unload.

So they marched seven miles in the scorching heat to Seven Mile Drome where the sargeant pointed to a place on the side of the hill and told them to set up camp – without any of the following: tents, mosquito nets, building equipment, medications or decent food.

During the first week, without proper supplies and equipment, many of the men suffered from dys-entery and malaria. Alan was unfor-tunate to suffer from dysentery him-

self, but did not get malaria. Finally their supplies arrived.

The men spent many hours unload-ing ships and preparing defences – unfortunately when the new senior officers arrived, they informed them they were setting up the defences in the wrong place and had to start again.

The Japanese landed in Rabaul – New Britain and set up airfields and a naval base. During the day and night they continually bombed the area where Alan’s Battalion was based. Alan said they would wait for the bombers to leave and would then jump out of the holes they were hid-ing in the shoot, using First World War Lewis Guns (machine guns) at the Zero strafing planes that would follow the bomber planes. They even managed to shoot a few down.

After Kokoda, the Japanese es-tablished themselves in the northern beaches of Papua New Guinea. Alan recalls this being the worst part of the war for him. The Japanese had positioned themselves in the beach and the Australians had to walk through swamp land to get to them (more soldiers died from disease and

dysentery than from combat). Alan was evacuated when he be-

came very ill. He has no recollection of being transferred to the Australian General hospital in Port Moresby. Alan spent a total of three years in Papua New Guinea (two campaigns).

He was transferred to another unit when he got back to Australia as the 39th Battalion was disbanded due to casualties.

Twelve months after the war, both of Alan’s parents passed away. He stayed in the family home in Cam-berwell on his own, until he met the love of his life – Joan. They mar-ried three months after meeting each other, had two daughters, moved to Mount Eliza in 1955 to enrol their daughters in Toorak College and were married for 51 glorious years.

They have five grandchildren ranging in age from 30 – 18. Sadly Joan passed away 12 years ago.

Over the years, Alan has been an active member in school committees and is one of the two past two-year members of the Canadian Bay Club.

Alan keeps active, walking half a kilometer every day into Mount

Eliza Village to have coffee with friends. Two weeks ago, Alan came down with a severe gastric attack and became quite ill. He arrived at St John of God Frankston Rehabilita-tion Hospital as an inpatient, to help him return to maximum strength to prepare for his trip back to Kokada in August this year. He is participating in physiotherapy sessions to improve his balance and coordination and im-prove his walking endurance.

Alan will be joined by his two daughters in Kokada for Kokada Day on 8 August. His granddaughter will also meet them there after walk-ing the Kokoda trail.

“I never thought I would get anoth-er opportunity to go back to Kokoda, but I’m so happy I am,” Alan said.

Alan is extremely happy with St John of God Frankston Reha-bilitation Hospital and said “I am staggered at the high quality of the equipment here. I couldn’t speak more highly of the staff, they are well selected. The food is the level of a top class restaurant and we are terribly lucky to have this establish-ment in our area.”

OUR ANZACS

BOOK REVIEWBy Peter McCulloughABOUT 30 years ago, British pub-lisher Paul Hamlyn visited Australia and was interviewed on television. He related the story of a budding writer, fresh from a course at the local polytechnic, who obtained an appointment with Hamlyn and en-quired “I want to write a best-seller: can you suggest a topic?”

The publisher explained that best-sellers were rarely novels but topics of general interest. In the case of his company, the best sellers were books on Hitler, cats and golf – in that order.

Twelve months later, the young writer was back. He pushed his manuscript across the desk and Hamlyn glanced at the title: I Played Golf with Hitler’s Cat. He was not impressed.

Although Hamlyn’s story may have been apocryphal, the fact re-mains that books on Hitler and the Nazi era are still appearing frequent-ly on the best-seller lists.

The hysteria that swept Germany in the 1930s and 1940s still mystifies us today, just as it mystified our par-ents and grandparents in those times. How did a man who was an obscure failure until his thirties become the most powerful dictator of his day?

When Hitler became chancellor in 1933, six million Germans were un-employed. Within three years, there was full employment. To many Ger-mans, he was a miracle worker.

Yet his sinister attributes were always present: his brutal views on race; his thirst for war; and his ob-session with expanding Germany’s borders. His anti-semitism would ultimately lead to his downfall, as he divided his resources between the war and the persecution of the Jews.

As the persecution intensified, the Jewish citizens, who were in-variably loyal Germans and many of whom had fought in the First World War, wondered where it would end.

In Two Brothers (see below), one of the main characters reflects on the situation that was puzzling the rest of the world:

“...Paulus, like every half-civi-lized person in Germany, Jew or Gentile, had hoped that somehow, one day, a line would be drawn. That

the steady erosion of all humanity towards the ‘race enemies’ would reach its nadir. Deprived of rights, property, dignity, security. Yes.

But murder? Mass murder? Surely not. That couldn’t be.

Nobody. Nobody would do that.Least of all the sons of Bach, Bee-

thoven, Goethe, Schiller, Mozart, Bismark, Gutenberg and Luther.

Murder all the Jews? ALL of them? It couldn’t happen

And yet...” If you, too, are fascinated by the

Nazi era, there are three recent nov-els that you might care to choose from for some reading over the next month or so. Coincidentally, all three novelists have been motivated to write by an actual event.

Alone In Berlin By Hans FalladaSET in Berlin in 1940, a city para-lysed by fear, the story tells of one man who refuses to be scared. Otto Quangel, an ordinary German who is the foreman in a furniture factory and who lives with his wife (Anna) in a shabby apartment block, tries to stay out of trouble under the Nazi rule. But when he discovers that their only son has been killed fight-ing at the front he is shocked into an extraordinary act of resistance and starts to drop anonymous postcards attacking Hitler across the city. If caught he will be executed.

Soon his silent campaign comes to the attention of ambitious Gestapo

inspector Escherich, and a murder-ous game of cat and mouse begins. The end result is inevitable.

Fallada’s novel, evoking the hor-ror of life in Germany in the war years, was first published in Germa-ny in 1947. However it is “new” to us as it was not translated and pub-lished in English until 2009.

According to the foreward in the first German edition, the novel fol-lows “in its broad lines” the Gestapo files on the illegal activities of an actual Berlin working class couple, Otto and Elise Hampel. Originally Nazi supporters, on the death of their son in France in 1940 they be-gan to deposit postcards and some 200 written leaflets in post-boxes and stairwells around their home district. They were betrayed, arrest-ed, sentenced to death by the Peo-ple’s Court, and executed.

All That I AmBy Anna FunderWHEN 18-year-old Ruth Becker visits her cousin, Dora, in Munich in 1923 she meets the love of her life, the dashing young journalist, Hans Wesemann, and eagerly joins in the heady political activities of the militant left in Germany. Ten years later Ruth and Hans are married and living in Weimar Berlin when Hitler is elected Chancellor of Germany. Together with Dora and her lover, Ernst Toller, the celebrated Jewish poet/playwright and self-doubting revolutionary, the four become

hunted outlaws overnight and are forced to flee to London. Inspired by Dora, the friends risk betrayal and deceit as they dedicate themselves to a dangerous mission: to inform the British government of the very real Nazi threat to which it remains wilfully blind. Funder portrays what dangerous work this was, particularly given that the Gestapo was active in Lon-don, something the establishment would not believe at the time.

This part of the novel is based on a real-life mystery: in 1933 the bodies of two German emigres were found in a Bloomsbury bedroom-locked from the inside-in an apparent sui-cide pact. In the novel the inquest seems a sham, not so much because the Crown is colluding in some high-level cover-up, but because the assertions of the dead women’s friends seem impossible nonsense.

“All That I Am” is the heartbreak-ing story of these extraordinary peo-ple who discover that England is not the safe haven they think it is, and a single chilling act of betrayal tears them apart.

Some 70 years after the events Ruth Wesemann is an elderly Ger-man woman living out her days in Sydney, making an uneasy peace with the ghosts of the past, and a part of history that has all but been forgotten. One morning in 2001 she receives in the mail a tattered old notebook addressed to her by Ernst Toller who committed suicide in New York in 1939. The notebook

had apparently been unearthed in the basement of a condemned New York hotel, and when Ruth reads it the memories come flooding back.

Funder became a friend of the real-life Ruth Wesemann in Ruth’s later years in Sydney, and her notes on sources indicate how closely she tried to base the novel on what is known. At the same time the book is more than “faction”; she has successfully transformed the mate-rial into a narrative of individual endeavour and survival, one that ex-amines intricate human themes.

This was the first novel by Mel-bourne-born Anna Funder and won the Miles Franklin Award in 2012. Her previous publication, “Stasi-land”, won the Samuel Johnson prize.

Two Brothers By Ben EltonTHIS is a heart-rending story of two boys growing up in a Jewish family under the darkening shadow of the Nazi regime. Born in Berlin on 24 February 1920, the same day as the birth of the Nazi party in Munich, and raised by the same parents, one boy is Jewish and his adopted broth-er is Aryan. At first their origins are irrelevant. But as the political landscape changes they are forced to make decisions with horrifying consequences. The brothers end up on opposite sides in World War Two-one with the Waffen-SS, and the other with the British army.

The author, Ben Elton, is perhaps better known as the comedian who wrote the scripts for Blackadder and The Young Ones. The story is to a certain extent based on Elton’s own family. His uncle was born Gottfried Ehrenberg to a secular Jewish fam-ily which fled Germany in 1939. Af-ter anglicizing his name to Geoffrey Elton the uncle enlisted in the army, later became a prominent historian and received a knighthood.

However, a cousin, Heinz Ehren-berg, who was adopted (an Aryan) stayed behind to work the family farm when his parents fled the coun-try. He was subsequently drafted into the Wehrmacht. After hostilities ceased the two cousins discovered that they both served in Italy and at one point fought within a mile of one another.

OUR ANZACSPort Phillip guns fire first shots of warsBy Chris BrennanTHIS year marks one hundred years since the outbreak of hostilities that would avalanche into the optimistically dubbed “war to end all wars” and the prominent role played by the guns of Fort Nepean at the heads of Port Phillip in the events of 1914 is now the stuff of inter-national legend.

A shot fired from an assassin’s handgun in Sara-jevo was the catalyst that would propel the world’s great powers into the orgy of seemingly senseless carnage that would become The Great War. But it was a blast from the naval artillery guns of Fort Nepean on the southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula that would be forever recorded as the first shots fired by the British Empire in the war.

Given Australia’s enthusiastic embrace of military ventures in defence of “the realm” and considering the time difference that places Down Under the best part of a day ahead of our Northern Hemisphere allies, it is perhaps not all that surprising that the recently federated na-tion’s most formidable fortification should fig-ure so prominently in the chronology of events rapidly unfolding mid 1914.

But what is truly astonishing is that those very same guns mounted at Point Nepean would end up firing The Empire’s first shots of the Second World War as well.

On the morning of the day the First World War broke out on 5 August 1914, there was only one German ship in Melbourne: the 6560 ton steam-er Pfalz, a merchant vessel operated by German shipping company Norddeutscher Lloyd.

In the hours leading up to the declaration of war between Great Britain and Germany, staff from the German consulate in Melbourne were in a desperate race to get aboard the Pfalz to escape to their homeland and avoid impending arrest.

The cargo-laden steamer left Victoria Dock mid-morning ahead of schedule with its ex-

panded passenger list of German VIPs intent on escaping through the heads and to the freedom of the open sea before the now inevitable dec-laration of war. Also on board was Australian Captain Robinson, an employee of the pilot ser-vice, whose duty was to safely guide the soon-to-be enemy vessel out of Australian waters.

But the ship would not make it through the heads. Australian authorities were being updated minute by minute of the rapidly unfolding events in Europe and were well aware of the movements of the Pfalz and her high-value “cargo”.

It was a race against time and tide for the Pfalz, but history was still on her side when the vessel was halted at Portsea by the SS Alvina.

With no legal authority to detain the vessel in lieu of advice of the outbreak of war, the Pfalz was permitted to resume its journey.

But just minutes later, at 11am local time, a message was received by the Australian Naval Board from the British Admiralty that war had now officially been declared.

The order came to the Fort Nepean gunnery crew to “stop or sink” the Pfalz. Signals were hoisted at Point Nepean calling on the ship to stop. The Pfalz did not comply. A shot was fired across the ship’s bow from a 6 inch Mk VII na-val gun mounted at Fort Nepean.

When that first shot was fired, Captain Robin-son reportedly had some difficulty convincing the captain of the Pfalz that the next shot would be directed at the ship. But Robinson eventual-ly won the day and the captain and crew of the Pfalz – no doubt in close consultation with their consular superiors – were convinced to comply.

The vessel was brought back to Portsea, where the ship, crew and passengers were placed under arrest. They would be recorded as the first Ger-man prisoners of the First World War.

A member of the Fort Nepean gun crew wrote of the incident: “The tide was flowing very fast

when we had the word to fire and I pressed the electrical trigger and saw the shot land with a splash in the water; the splash went right up over the bridge of the ship ... The last order we had was ‘stop her or sink her’.”

As irony would have it, the commandeered Pfalz was quickly refitted and renamed, becom-ing the HMAS Boorara, which would soon carry Australian troops to Egypt and the Darda-nelles in 1915 as part of the Anzac Day landing.

The requisitioned former German merchant vessel became part of the 2nd Australian con-voy to the mid-east, with subsequent duties in-cluding the transportation of Axis-allied Turk-ish prisoners of war.

While serving in the Aegean Sea in July 1915, the ship collided with the French Navy cruiser Kléber and was beached at Moudros before being taken to Naples to be repaired.

The ship was torpedoed twice in the English Channel in 1918 but was repaired on both oc-casions before serving perhaps its most use-ful role in transporting repatriated Australian

troops home from England.Twenty-five years later, the guns of Fort

Nepean would again thrust themselves onto the world stage, firing Britain and the Com-monwealth’s first “angry” shot of the Second World War. It was the only other time Victo-ria’s naval defences had ever been deployed in hostile action, though this time the target turned out to be “friendly”.

The date was 4 September 1939, and the Second World War had been declared only hours earlier.

Alas, this time, there was no fleeing enemy to confront. The mistaken enemy turned out to be the Australian freighter SS Woniora, a cargo vessel en-route to Tasmania, which had failed to respond to a recognition signal as it neared the mouth of Port Phillip Bay.

A warning shot was fired from the very same pair of 6 inch Mk VII naval guns at Fort Nepean. The ship promptly identified itself. None-the-less, history records the incident as the British shot fired in the conflict.

Stop of sink: The six inch guns at Fort Nepean fired the British Empire’s first shots of both world wars.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntIN a repeat of the Peninsula League grand final, Edithvale-Aspendale came from behind to beat Bonbeach in comfortable fashion.

Played on Good Friday at Shark Park in ordinary conditions for football, the Eagles booted eight goals to one in the final quarter to win 13.7.85 to 7.8.50.

The match was played on the terms of the team kicking with the wind.

The Sharks took advantage of the wind in the opening quarter and booted four goals to one to lead by 19 points at the first change.

The visitors hit back in the second quarter, booting four goals to two

behinds to take-in a one goal break at the major interval.

It was the third quarter where the Eagles set-up the win.

The Eagles played tight, disciplined football and the result was restricting the Sharks to just two goals in the premiership quarter.

Whilst the Eagles didn’t score themselves, their ability to stop the Sharks taking advantage of the four-goal wind was the key in the victory.

The floodgates opened in the final term, the Eagles winning the ball in the middle of the ground and the forwards having plenty of supply.

Edithvale kicked 8.2 to 1.2 in a dominant final term.

This week, Bonbeach has the tough

task of heading down to the kennel to play Mornington.

The Sharks will be keen to bounce back while the Doggies will be looking to play better football than they did against Karingal two weeks ago.

On that occasion, the Dogs were prevented from playing free flowing footy and got sucked into a scrappy affair.

Mornington was expected to improve this season and we will only take them seriously if they can beat the likes of Bonbeach.

Meanwhile, Edithvale hosts Seaford at Regent Park. The Eagles will be flying after coming off this great win against Bonbeach and will have no issues beating the Tigers.

Langwarrin faces its toughest task to date when it hosts Mt Eliza. The Kangas have won their opening two matches, which wasn’t out of the ordinary. Beating Karingal, who has lost 14 regular senior players from last season, and then getting over Pines, was a pretty easy start to the season for the Kangas.

The Redlegs had their colours lowered by Frankston YCW two weeks ago and will enjoy the fight of another tough contest against the Kangas.

If Langwarrin is to be considered as a final five side this season, it has to beat the Redlegs.

Frankston YCW and Karingal is usually a fantastic game of football. This Saturday, it will be terribly one

sided.The Stonecats are in fantastic form

early in the season while the Bulls are still finding their way.

Expect Ricky Morris to kick another big bag of goals for YCW.

The best match-up in this game will be Ash Eames up against Grant Goodall.

In the final game, Chelsea is a big chance to win two games on the trot when it heads to Pines.

The Gulls just need to keep Jamie Messina in check and stop the influence of Beau and Guy Hendry. They are becoming dominant forces. Jake Prosser will be a welcome return to the Piners also and will no doubt get a run-with role.

Eagles continue to fly high

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe PuntRYE registered its first win of the season on Good Friday when it led all day to beat Rosebud at Olympic Park.

In tricky windy and wet conditions, the Demons came to play after a strong week on the track and poor form against Dromana in round one.

Rye led at every change and won a low scoring game 9.18.72 to 9.11.65.

Both sides squandered opportunities in front of goal, albeit the conditions were tough.

According to Rye Football Club legend Scott Beel, the club was disappointed with its output in Round one and was keen to make amends against one of its biggest rivals.

“We had a real crack on Friday and played really tight footy,” Beel said.

“Holmesy (coach, Ben Holmes) coached the boys really well through the week and we were able to execute it on game day.

“Our press worked really well and I thought we worked really hard when we didn’t have the footy,” Beel said.

Rye outscored Rosebud when they

kicked against the breeze in the first and third quarters, which really did set-up the win.

Rosebud went into the game without prime movers in Greg Bentley and Daniel Giarusso, while Ben Shutlz was also missing from the team.

All three players suffered hamstring injuries at training, believed to be as a result of a weight program.

Rye run with player Sam Smith was back to his best for the Demons, keeping quiet Brenton Payne, while Jai Lloyd booted three goals after being moved forward after suffering a knee strain.

Ben Holmes injured his ankle in the last quarter and is expected to miss a couple of matches as a result.

Demons come to play on Good Friday

Teams line up for Anzac clashANZAC ROUNDBy Toe PuntNepean League football will be played over two days this weekend to celebrate Anzac Day.

Somerville will host Pearcedale and Hastings will tackle Frankston Bombers on Anzac Day (Friday), while the other four matches will be played on Saturday.

Hastings will be keen to bounce back after a disappointing result against Rosebud two weeks ago.

After a superb performance in round one, the Blues were expected to put up a real fight against Rosebud. It may have been the shot in the arm the Blues need-ed, even as early as round two.

Nepean League is a tight competition and any lack of concentration will see you overrun. With an influx of new faces

at the Blues, they may have thought it was going to come easier that it did.

Frankston Bombers had a sensational victory against Pearecdale in their last match and will keen to show that this wasn’t a flash in the pan.

The Bombers also boast a lot of new faces from the team last year and if their good players are up and going, they are always a chance.

Somerville needs to kick goals, which won’t be easy against Pearcedale.

The Panthers should have beaten Frankston Bombers and its one that got away. This too should be a close encounter, however, it’s hard to see the Panthers losing.

There are some sensational matches on Saturday.

Sorrento and Rosebud both played over the Easter weekend, the Buds hav-

ing an extra day’s break.Rosebud will again be without Gia-

russo, Bentley and Shultz. They cannot beat Sorrento without these three play-ers. They are vital cogs in the Buds’ machine.

Devon Meadows hosts Rye in what should be a great battle.

No Ben Holmes evens the ledger, al-though the Demons do get back Jake Semmell and Andrew Dean. Adam Kirkwood and Rhett Sutton are at the peak of their powers. No doubt the Dev-on boys would have been at Rosebud taking a sneak peak.

Devon is going to be a team that con-tinues to improve and if it is to be taken seriously this season, it needs to beat or go very close to Rye.

Dromana and Crib Point will be an-other cracker.
