PREFACE

Having spent many years as a family history enthusiast, in the days before the email,

digitalized records, indexes, and on-line sites, I have always loved the thrill of discovering

new and exciting snippets of information within my extended family trees. Finding two First

Fleet convicts Andrew Goodwin and Lydia (Letitia) Munro during research into my parental

line, was very special.

In 2014 as the WW1 centenary celebrations commenced, and knowing two great uncles

served, one killed in action, I began to wonder about the other WW1 descendants from

Andrew and Lydia, who were they, and where in this large extended family did they fit? Yes,

I thought, what a great project to embark on.

Family lines were the best place to start, and I also ‘sent the word out’ to descendant

members; some lines had none while others had one or more. I followed up by clarifying all

names and information using the official war records on-line. The WW1 enlistees were

young and keen; they came from a variety of occupational backgrounds, including two

eminent doctors and one female nurse. Single or married, brothers and cousins, they

enlisted in most States of Australia and New Zealand.

Most fought in various theatres of conflict, were mentioned in dispatches and awarded

medals for bravery. They were hospitalized for an assortment of diseases, wounded in

action and sent home following treatment on hospital ships. The deceased were named in

Red Cross files and later their personal effects and medals were sent back home to grieving

parents and siblings. Names appear on Memorial Gates and Commonwealth War Grave

headstones scattered throughout France and Belgium. Newspapers of the day recorded

the happenings of these men, when wounded, hospitalized, returning home or deceased.

Following the war, memorials started to appear in cities and country towns throughout

Australia and New Zealand. They were placed in prominent positions, some within a garden

setting and were visual to all residents and visitors. The capital cites of Australia and New

Zealand erected outstanding War Memorials, but all had one purpose, to acknowledge

those men and women who enlisted and those that never returned. Country Churches and

Halls placed Honour Boards with enlistees and deceased names who had resided in their

areas, some are still there today while others have disappeared with time.

Twenty-one years after the end of WW1 another war was declared. Some of the veterans

enlisted once again, whilst another generation of Andrew Goodwin and Lydia Munro

descendants became WW11 veterans.

The word ANZAC was used to refer to

the Australians and New Zealanders who landed on Gallipoli in 1915. An Anzac

would eventually mean any Australian or New Zealand soldier of the First World War,

and now applies to all wars and conflicts

KILLED WHILE DOING HIS DUTY

Following we publish several letters handed on by Mr Walter Thomas, Mernda, (cousin of

Mrs Vipont), which explain themselves. Leslie A. Vipont, who was killed under the name of

Grierson, was a native of the Mernda district, and an old scholar of State School 468. His

mother is a sister of Mr George Cockerell, Mrs Hicks, and Mrs Smith, all of Mernda. Mrs.

Vipont has two other sons in the army.

Rosebank, Apollo Bay.

Sept. 21st, 1916

My Dear Cousin, - Thank you for your sympathy in my sad hour. I am trying to brave and to

remember I am a mother of soldier sons, and that the Seaforth's badge reads "Guidich'n

Rich," which means God and the Right. Still you understand how my heart is grieving for

Leslie, who was a dearly loved son and always good to his mother. Leslie left us three years

ago last June to join the Navy, and was for some time in the Naval Depot, Williamstown.

Then he was placed on the "Encounter," and when H.M.A.S. "Australia" arrived he was

transferred to her, and took a keen interest in everything in his new life and received many

kindnesses, which were greatly appreciated by a lad new to the life. Then, while the

"Australia" was away on a trip round Thursday Island and the Queensland coast, they

4

received a wireless that war had broken out, and in almost incredible time they were back in

Sydney and fitted out for active service. I received a letter from Leslie before the "Australia"

sailed telling me not to worry, that he had joined the Navy, to do for his King and Country

whatever he was asked to do, and saying he wanted to be in it. Busy days were in store for

all hands, and my boy, being a stoker, felt he was playing his part in helping to get things

moving. How the lads felt it when their rounding up sent the German squadron into Admiral

Sturdee's squadron and the honour of capture was denied them. After eight months he was

given four days' leave, and spent it in London and attended service at Westminster Abbey

and saw all the historical sights and enjoyed it so much. Then came the weary time of

waiting in North Sea, and how it tried the men and officials, and alike our newspapers. In

one letter he said," I cannot tell where our Flagship is, Mother, but when I say it's near where

your mother was born you'll understand"; and I did. While waiting day by day expecting to

take his share in some great naval victory, my boy had the misfortune to break his leg, he

was sent to Chatham Naval Hospital, on recovering, came back to his ship, but the Staff

Surgeon, noticing his leg was still healing, got him a month's leave, and he was sent to

Hopetoun House as a convalescent. I must add that Lord and Lady Hopetoun in

remembrance of happy days spent in Vic., had placed portion of the castle for the use of sick

soldiers and sailors off the flagship. Leslie spent such happy days there, visited Edinburgh

often, especially the Castle, and there saw the Seaforth Highlanders, the regiment which his

great grandfather, Sgt. Grierson, engaged to, they being quartered there at that time. In a

letter written to me about that time he said, "I wish I could get on land, dear; the waiting is

awful, and I feel it's not half over yet." Well, cousin, ten days after writing my letter, my boy,

instead of rejoining his ship, joined the Seaforths and took the name of Leslie Grierson. I

enclose the copy of the letters received from his officers. They will say more to you than I

can. Will you kindly allow any of my people who wish to see these letters, as my heart will

not let me write to everyone: and tell Mr Glass I would be proud to have my boys' names on

the Roll of Honour where they first attended school. With regards to my new cousin and

yourself

I am your affectionate cousin, Annie Birkett Vipont

Dear Mrs Grierson, - I very much regret to have to write and inform you of the death of your

son in action yesterday. We all feel his loss very keenly, as your son was a most efficient

soldier; his loss is also very keenly felt by his comrades. You have the consolation of knowing

that your son was held in high esteem by all of us, and his loss is one which cannot be

replaced. Hoping that you will accept the sympathy of his comrades and myself in your sad

loss,

I remain,

Dear Madam,

Yours very sincerely,

12 July 1916 France

Dear Mrs Grierson, - It is my sad duty to inform you of your son Leslie, who was killed

through a piece of shrapnel striking him on the head on the night of the 11/7/16. I assure

you he suffered no pain, as death was instantaneous. I was his commanding Sgt., and he

was one of my best hands when I had anything special on, and he was on special duty that

night, and he had just completed it when the unlucky thing happened. He was well liked by

all his chums and we will sadly miss him, and we all unite in sending you our sympathy. He

was buried in the British cemetery behind our lines and his grave has been marked by a nice

little cross. I will close now, hoping you will excuse the writing, as I am still in the trenches;

and if there is anything I can do for you in regards to information concerning him, just write

and I will be too pleased to oblige. I will close now again tendering you my earnest sympathy

in your sad bereavement.

From your friend,

SGT. P. RUSSEL, 8th Sea. H'rs, B.E.F., France.

8th Seaforths,

British Expedient Forces

20 July 1916

Dear Mrs Grierson, - I deeply regret to tell you that your son, Pte. L. Grierson, 8th Seaforths,

has been killed in action. The Seaforths organised a raid on the German trenches in the

Hohenzollern redoubt on the 11th last, and the operation, while carried through with the

utmost bravery, was attendant with many casualties. Your son was killed instantly near the

German trenches, and on their way back, his comrades carried his body, which was later

buried in the British cemetery of Vermelles, behind the lines. It is so little that one can write

at such a time beside the bare fact. Your son behaved with the utmost gallantry, and in his

living and dying has left another example of a fine British soldier. His Battalion deplore his

loss, but your personal loss will be the greater. We feel deeply with you in your sorrow and

desire to express our sympathy with you in the loss of such a gallant son. I am led to

understand that his effects have been forwarded through the Base.

With kindest regards,

Yours sincerely,

(Chaplain) William Crawford

MERNDA

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT)

At the Mayfield Presbyterian Church, on Sunday, April 13th, the ceremony of unveiling the

very handsome honour board, presented to the church by the Hon. Secretary (Mr. C. G.

Johnson, his brother, Mr. Herbert Johnson, and his sister, Miss Ellen Johnson) took place. The

board is made of Australian timber beautifully polished and made by Mr. Herbert Johnson,

the lettering and ornamentation being the work of Miss Ellen Johnson, and all the work is of

a very high order of excellence. On the board is inscribed 36 names, 10 of whom lost their

lives for their King and Country. The names on the board are as follows: (k) signifying those

killed – Chaplain Captain Bruce, Gordon Creighton, Donald M'Kay, John M'Intosh (k), Albert

Owens, George Jolley (k), John Stanborough, Phillip Curwin, William Vipont, Charles. E.

Johnson, William Slessar (k), Albert Bate, Donald M'Phee, Donald M'Donald, Alexander

M'Kay, John M'Donald, Richard Owens, Thomas Chettle (k), Cyril Scarborough, Geoffrey

6

Ogilvie (k), Hugh Clyne, Walter Young, Allan M'Phee (k), John H. Jolley, Duncan M'Donald,

Rhoderick M'Kay, Leslie Masters (k), Evan Owens, Malcolm Bruce, Samuel Hooppell (k), Leslie

Vipont (k), John Cockerell, Colin Hicks (k), Walter Thomas, Angus M'Phee, James Owen. The

unveiling ceremony was performed by Mr. Thomas Hicks, the father of Pvt. Colin Hicks, the

first soldier to be killed of those who left Mernda, he being killed at Gallipoli. The following

was the order of service, the service being an impressive one:-

National Anthem, prayer, hymn, Bible reading, hymn, intimations, collection, anthem by the

choir, the Lord's Prayer, honour board unveiled by Mr.Hicks, list of names read out by Cr.

Walter Thomas, "God Bless Our Splendid Men," hymn, Benediction, a fine sermon by Captain

Chaplain D. Bruce, a splendid choir led by Mr. F. Sharp, a feeling few words by Mr. Hicks, a

large congregation, in which the Whittlesea Shire Council was well represented, there being

present the respected President (Cr. L. W. Clarke), Messrs Sutherland, Morgan, Brock, and

Thomas, and all helped to make the ceremony an imposing and impressive one. Ten is a

large percentage to be killed out of 36 names on the honour board, but those who loved

them have the consolation of knowing that they died for King and Country and in the cause

of right and justice, and it is a pleasure to know that they did not die in vain. Mr. Bruce

leaves Australia on the 26th inst. for duty overseas in connection with the demobilisation

work, and will probably give in his resignation to the Presbytery before he sails of the

Whittlesea, Mernda and Janefield Presbyterian Churches, when, if he does, the matter in due

course will be dealt with by the Presbytery, and by them be remitted to the congregations

concerned.

London Gazette, 26 November 1917.

Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. While he was endeavouring to fill a

14

gap on his left flank during an attack (Passchendaele, Oct 1917), his platoon came under

heavy fire from some pillboxes and an enemy trench. He at once led his men to the attack,

capturing the garrison of the trench, and eventually by a skilful manoeuvre, put the pillbox

out of action. He was cut off from his company and all of his platoon had become casualties,

but he took command of a few men (Australians) near him and held his position when the

rest of the advance was held up. Later he rejoined his company, took command and

consolidated the new position. He showed the greatest gallantry, coolness and leadership

throughout.

WINNER OF D.S.O.

Second Lieutenant A. R. Cockerell, who has just won the D.S.0., is the second son of Mr

Allan Cockerell, Middlemarch. He was educated at the Sutton School, and after leaving

school he learned farming on the Gladbrook Estate. Afterwards he joined the staff of the

New Zealand Railways, and at the outbreak of war he volunteered for active service. He was

accepted, and left with the Main Body. During this time he has been in Egypt, Gallipoli, and

France. The chairman of the Middlemarch Patriotic Committee has received a letter from

Lieutenant A. R. Cockerell, D.5.0., conveying the sincere thanks of the boys to the Red Cross

and patriotic workers of Middlemarch, who have done so much in sending parcels and other

comforts. The writer states that he feels sure all ranks appreciate the good work being done.

Life in the Earl of Liverpool’s Own – The Voyage to Egypt

Mr J.E. Carter, stationmaster at Leeston, has received some interesting letters from

Rifleman D.B. Cockerell, who went to Egypt with the first battalion of the New Zealand Rifle

Brigade (Earl of Liverpool’s Own). At the time of enlisting Rifleman Cockerell, who

distinguished himself at some of the sports meetings in the Ellesmere district as a runner,

was cadet at the Leeston railway station. The following extracts have been take from one of

the soldier’s letters:- I thoroughly enjoyed the trip over here in the transport. We called at an Australian port and

went for a route march through the town, but could not get any leave owing to a case of

scarlet fever on board. During our stay there the Willochra came in and all our patients were

transferred to her and sent back to New Zealand.

In due course we sighted the coast of Africa and were soon running up the Gulf of Aden. We

did not call at Aden, but could see the harbour lights in the distance. Two days later we

sighted the island of Perim and shortly afterward passed through Hell’s Gate into the Red Sea. Later on in the same day we saw an old Arabic town named Makhas loom up against

the skyline. The buildings appeared to have been made up of white stone, which looked very

beautiful with the sun shining upon it. For the next few days we passed plenty of islands and

lighthouses, and arrived in Suez on Sunday morning, but had to anchor in the harbour until

Monday because there was no berth available. We disembarked at 12.30 and got into a line

of dirty carriages and were soon being whirled along to our camping ground. Whenever the

train stopped natives by the dozen came along trying to sell fruit, cigarettes, and lollies, but

we were not allowed to buy any owing to the possibility of the fruit being drugged. We are

not in New Zealand now, and it is known that spies are everywhere about here, so one

cannot be too careful. The dirty appearance of the natives is enough to put us off the fruit.

After spending about seven hours in the train, we arrived at Zeitoun and marched to where

we are now camped, beside the town of Heliopolis. We are camped in tents, eight men in

each, and have our food in a big wooden building. The barbers in camp are Greeks, and of

16

all the barbers I have seen they are the limit, for they absolutely pull the face off one. One

visit was quite sufficient for me.

The Second Battalion left for the front on November 23. We would have been away in their

stead, but unfortunately the First Battalion were vaccinated a few hours before we got word

to go into the firing line: but I suppose we shall be away in another week’s time. Departed for overseas service in France

Citation: for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty, during the advance at Villers

Bretonneux East of Amiens on the night of 26/27th April 1918. Single-handed, he rounded a

machine-gun post single-handed, killing the three occupants and capturing the gun, which

he immediately used to best advantage in dispersing the enemy and allowing our advance to

be continued. He then advanced firing his own gun from his hip and thereby causing heavy

casualties to the enemy. He took command of his Platoon after his Officer and Platoon

Sergeant had become casualties, and from this on he displayed the qualities of leadership,

command and initiative to a marked degree.

(Signed) J.T. Hobbs. Major-General, Commanding 5th Australian Division

Returned to Australia 27 November 1919 aboard HT Devon

Discharged Melbourne 19 January 1920 – Termination of Period of Enlistment

Following the war John Cockerell ran into trouble and in 1922 was involved in a highly

publicised case where he was charged with wounding with Intent to murder. He shot

another man in the head whilst drunk after getting into an argument with him at his uncles

house in Somerton. In his mercy plea at court he relied heavily on his war record including

the award of the DCM. Cockerell was sentenced for 6 months imprisonment.

WW11

During WW2 he attempted to enlist under his own name but was rejected probably on the

account of his criminal record. He went interstate, where he enlisted as S50499 John Harold

Le Vipont at Torrens Hall South Australia becoming a Lieutenant in the 4th Battalion. Nothing

further is known of him.

The Distinguished Conduct Medal, post-nominal letters DCM, was established in 1854 by

Queen Victoria as a decoration for gallantry in the field by other ranks of the British Army. It

is the oldest British award for gallantry and was a second level military decoration, until it

was discontinued in 1993.

Alfred Molyneaux (Mollenoyux) Remembers his 94 years as if it was yesterday

(A story on his remarkable life – notice the Gallipoli Badge) (Terang Express 1985)

Alfred Leslie Mollenoyux’s WW1 experiences, taken from an article on his life from the Terang

Express 1985

At the outbreak of WW1 I immediately joined the AIF. I was one of those heroes that all the

fuss was about he said. By that he meant his experiences at Gallipoli.

The war broke out in September 1914, we went straight in a joined up and didn’t know where we were going.

Mr Molyneaux (sic) was first sent to Egypt and then to Gallipoli. Then on April 1915, a big

mistake was made by the English authorities. I have been hostile on the British heads ever

since for the things they did and the portion of it they left unsaid, he said.

The war also created some life-long friendships for the young soldiers. Nothing brings men

closer together in real friendship until something like that happens, he said.

38

While in Gallipoli Mr Molyneaux contracted dysentery and a dangerous fever and almost died.

He was carried off Gallipoli and onto an island.

A British ship then came in and took the sick and dying crowd to London. Mr Molyneaux was

in a London hospital until the end of 1915. When he recovered he was sent to France until I

got a big hole torn through the right thigh. Our lot started to chase Fritzy back out of the

trenches. I was one of three signallers who was following them running communications by

telephone line. A shell burst nearby and a piece of gagged shell went through my thigh. That

finished me for the war. He said.

From the front line Mr Molyneaux was transferred to a hospital in France. The Doc wanted

to take my leg off. I argued the point with him and wouldn’t give permission. I kept up the

argument and eventually won it. The Doctor patched me up the best he could and sent me

back to England.

Outside the village of Avon the tobacco millionaires built three wards for a recovery hospital.

After three months Mr Molyneaux received furlough which meant he would visit where ever

he wanted for a while. It was Mr Molyneaux’s desire to go to Scotland. He had a girl back home in Queensland who had relations in Cumberland Scotland and he promised her he

would visit them. Also there was a Scottish soldier in the bed near him at the hospital. He

had written a letter to his mother and asked Mr Molyneaux to personally deliver it. He said

he had a hard time trying to get away from the soldier’s home when his family heard he had been so close to their Jock. He went on to visit his girl- friends’ relations and from there back to dear on old Queensland. On his return from the war Mr Molyneaux married his girl-friend

Adelaide.

From an interview with Fred in 1985 with Susan McConnell – written up by Amanda Cook

(great-great-great niece). Article taken from Terang & District Pioneer Register, The Next

Generation Pre 1925

Everyone was on the battle ship in the darkness some distance from Gallipoli. 250 of us were

picked out of the crowd as a cover party for the landing. We were all sent off the ship in

lifeboats and waited in the water. When the British came and collected the stream of lifeboats

they dragged us near to where the landing cove was and let us go. At the speed we were now

travelling, we were supposed to reach the shore and jump out. But what the British didn’t know was that around the peninsular there was a strong current, it made us lose speed and

dragged us away from the landing. We were told that when we could feel the boats dragging

along the bottom we should jump out. The water at the landing was ankle deep, but we

weren’t at the landing so we didn’t know what to do. We decided that it would be best if we stuck to the original plan, even though we weren’t in the right place. So when we could feel

the boat scraping we jumped out in the water. It was deeper that we had expected, and with

all our heavy gear on it was difficult. A lot of our men got into trouble, but we couldn’t help. Before we got off the ship, we were given 25 extra rounds of bullets. We stored the extra

ammo in our pockets since we were already loaded up. In front of us there was a cliff. I was

in one of the first boats with 3 other lads and so we started off together. We climbed with the

aid of our trench tools that were on our belts and when we reached the top just before the sun

39

was starting to rise in the east. The Turks were waiting at the green patch where we were

supposed to land. It was then that I heard a gunshot from the opening. I heard one of my

mates yell “they’ve got Molly”. I hit the ground with a thud; it took the wind out of me. When

I got up I checked myself. I couldn’t feel anything and there was no blood. I didn’t know what had happened. I thought that maybe it’d been a mule, those things can kick. We ran a few

yards and dropped to the ground for fear that the enemy saw us. Then one of the lads said to

me “you’re a chicken Molly”. All I said was “Yeah”. That’s when we heard some more shooting from down the bottom. I tell you what, you could tell where the Aussies were.

You could hear them swearing at Turks and the British, everyone was getting it. We found an

empty trench the ‘Johnnie Turk” had dug and decided to re-load. The bullets were all out in

clips of 5 so that it was easier to load. That’s when I found out that I wasn’t a Chicken. I pulled out all of my bullets and found the Turks had shot me in the hip when I fell to the ground. But

the Turk’s bullet had hit the tip of one of mine so they didn’t explode in my pocket and blow

off my leg. I tell you what, I was dam lucky that day, (we have two bullets at home in a tin).

I was carried out of Gallipoli in November. I had dysentery and enteric fever. I was taken to a

Greek Island where there was a temporary hospital that I was put in. The British then painted

one of their battle ships white with red crosses on it and got all us Aussies and took us to

London. The hospital was a workhouse that had been changed into a hospital. There was a

kind man called Lord Northcliffe who would send his chauffeur to the hospital to pick up

Australian soldiers who were well enough to go out in the Rolls Royce. Once I was better I was

sent off to France to help out. But my service there ended when I was shot in the thigh. The

hole was 3 inches wide! After that happened I was passed out of the army and went home.

Back in Brisbane I was told that I could get my old job back, but work on the trams was too

much for my leg. I went and got married to Adelaide Dempster. She had been waiting for me

to come back. I had said I would marry her when I got home.

On the morning of 11th December 1916, whilst in Flers Sector, a party of 1 Corporal and 12

men carried hot tea up to the front line just before daybreak. They unfortunately went

through a gap in our line and arrived on the German parapet before they realised what had

happened. Heavy rifle fire was at once turned upon them and they ran back. Three men

were wounded (two of them Privates Shelverton and Rockcliffe) remained behind with them

and assisted them back to our trenches from the middle of No Man’s Land under continued rifle and M.G. fire whilst day was fast breaking.

Mr and Mrs Albert Shelverton of Lake Tiberias, Rhyndaston, some weeks ago received word

from their son, Private Stanley Shelverton, that he had been recommended for the Military

Medal, and now official word has come through confirming the news that he has been

awarded this much-coveted distinction “for distinguished bravery on the field of battle.” He is only 22 years of age, and has been at the front almost since the start of the war. Among

the deeds which helped to win him his distinction was the carrying another young

Tasmanian soldier named Nicholson of Hobart (who has since unfortunately died of

wounds), on his shoulders to the safety of the trenches amid a perfect hurricane of fire.

Since the award was made to him, Private Shelverton has been reported wounded.

Corporal Stanley Shelverton, MM. was given a hearty welcome home at a social last week in

the Colebrook Town Hall. There was an unusually large assemblage of friends and well -

wishers. The hall was nicely decorated with flags, etc for the occasion and several patriotic

songs and glees were song. The Warden (Mr N.J. Brooks) provided and presented Corporal

42

Shelverton with a gold medal, subscribed by the residents of the district, and in a few

appropriate remarks, extended him a hearty welcome home. Corporal Shelverton had seen

over four years of active service, having joined the A.I.F. in September 1914, was at the

landing at Gallipoli and remained there with his regiment till transferred to France, where he

was awarded the Military Medal for bravery in the field in rescuing a wounded comrade

under heavy shell fire. (Cheers). Songs were rendered by Mrs Morrison and Corporal

Cairnduff, recitations by Miss Gild Gard, and suitable glees by the Colebrook Glee Club,

including “Home Sweet Home”.

London Gazette 17 June 1919: Commonwealth Gazette No.1115, dated 10 October 1919

During the attack on MT. ST. QUENTIN near PERONNE, on 1st September, 1918, this man did

splendid work as a Sniper, and his coolness and courage did much to relieve the situation

ever growing more serious. Casualties kept occurring and the enemy's numbers increasing,

but STONEHOUSE remained undaunted. At great personal risk, for machine guns played all

round him, he continued to fire, and accounted for from 15 to 20 Germans, he so seldom

missed his mark that he appeared to demoralise the enemy, and thus did much to cover a

43

temporary withdrawal of his section which was then taking place. Among his victims was a

German whom he dropped from a tree, and who had caused our men much trouble.

Charles Henry White was my grandfather with

whom I was fortunate to spend a great deal of

time in my younger days. From the very humble

education he received in the one room school at

Lottah, over his long life he developed interests,

passions and considerable capacities across all

the sciences, engineering, athletic sports and

singing. Given his long life, I had many

opportunities to build a picture of his war

experiences although my mother says it was only

in his last decade that he really opened up about

the details of his involvement at Gallipoli.

1 December 1916 Mention in Despatches 3rd Light Horse Field Ambulance, Anzac Gallipoli

During the period of General AJ Murray’s Command of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force

This officer has acted in the capacity of Adjutant of his Unit, and later in command during

the absence of Lieut Colonel Downes in Egypt, and was never absent from the day of his

landing to the day of evacuation, notwithstanding that he badly required a rest. He also

carried out the duties as Brigade Sanitary Officer in addition to the above, and that the

sanitary condition of the Brigade was on several occasions the subject of most favourable

comment by Inspecting Officers was to a great extent the result of Captain White’s personal and assiduous attention. In every capacity he has proved himself worthy of the highest

commendation, and I feel in justice to himself, that it is only right that I should bring his

name favourably to the notice of the General Officer Commanding. Promulgated in

Copy of a letter received by Mr. A. Williams of Mathinna from his son Pte Frank Williams a

native of Mathinna, and a popular lad. He has been twice wounded. His elder brother

Charlie was killed just after landing at Dardanelles.

53

I was wounded three weeks ago, and am now doing well. I was shot through under the

heart; I am out of the hospital now, but very weak and thin. I believe it has crippled me for

life. It may go away in time. We have had some very hard fighting. We were fighting for

three days, so you can guess what it was like. I love the game. I never thought I had the pluck

I have. My God those Jack Johnston shells, if they hit anywhere near you; they shake you off

your feet. I had five weeks in the trenches before I got hit, The weather is fearfully hot over

here now, men are getting sunstroke every day, Well father, I have never had a word from

any one at Mathinna since I left Broad Meadows camp, but I am living in hopes of getting a

letter someday. So I wish you good bye, hoping you are all well, but I cannot say I am but not

too bad. P.S. A bullet hits hard when it hits you in the ribs.

A letter written to Private F.H. Williams

We the residents of Mathinna, desire to express our appreciation of the sacrifices you have made in

the trenches, on behalf of us, and the empire.

It is now approaching a year since you first felt the "Call of Duty" and offered your services

for King and Country, and this at a time when few others realized the greatness of the

struggle, and the need of men. Since then you and your comrades have not been forgotten.

You may rest assured that it has not been a case of "out of sight, out of mind". The struggle

has been so keen, that the eyes of the whole of Tasmania of Australia or of the whole of the

civilized world, have been following the movements of the men with who you have been

associated since the day of that great event" The landing at Kaba Tepe".

Earlier still, we eagerly read any news relating to your sojourn in Egypt, and the belated

scraps of information of your transports en route. It is with extreme pleasure that we see

your return again, and trust that you will soon be thoroughly recovered.

We have read of the foes with which you have had to fight, of the Turks we expected the

worst, but accounts agree in saying that he is not compared with the ally, and master the

German. You at least, have the satisfaction of knowing; you have faced both, and done your

best. "What more can man do". Also for the losses you have suffered, you have our heartfelt

sympathy, but there is this to sustain you, that we realize, that had we not had Men of your

calibre, to stand up for us, we soon, would have been in a position of "Brave Little Belgium".

Again thanking you for your services to us as a soldier, it is with pleasure that we extend to

you. A hearty "Welcome Home" and wish you a speedy and complete recovery.
