WELFARE MATTERS

For those of us who are not So Young we must start to get ourselves ready for the future as

things become harder to do! Dreadful thought but a must-do if we are to transit easily.

Along the way we will need to have an ACAT (aged care assessment team) assessment,

which gives us our rating as either High or Low in our need for assistance.

Another thing we must think about is where we would like to go if we have to go into

residence to be looked after! Firstly, think of the area so family and friend’s find it

convenient for visiting, or taking us out.

Then we must think about the cost of accommodation, this will vary on your income and if

your home is still the residence for your spouse.

On a positive note let us hope that we are all able to stay at home with the assistance of

Carer’s visiting to do the chores we are finding too hard.

If you would like any information on this subject, please come and visit with me and I will

give you all the information I have.

See you at the Dawn Service on ANZAC Day, please don’t go overboard on the celebrations

after.

Good health and happiness!

MILITARY HISTORY FOR APRIL

Battles of Villers-Bretonneux 1918

In late March 1918, the German army advanced towards the vital rail-head at Amiens,

pushing the British line back towards the town of Villers-Bretonneux. In

response to the Germans' early advances during the offensive, on 29 March the

9th Australian Brigade, consisting of four infantry battalions, had been detached

from the 3rd Australian Division and sent south from Belgium to help prevent a

breach of the line between the British Fifth Army (General Hubert Gough) and

the French First Army (General Marie-Eugène Debeney) that was positioned to

the south.

On 30 March the Germans attacked around Le

Hamel and although this was turned back, they

succeeded in making gains around Hangard Wood.

Five days later, the Germans renewed their drive

towards Villers-Bretonneux. Part of the German

attack fell on the centre and left of the French First

Army. The French line fell back, but a counter-attack

regained much of the ground. From north to south the

line was held by British and Australian troops of the

14th (Light) Division, the 35th Australian Battalion

and the 18th (Eastern) Division. By 4 April the 14th (Light) Division, around Le

Hamel, had fallen back under attack from the German 228th Division. The

Australians held off the 9th Bavarian Reserve Division and the 18th Division

repulsed the German Guards Ersatz Division and 19th Division. The British were

forced to retire by the retreat of the 14th (Light) Division, where the 41st Brigade

had been pushed back for 500 yards (460 m) "in some disorder" and then retired

to a ridge another 3,000 yards (2,700 m) back, which left the right flank of the

42nd Brigade uncovered.

The line west of Le Hamel was reinforced by the arrival of the 15th Australian

Brigade. In the afternoon, the Germans resumed their efforts and pushed the

18th Division in the south, at which point Villers-Bretonneux appeared ready to

fall. The Germans came within 440 yards (400 m) of the town but Colonel

Goddard of the 35th Australian Battalion, in command of the sector, ordered a

surprise late afternoon counter-attack on 4 April, by the 36th Australian Battalion

with c. 1000 men, supported by a company from the 35th Australian Battalion

and his reserve, the 6th Battalion London Regiment. Advancing by section

rushes, they pushed the Germans back towards Monument Wood and then north

of Lancer Wood and forced two German divisions to retreat from Villers-

Bretonneux. Flanking movements by British cavalry and Australian infantry

from the 33rd and 34th Battalions helped consolidate the British gains. Further

Australian troops near Villers-

Bretonneux, 2 May 1918

fighting around the village took place later in the month during the Second Battle

of Villers-Bretonneux. The attack on Villers-Bretonneux was the last significant

German attack of Operation Michael (known to the British as the First Battle of

the Somme, 1918). After the failure of the German forces to achieve their

objectives, Ludendorff ended the offensive to avoid a battle of attrition.

The 9th Australian Brigade had 665 casualties from c. 2,250 men engaged.

German casualties were not known but there were 498 losses in two of the

regiments engaged. The 9th Australian Brigade recorded 4,000 dead German

soldiers on their front and the 18th Division had "severe" losses and took 259

prisoners from the 9th Bavarian Reserve, Guards Ersatz and 19th divisions.

On 17/18 April, the Germans bombarded the area behind Villers-Bretonneux with

mustard gas, causing 1,000 Australian casualties. On the evening of 23/24 April,

an artillery barrage was fired, using mustard gas and high explosive rounds.

Next morning, the Germans attacked the village with four divisions. The

German infantry, with fourteen supporting tanks (one was unserviceable), broke

through the 8th Division, making a 3-mile (4.8 km) wide gap in the Allied line.

Villers-Bretonneux fell to the Germans and the railway junction of Amiens

became vulnerable to capture. After the Germans took Villers-Bretonneux, the

first engagement between opposing tanks took place. Three British Mark IV

tanks from No. 1 Section, A Company, 1st Battalion, Tank Corps had been

dispatched to the Cachy switch line, at the first reports of German advance and

were to hold it against the Germans. One was a "male" (the No. 1 Tank of the

section) armed with two 6-pounder guns and machine guns, under the command

of Lieutenant Frank Mitchell. It was crewed by only four

of the normal crew of eight, as the others had been

gassed. The other tanks were "females" armed with 0.303

in (7.7 mm) machine-guns, for use against infantry. All

were advancing when they encountered a German A7V,

"Nixe" of Abteilung III Imperial German Tank Force,

commanded by 2nd Lieutenant Wilhelm Biltz.

Nixe fired on the two "females", damaging them to the

extent that it left holes in the hull leaving the crew exposed. Both retreated; their

machine guns were unable to penetrate the armour on the German tank.

Mitchell's "male" Mark IV continued to fire at the A7V, while on the move to

avoid German artillery fire and the gun of the German tank. The movement

meant Mitchell's gunner had difficulty in aiming the 6-pounders. The tanks fired

at each other on the move, until the Mark IV stopped to allow the gunner a clear

shot and the gunner scored three hits (a total of six shell hits). Nixe heeled over

on its side, possible as a result of crossing an incline at the wrong angle.[14]

The

A7V tank at Roye

9

surviving German crew (out of 18 men), including Biltz, alighted from the

vehicle and the British fired at them as they fled on foot, killing nine.

The British tank was next faced by two more A7Vs, supported by infantry;

Mitchell's tank fired several ranging shots at the German tanks and they retreated.

Mitchell's tank continued to attack the German infantry,

firing case-shot. Seven of the new British Whippet medium

tanks arrived, attacked the Germans, encountered some

battalions "forming up in the open" and killed many

infantry with their machine-guns and by running them

down. Mitchell later remarked that when they returned their

tracks were covered with blood. Only four of the seven Whippets came back, the

rest were destroyed by artillery and five crew were killed.

Being the last tank on the field and slow moving, the Mark IV became a target

for German artillery and Mitchell ordered the tank back, manoeuvring to try to

avoid the shells but a mortar round disabled the tracks. The crew left the tank,

escaping to a British-held trench, much to the surprise of the troops in it.

Lieutenant Biltz and his crew boarded "Nixe" and withdrew. The tank was

eventually broken up for spares in June 1918. Earlier in the day, another tank in

the same group as Biltz, A7V No 506 "Mephisto", had fallen onto its side and

been abandoned. The tank was recovered by Australian and British troops some

three months later.

About noon the 1st Battalion of the Sherwood Foresters had attempted a counter-

attack. The British 25th Brigade was considered for an attack but this was

cancelled. A tank with troops from the 2nd Royal Berkshire made a spontaneous

attack from the north, pushing the German line back about 150 yards (140 m).[22]

General Henry Rawlinson had responded even before he received orders from

Marshal Ferdinand Foch to recapture the town.[23]

At 9:30 a.m. he ordered an

immediate counter-attack by the Australian 13th Brigade under General Thomas

William Glasgow and the 15th Brigade under General H. E. "Pompey" Elliott,

both in reserve, though the 13th Brigade had suffered many casualties at

Dernancourt nearby. Rawlinson intended an enveloping attack, the 15th Brigade

attacking north of the town and the 13th Brigade attacking to the south. British

troops would support and the 2nd Battalion, Northamptonshire Regiment and the

22nd Durham Light Infantry would follow through in the gap between the

Australians and "mop up" the town, once it was isolated. Artillery support was

available but since German positions were unknown and to avoid alerting the

Germans, there was no preparatory barrage to soften up the German positions.

Instead the artillery would bombard the town for the hour once the attack began

10

and then move its line of fire back beyond the line held by the Allies before the

German attack.

The attack took place on the night of 24/25 April, after a postponement from 8:00

p.m. Glasgow argued that it would still be light, with terrible consequences for

his men and that the operation should start at 10:00 p.m. and "zero hour" was

eventually set for 10:00 p.m. The operation began with German machine gun

crews causing many Australian casualties. A number of charges against machine-

gun posts helped the Australian advance; in particular, Lieutenant Clifford

Sadlier of the 51st Battalion, was awarded the Victoria Cross, after attacking with

hand-grenades. The two brigades swept around Villers-Bretonneux and the

Germans retreated, for a while escaping the pocket along a railway cutting. The

Australians eventually captured the German positions and pushed the German

line back, leaving the German troops in Villers-Bretonneux surrounded. The

British units attacked frontally and suffered many casualties. By 25 April, the

town had been recaptured and handed back to the villagers. The battle was a

great success for the Australian troops, who had defeated the German attempt to

capture Amiens and recaptured Villers-Bretonneux while outnumbered; the

village remained in Allied hands to the end of the war.

Battle of Kapyong 1951 Korea The massive Chinese Fifth Phase Offensive was

launched on 22 April 1951 to drive the United

Nations forces into the southern part of the

Korean peninsula.

3 RAR and the 2nd Battalion, Princess

Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (2nd PPCLI)

as part of the 27th Commonwealth Infantry

Brigade, were ordered 60 kilometres north-

east of Seoul to the Kapyong River Valley to

stem the enemy’s advance. 3 RAR dug in on the

high ground on the east of the river to form one

part of a defence-in-depth blocking position,

with 2nd PPCLI on the western side.

The South Korean 6th Division retreated in the face of overwhelming

Chinese numbers on the afternoon of 23 April. The Australians and

Canadians, with the 1st Battalion Middlesex Regiment (1 Mx), the 16th Field

Regiment (16 Fd Regt), Royal New Zealand Artillery, and Company A, 72nd

US Tank Battalion, in support, settled in to face the impact of the enemy

advance.

11

3 RAR fought off waves of attacking infantry with A and B Companies at the

front facing extremely heavy fire and bearing the brunt of the attack.

Battalion Headquarters 3 RAR was forced to withdraw to 1 Mx’s position

south-west of its four companies, some four kilometres from its fighting

troops. This effectively left the companies isolated overnight. 16 Fd Regt

provided effective fire support which held off the enemy, despite having to

relocate its position due to enemy encroachment.

As the morning of 24 April dawned, the open ground below A and B

Companies’ positions revealed Chinese forces in great numbers. The

artillery, tanks and a company of American mortars poured fire onto the

open ground in support of the Australians, causing extremely heavy

casualties and a localised withdrawal by Chinese forces. B Company was

ordered off its position to higher ground, and then subsequently reordered

back to its former position, necessitating a bayonet charge to remove the

Chinese now occupying it. This attack failed, placing the Australians in even

greater peril.

The Chinese attempted to outflank the Australian positions to the east,

meeting D Company on a feature called Hill 504. Again, 16 Fd Regt used its

firepower in support, allowing D Company to repulse repeated attempts on

its position. In the early afternoon, two United States Corsairs accidentally

delivered a napalm airstrike on D Company’s position, killing two soldiers.

Shortly afterwards, orders came through to conduct a fighting withdrawal of

all four companies south-west through the 1 Mx position. This proved

extremely difficult with the pursuing enemy maintaining contact well into

the night, before 3 RAR was able to break contact and continue its

withdrawal. 3 RAR lost 32 killed in action. Along with its Canadian, British, New Zealand and United States allies, 3 RAR managed to hold the advancing Chinese divisions in the Kapyong River valley for 24 hours, allowing United Nations forces further south to shore up a defensive line. It then successfully conducted a fighting withdrawal to extricate itself from

encirclement and re-join its parent brigade, exemplifying the discipline, courage and skill required to succeed in its mission. For their courageous actions, both 3 RAR and 2nd PPCLI were awarded the Distinguished Unit Citation by the United States Government.

TREVOR’S JOKE OF THE MONTH

A lady walks into Harrods. She looks around, spots a beautiful diamond bracelet

and walks over to inspect it. As she bends over to look more closely, she

unexpectedly passes wind.

Very embarrassed, she looks around nervously to see if anyone noticed her little

'woops' and prays that a salesperson was not anywhere near. As she turns around,

her worst nightmare materializes in the form of a salesman standing right behind

her - good looking as well.

Cool as a cucumber, he displays all of the qualities one would expect of a

professional in a store like Harrods. He politely greets the lady with, "Good day

Madam. How may we help you today?"

Blushing and uncomfortable but still hoping that the salesman somehow missed

her little 'incident',

she asks:

"What is the price of this lovely bracelet?"

He answers:

"Madam - if you passed wind just looking at it -

you're going to defecate and make one horrible mess of yourself, when I tell you

the price!"

Do you know what CARE means??
