OUR ANZACS
Gallipoli - The making of a nation By Cameron McCullough THE Gallipoli Campaign has long been regarded as being the birth of our nation; the moment the newly Federated Australia proved itself worthy to stand on its own two feet in the dominion of the British Empire. The campaign is also noted for its military blundering; for bad decision making by British generals, sending our troops often to certain death facing insurmountable odds. Indeed, the campaign’s military miscalculations began well before the first Australian soldier set foot on the beaches of Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. Turkey, part of the once great but now weakened Ottoman Empire, had been a good friend to both the British and Germans before the First World War. Once war was declared, it made clear its neutrality. But just days into the war, a defining action by the First Lord of the Admiralty, a young Winston Churchill, set in motion a series of events that would result in the Gallipoli Campaign, and the loss of over 8,000 Australian lives. On 1 August 1914, the Ottoman Empire’s greatest naval hero, Captain Huseyin Rauf, arrived in London with his Turkish troops to take delivery of the first of two dreadnoughts that had been purchased from Britain for six million pounds. The great sacrifices the Turkish people had made to raise the funds for these ships, to become the pride of the Turkish fleet, can not be underestimated. Taxes had been raised significantly, donation boxes had been placed on
bridges, civil servant wages had been docked, and in villages across Turkey, women had cut off and sold their hair to wig makers to raise the funds required. The problem Captain Rauf faced this morning, in the London shipyard, was a line of men in uniform, not Turkish uniform either, advancing with guns with bayonets fixed. Due to the declaration of war, and the uncertainty of where Turkey stood in the bigger picture, Winston Churchill had claimed the ships for Britain. The consternation over the “theft” of their ships was the subject of much heated discussion in Constantinople. Over the next week, a domino effect of declarations of war spread throughout Europe, and leaders in Constantinople had declared a “neutral call to arms”. Just days later, two German warships, Goeben and Breslau, fleeing pursuing British ships, requested permission to enter the narrow and heavily defended strip of water called the Dardanelles, to seek safe-haven in the Sea of Marmara. Turkey was now on a knife’s edge, and the decision to let the German ships enter or not enter would change the shape of world history. To refuse them entry would be to maintain Turkey’s neutrality, but to allow them to enter would be nothing short of a declaration of war against Britain. The Turkish Minister for War, General Enver, now faced two decisions. The first was whether to allow the German ships passage through the
Dardanelles. “Yes” was his answer. The second was whether the Turkish guns were to fire on the pursuing British ships. .....“Yes”. General Enver broke the news to Cabinet colleagues with the words “A son has been born to us”. The German ships would be “purchased” by Turkey, thus replacing the ships taken from them by the British, and certainly pushing Turkey into the war on the side of the Germans. The British now had a problem. The Dardanelles was considered key to winning the war. Not only was it the strip of water separating Europe from Asia, but it also led directly to Constantinople, the capital of Turkey, and via The Bosphorus, to the Black Sea. It was a passage that, now restricted, cut off much of the supply and naval movements by one of Britain’s allies, Russia. Very quickly, British commanders established the need to “force the Dardanelles” with the British Navy. It would allow for the capture of Constantinople, the opening of an eastern front against Germany, and the opening of the supply route. On 4 November 1914, four battle cruisers sailed into the mouth of the Dardanelles and began firing on the Ottoman forts lining the shores. This is despite the fact that Turkey was yet to enter the war. One shell scored a direct hit on a Turkish fort, killing 86 Turkish soldiers. Ten days later, a fatwah was issued proclaiming a jihad against British, French and Russian infidels.
own light d n e g lo a H v 2 1 ice for Led’s v r e s t n e m e c repla
On 18 March, 1915 the day had come for Britain and her allies to “force the Dardanelles”. A massive force; the pride of the British Fleet, assembled at the mouth of the Dardanelles. Eighteen battleships then attempted to ram their way through with disastrous results. Six were either sunk or damaged to the point of being out of commission. It was then that the realisation came. There was no way to “force the Dardanelles” without the assistance of ground troops to knock out the forts that so successfully protected the waterway. It was known from the outset what would be faced on the shores of Gallipoli. One commander called his troops together and told them “Boys, the General informs me that it will take several battleships and destroyers to carry our brigade to Gallipoli; a barge will be sufficient to take us home again.” It was before sunrise on 25th of April, as the troops approached the Gallipoli shore in boats that a single shot rang out followed by a barrage of heavy fire. It had begun. One Australian was heard to say “They want to cut that shooting out. Somebody might get killed.” It was a day that will live in history books forevermore. Troops that had been gathered from across the states of Australia, most untested in battle, stormed the cliffs and well-defended trenches of the Turkish troops at great cost. By the end of the day, the severity of the situation was apparent, and dis-
cussions were held in ships offshore as to whether to abandon the operation and evacuate the troops not yet killed. It was considered doubtful they could hold their tenuous positions and would soon be pushed back into the sea. Hang on they did though. Against tremendous opposition, and with death and disease all around them. (In some months during the campaign, more men died of disease than of Turkish bullets and shells. The squalid conditions, poor supply lines, fleas, lice and flies in their billions lead to the proliferation of diseases and deadly infection.) What was planned as an attack of ground troops to facilitate a naval operation to “force the Dardanelles”. What occurred was a land operation that was assisted by naval support with bombardments of Turkish positions from the sea. Eventually even the naval support was wound back after the sinking of the British battleship Triumph by a German U-boat. The troops were left clinging to the edge of the Gallipoli Peninsula until they evacuated on 9 January, 1916. Perhaps the last word on the debacle that was Gallipoli should be left to Australia’s official war correspondent, Charles Bean, who wrote: “Remote though the conflict was, so completely did it absorb the people’s energies, so completely concentrate and unify their efforts, that it is possible for those who lived among the events to say that in those days Australia became fully conscious of itself as a nation.”

Eager for adventure, they came from country towns and farms, suburbs and cities, driven by a sense of patriotic duty. From a population of fewer than five million, 417,000 men enlisted. By the end of the war, more than 60,000 Australians had been killed and 156,000 wounded, gassed or taken prisoner. Among those to answer the call were Indigenous Australians. Although they faced considerable hurdles to enlist, we now know around 1,300 Indigenous Australians served in the First World War. Authorised by B. Billson MP, 20 Davey Street, Frankston VIC 3199.

OUR ANZACS
A tragic year for the Bartrams By Peter McCullough Frankston’s Avenue of Honour In her book “Echoes from the Front�, Val Latimer tells how as early as 1917 a committee was formed to honour all those from the Frankston District who served in World War One. This was to take the form of an Avenue of Honour along Melbourne Road, now the Nepean Highway. Trees were planted and brass plates were fixed to posts in front of each tree. By 1957 work was underway for the construction of a new six lane highway: the trees were removed and the plates placed in storage. Of the original 216 name plates when the Avenue was established, only 153 were still in existence when the removal took place. It was 1997 before the new Avenue of Honour was established, with memorial gardens placed along the centre strip of the Nepean Highway. The new memorial, however, contained 228 names and there were many other “locals� who were not listed; Mrs Latimer’s research found 50 from Frankston and local areas whose families did not respond to the call for names to be included when the Avenue was being planned. On the other hand the legitimacy of some of the names submitted could be questioned. Were they really volunteers from the Frankston district? Several lived elsewhere but played football for Frankston, while some, such as Montague Romeo, lived in Hastings but worked in Frankston. (An article on Private Romeo’s contribution is featured elsewhere in this edition.) And that brings us to the Bartram family: all four Bartram

The Bartrams The Bartram boys were born in Richmond, sons of George Andrew and Isabella (nee Shands). All four enlisted in Melbourne, presumably at the Town Hall. Isabella died in August, 1915 aged 57 and in October the following year George and two of his daughters were residing at a new address: “Clare”, in Gould Street, Frankston. So, although technically they were not Frankston citizens, when the call went out for nominations for the Avenue of Honour, the names of the four boys were submitted by the family. As the heading indicates, 1917 was a horror year for the Bartram family as three of the boys were killed and the surviving brother was invalided home with spinal meningitis. This is the story of the sons of George and Isabella Bartram: Bartram, Arnold Roy (Private). Service No. 2304: Arnold was 21, single, a shipping clerk, and living at home (9 Hull Street, Richmond) when he enlisted on 6th June, 1916. An earlier attempt to enlist had been unsuccessful on the grounds of “chest”; in the early years the army required a chest measurement of 34 inches at least. Private Bartram embarked with his brother, Cyril, at Melbourne on HMAT A67 Orsova on 1st August, 1916 with the 58th Battalion 4th Reinforcements, arriving at Portsmouth on 14th September. On 6th December he left Folkestone for France to reinforce the 60th Battalion where he was taken on strength on 5th January. On 12th May, 1917 Private Bartram was recommended for special recog-

nition: “At Bullecourt on the evening of 12th May, Private Arnold Roy Bartram displayed conspicuous courage and devotion to duty. Rendered valuable assistance in carrying in wounded from No Man’s Land when under very shellfire, without the least regard to his own safety. This deserves special recognition.” The recommendation was not gazetted. On 13th May, 1917 Private Bartram, still only 21, died from a gunshot wound to the abdomen. From reports he was getting into a shell hole at Bullecourt to help a wounded man when he was shot by a sniper and died the next day. He was buried at Grevillers British Cemetery 1½ miles west of Bapaume. On 26th May 1917 the family death notice appeared in the Argus and concluded with the inscription: “Fearless minds climb soonest unto crowns.” However, as sometimes happened in these tragic times, a mistake occurred involving Private Bartram which, for a time, would have given his family false hopes. A report in the Mornington Standard on 3rd November, 1917 stated: “It has been officially reported through the Red Cross Bureau that Private Arnold R. Bartram, “Clare”, Gould Street, Frankston (late Manager of Wine, Spirit and Tobacco Department, Mutual Store) is a POW in Germany. He was previously reported died of wounds at 29th Casualty Clearing Station on 13th May, 1917.” This report appeared shortly after the death of brother Reginald and two death notices which appeared in the Argus, only days apart, illustrate the confusion which existed. Late in October Cyril, by now back in Melbourne, inserted this notice: BARTRAM – In proud and loving memory of my brother, Reg.,killed in

action 4th October, and of Arn., killed at Bullecourt, and Ray, killed at Messines. “Three very gallant gentlemen.” On 3rd November, the same day as the report in the Mornington Standard, the following notice was placed by “devoted sisters” Ethel and Clarice: BARTRAM – A token of love in the memory of our dear brother, Cpl. Reginald Percy who was killed in action on 4th October, 1917, brother of Raymond Everard (killed in action 7th June, 1917) and Arnold Roy (prisoner of war). Nobody knows how much we miss them; How much of love, and life, and joy Has passed on with our darling boys. At night in a beautiful dream they will come And visit us all at the old dear home; Unknown to their loved ones they will stand by our side, And whisper the words “Death cannot divide.” In due course the report in the Mornington Standard was withdrawn and the family accepted that Arnold had been killed at Bullecourt. Later his sister, Ethel Muriel Bartram of “Clare”, Gould Street, Frankston wrote in the Roll of Honour particulars that her brother had been a private in the Yarra Borderers Citizen Forces for three years before enlisting. Among his duties was being a Permanent Guard at the Domain. In March, 1918 the family received Arnold’s effects which arrived on the Marathon: “ identity disc, religious medallion, stylo pen, pipe (damaged), razor, 2 badges, 6 coins, compass on wrist strap, chevron, testament, 2 wallets, photo, cards, lock of hair, charm.” Two of Arnold’s sisters, Ethel Muriel and Clarice Edna, were named as

joint beneficiaries of his will. Be that as it may his father, George, was granted a pension of one pound a fortnight as from 26th July, 1917. This was increased to two pounds a fortnight as from 1st September, 1917. By 1922 Arnold’s father had received his medals, plus the Memorial Scroll and Memorial Plaque. Bartram, Cyril George (Private). Service No. 2126: Cyril was the “lucky” brother – that is if you can call being invalided home with spinal meningitis as being “lucky.” Born in Richmond, Cyril gave his father George as his next–of–kin when he enlisted on 1st May, 1916. At some point over the next few months he married Eliza MacGregor Murray and was living with his new wife in Gillies Street, Fairfield when he embarked. Cyril was 26 and a manager at the time of his enlistment. As mentioned earlier, Cyril and Arnold embarked on HMAT A67 Orsova on 1st August, 1916 with the 58th Battalion 4th Reinforcements, disembarking at Plymouth on 14th September. Cyril’s health had deteriorated during the voyage
and he was admitted to the military hospital at Devonport on his arrival. By January, 1917 Cyril was “dangerously ill” with influenza. During convalescence he developed spinal meningitis and left for Australia on the Demosthenes on 27th July, 1917. After arriving home on 24th August, Cyril was discharged from the AIF on 26th October, 1917. Cyril was not eligible for the 1914-15 Star Medal, nor the Victory Medal as he did not serve in a theatre of war. However he was sent the British War Medal but this was returned in May of 1923; perhaps it had been sent to the wrong address? On 17th July, 1924 it was again despatched – this time to Gillies Street, Fairfield. Cyril must have recovered reasonably well from his illness for he was elected to the Sandringham Council and became mayor in 1928. Cyril and his wife had no children but adopted the three sons of Reginald who was killed in October, 1917: Ernest George (born 1906), Reginald Arthur (1908), and William Blockley (1910). The youngest of these boys died in 1925 aged 15. Cyril’s wife, Eliza, died in 1942 aged 51 but Cyril lived until January, 1947 when he died at Caulfield, aged 57.

OUR ANZACS Bartram, Raymond Everard (Sergeant). Service No. 2682: Also born in Richmond and living at home with his parents in Hull Street, Ray, as he was generally known, was the first brother to enlist – on 3rd July, 1915. He had attempted to enlist earlier but had been rejected because of dental problems. He was 21, single and a machinist. On 15th September 1915 he embarked at Melbourne on SS Makarini as part of the 8th Reinforcements of the 14th Battalion. In October, 1915 Ray was admitted to hospital in Heliopolis “dangerously ill” with appendicitis. Two months later he was again back in hospital in Luxor, again with appendicitis. In January, 1916 he was taken on strength with the 46th Battalion and was again hospitalized in Egypt with “pains in the groin.” In March, 1916 Ray blotted his copybook for his record states: “Crime: Pilfering goods at Abu-Sueur Railway Station of 30.3.16. Award: Awarded 14 days detention by CO 46th Battalion AIF at Serapeum 4.4.16. Forfeiture of 14 days pay.” By 8th June Ray had joined the BEF in France. In July, 1916 the 46th Battalion occupied the Front Line at Sailly-le-Sec and the following month participated in the Battle of Pozieres. In October Raymond was admitted to hospital on several occasions with “septic hands.” His earlier misdemeanour notwithstanding, he was promot-
ed to Corporal in December, 1916, and then to Sergeant on 18th February, 1917. At the time of his death on 7th June, 1917 Sergeant Bartram was leading a party carrying rations to the front line on the first morning of the Messines advance. A shell exploded killing him and six others. Eye witnesses reported that he was buried at Gooseberry Farm nearby. Later his remains were re-interred at Messines Ridge British Cemetery six miles south of Ypres, Belgium. On 6th April 1918 the Mornington Standard reported on the 7th Presentation to Frankston Volunteers: “In handing medals to Mr. Bartram, Dr. Plowman made feeling reference to the fact that of Mr. Bartram’s four boys who had volunteered, three had made the supreme sacrifice, and one had been invalided home totally unfit for further service. He (Dr. Plowman) extended heartfelt sympathy to Mr. Bartram in his great sorrow, but felt sure he would take comfort from the fact that his sons had died a glorious death, fighting nobly for Australia, and for our security and honour.” If the death notices printed here are any guide, not all members of the family shared Dr. Plowman’s euphoria. The same deep sadness was reflected in the noticed placed in the Argus on 4th July, 1917: BARTRAM – Killed in action on 7th May. Sergt. Raymond Everard, second youngest dearly loved son of George and the late Isabella Bartram, and brother of Reg. and Cyril (both on active service) and Arnold (died of wounds) and Evelyn, Ethel

OUR ANZACS and Clarice, – aged 23 years. Our dear boys, crowned by the glimmer of glittering steel, but dimmed by the weight of tears. Duty nobly done. Ray Bartram obviously travelled light for in early 1918 the package of personal effects arrived via the Ulysses: “disc, photos, small book.” In August, 1918 the names of the three Bartram brothers were listed among those who were killed and the family was presented with certificates by the Shire of Frankston. In his will Ray left his estate to sisters Ethel and Clarice, brother Arnold (who pre-deceased him) and Miss Esther Macdonald of 5 Milton Street, South Preston; quite possibly a sweetheart left behind. Between 1921 and 1923 his father, George, received Ray’s medals, his Memorial Scroll and Memorial Plaque.
George died in 1923 aged 65. Bartram, Reginald Percy. (Lance/Corporal) Service No. 6955: Again, born in Richmond, Reginald was 34, a compositor, married with three sons and living in Florence Street, Moreland. He had married Lucy Mary Boughton in 1905. Known as Reg., he was the last of the Bartram boys to enlist, joining up on the 25th August, 1916. Embarking at Melbourne on HMAT A20 Hororata on 23rd November, 1916 with the 8th Battalion 23rd Reinforcements, Private Bartram arrived in Plymouth on 29th January, 1917. Reg. Bartram’s life was not without complications for, during the journey to England, he fired off a letter to Base Records: At Sea 6.12.1916 From No. 6955 Corp. R.P. Bartram 23/8 Reinforcements.
To C.O. Base Records, Melbourne. Drawing attention to the fact that the name of Mrs. Lucy M. Bartram has been placed on my attestation papers as my next–of–kin and her address as 3 Florence Street, Moreland. As my wife has been mentally afflicted for the last seven years, and is an inmate of Mont Park Asylum for the insane, it would be manifestly absurd to forward any communication to her regarding anything that might happen to me. 3 Florence Street, Moreland is the address I gave when enlisting, for I was living there at the time. Should I be killed or meet with an injury, I would be obliged if you would forward the information to my sister, Mrs. W. Dingey, Union Street, Kew. R.P. Barton Corporal No. 6955.

OUR ANZACS als were to be sent to his son (Ernest George Barton) at the Kew address. This information notwithstanding, when Lance/ Corporal Bartram’s personal effects were despatched on the Barunga on 20th June, 1918 they were addressed to Mrs. L. Bartram, 3 Florence Street, Moreland. This was in spite of the fact that the aunt, Mrs. Dingey, had written requesting that any effects be sent to the sons at her address. The effects consisted of : “disc, belt, photo case, letters, note book, cards, book of views, badges, testament.” As it turned out there was no dispute as to the destination of the effects as the Barunga was lost at sea. However the war pension records show that “Lucie” (Lucy) of Mont Park Asylum was granted two pounds a fortnight as from 23rd December, 1917. The address of her sons was recorded as “Melbourne Orphan Asylum” and two of them were granted pensions: Ernest George 20 shillings a fortnight and Reginald Arthur 15 shillings a fortnight.

son was considered too young to draw a pension! As it turned out, Lucy lived until well into her ‘80’s, dying at the Ararat Asylum in 1964. In his will Reg. left his estate to be held in trust for his three sons until they reached the age of 21. Although the boys were subsequently adopted by Cyril and his wife, the will appointed as guardians his sister (Evelyn Constance Dingey) and her husband (William Dingey) who were permitted access to the capital for each son for “his maintenance, education or advancement in life.” Lance/Corporal Bartram was killed in action on 4th October, 1917. From reports to the Red Cross, he was making an advance at the time of his death, having just gone over the top at Passchendaele Ridge. One eyewitness said that he saw a burial party, drawn from the 40th Battalion, burying him later that day. It was in the open, near a German pillbox, and about 1½ miles from Passchendaele Ridge.

OUR ANZACS never found and his name is on the memorial panel 127 at the Ypres Memorial (Menin Gate) in Belgium. With the large number of casualties it was possibly inevitable that the occasional error would occur. This happened to the last of the Bartram brothers to be listed as KIA and drew a blunt response from brother Cyril who was still convalescing and no doubt inclined to be a bit testy: “Clare”, Frankston. 16.11.17. Base Records, Melbourne. I notice in Casualty List No. 352, as published in the “Herald”, “Age”, and “Argus” you have inserted my brother’s name: 6955 A/Corporal R.P. Bartram as A/Corporal R.P. Bartman. In view of the sacrifices our family has made, surely we are entitled to expect your reports to be accurate. I will thank you to publish a correction. Yours faithfully, C. Bartram. From Base Records came a chastened reply: 5th December, 1917.
Dear Sir, In reply to your communication of 16th instant, with reference to the name of your brother, the late No. 6955, Acting Corporal R.P. Bartram, 37th Battalion having been incorrectly spelt in Casualty List 352, I have to state the error which is regretted and which escaped the detection of the checkers during a particularly busy period, is being corrected by a corrigendum attached to Casualty List 371. Yours faithfully, Officer Base Records, Major. To Mr. C. Bartram, “Clare”, Frankston, V.

Copies of her book can be obtained for $25 from the Mornington Peninsula Family History Society which is located in the Recreation Centre in Tower Hill Road, Frankston.

The Western Front – where the Bartrams rest 1. BULLECOURT – Arnold Roy Bartram, KIA 13th May, 1917. BULLECOURT was the scene of two costly battles for the AIF, the first beginning in the bitterly cold dawn of 11th April, 1917 when, after a night lying in the snow, Australians of the 4th Division were ordered to attack the main German defensive position, the Hindenberg Line. They were supposed to be backed up by British tanks and military, but neither of these eventuated. Although tanks had been used in the Battle of the Somme six months earlier, they were relatively untested. However the “mastermind” of the First Battle of Bullecourt (General Hubert Gough) was excited when promised 12 tanks to help break down the German wire and clear a path for the infantry. Only four of the tanks made it to their positions – the others had either broken down, got lost or become stuck in the mud. In fact the situation provided sufficient material for a Monty Python comedy sketch. At one point a tank lumbered up to the Australian line, turned, and began firing its machine gun at them. After a chorus of shouts from the Australians a hatch opened in the side of the tank, and the head of a British officer appeared, asking which troops they were, and could they please re-direct him to the German lines! Duly instructed, the tank set off only to be destroyed by a shell minutes later. When the Australians did advance, they were cut off by German artillery and machine guns. After ten hours a withdrawal was ordered, and the surviving Australians had to fight their way back to their original positions. The two brigades involved – the 4th and the 12th – had lost 3,300 men between them, including 1,170 men taken prisoner. This was the largest number of Australians captured during
PAGE 12

a single engagement in the war, and was exceeded only when Singapore fell in 1942. The battle was later used by the British staff as a model of failed planning. The Second Battle of Bullecourt, from 3rd – 17th May, was somewhat better planned. The 2nd Division was to take the German positions in the village of Bullecourt and they succeeded using 96 Vickers machine guns and the tried and tested artillery creeping barrage; an offer of tank support was pointedly declined! Even with better planning, the attack cost the three Australian Divisions (1st, 2nd and 5th) another 7,000 casualties. And the gain? Less than a mile. The Germans suffered similar casualties. The second attack proved that the Hindenberg Line was not impregnable, as the Germans had tried to make out. One very important lesson was learned though. Whenever the Germans lost ground they counter–attacked, This resulted in heavy German casualties – men they could ill-afford to lose. Therefore, whenever the Allies took German positions, they planned for a counter–attack and set up machine gun posts accordingly and gave artillery units the required intelligence they needed. (Footnote: One of those captured on 11th April, 1917 in the First Battle of Bullecourt was Lance/Corporal Reginald Norman Coates (Serial No. 757). A member of 14th Battalion, he was wounded (“metallic fragments in the arm”) and, after a stay in hospital, he saw out the war in Soltau POW camp, being repatriated to England on 26th December, 1918. Reg. Coates was the grandfather of an old school friend – Bill Ford – and I was fortunate enough to be able to chat to him in his later years. Time never diminished his dislike of the tank. –Peter McCullough.)

2. MESSINES RIDGE – Raymond Everard Bartram, KIA 7th June, 1917. THE Battle of Messines, fought on 7th June, 1917, was the first large– scale operation involving Australian troops in Belgium. The primary objective was the strategically important Wytschaete–Messines Ridge, the high ground south of Ypres. The Germans used this ridge as a salient into the British lines, building their defence
along its ten mile length. Messines was an important success for the British army leading up to the Third Battle of Ypres, culminating in the Battle of Passchendaele several months later. For years Australian, British and Canadian miners had engaged in subterranean warfare digging an intricate tunnel system under the enemy’s front line. These tunnels were packed with massive charges of explosives designed
to obliterate enemy defences. More than 1,000,000 pounds of high explosive were packed into underground chambers along a seven mile front. The main Australian effort was at Hill 60 and their work was made famous in a book by Will Davies “Beneath Hill 60” and a feature film of the same name. The Hill 60 mine created a crater 60 feet deep and 260 feet wide. At 3.10am on 7th June 1917, nine-
OUR ANZACS teen powerful mines exploded under the German trenches along the Wytschaete–Messines Ridge. The ground erupted into pillars of fire and earth, instantly obliterating the thousands of German troops above. The German survivors were largely stunned and demoralized due to the great concussion of the blasts, the heavy artillery barrage, and the heavy machine gun fire that now poured upon them. Many German prisoners were taken during this phase Some 10,000 men were killed in the explosion alone and British troops 400 yards away were blown off their feet. Londoners, including Lloyd George in Downing Street, heard the blast which shook all of southern England. As well as the casualties, the scale of the mine explosions both neutralized the enemy’s guns and disrupted their planned counter–attack. Heavily supported by great volumes of artillery fire, the British troops surged forward to capture the enemy positions. The 3rd Australian Division under Major-General John Monash, entering battle for the first time, was anxious to prove itself worthy of the reputation of the other divisions. The veteran divisions were dismissive of the 3rd and derided their late entry into the war by calling its men “the neutrals.” The 3rd Division had a point to prove. It made a very successful attack, alongside the NZ Division, just south of the Messines village. The other Australian division involved, the 4th, made a follow-up attack later in the day. Although some fighting continued, the result was virtually decided by the end of the first evening with the ridge being taken and enemy counter–attacks repulsed. The village of Messines was captured and pill boxes were isolated and destroyed. It is generally agreed that the Battle of Messines was the most successful local operation of the war, certainly on the Western Front. This success notwithstanding Allied casualties amounted to 13,500 with 6,800 of them being Australians.

June, 1917. The details of their precise location were mislaid by the British following the war, to the discomfort of local townspeople. A thunderstorm in 1955 detonated one of the mines with the only casualty being a dead cow. The other mine remained undetected until 2004 when the Daily Telegraph carried a report: “50,000 Pound WW1 Bomb Found Under Belgian Farm.”Modern technology had eventually located the last mine. The farmer was unconcerned: “It’s been there all that time, why should it blow up now?” 3. PASSCHENDAELE (THE THIRD BATTLE OF YPRES)-Reginald Percy Bartram. KIA 4th Oct. 1917 THE Battle of Passchendaele was the final chapter in the saga that was the Third Battle Of Ypres, a monumental effort to drive the Germans from the high ground of the Ypres Salient. Passchendaele was meticulously planned and relied on limited infantry advances supported by creeping artillery

barrages that would force the Germans from their strongholds overlooking Ypres. Australian troops had played important roles in earlier advances during Third Ypres, attacking at Menin Road and Polygon Wood in September, and Broodseinde Ridge in early October. As mentioned previously, they had been instrumental in sweeping the Germans from one of their strongest defensive positions at Messines Ridge in June, clearing the way for the Third Battle of Ypres to begin. On 4th October the Australian 1st, 2nd and 3rd Divisions had advanced up Broodseinde Ridge and captured key German positions on the slopes below the village of Passchendaele. The attack had been a triumph, catching the Germans completely off guard and forcing them to fall back on a wide front. Although the attack cost the Australians more than 6,500 men, it is considered one of their finest victories of the war. Now it was time to tackle Passchendaele itself. The grim conditions notwithstanding, the Australians never lost their sense of humour. On the
morning of 4th October a small group captured a German pill box where they found two crates of carrier pigeons. These were intended to keep German commanders informed of progress in the battle; instead a number of them were used to transport messages from the Australians of an obscene and personal nature, particularly pertaining to the Kaiser. The remaining pigeons were plucked and stewed. At noon on 4th October the weather changed: rain began to fall which by 8th October had become torrential. The battlefield, pummelled by years of shellfire, became a sea of mud. Unfortunately the British commander-in-chief, Field Marshall Sir Douglas Haig, was not to be deterred. In a war characterized by incompetent decision making, Haig’s call to attack Passchendaele was a standout. The first advance on 9th October which involved the 2nd Division was not a success and illustrates the great problem of Passchendaele. The previous attacks during the Third Battle of
decimated by German fire. In the face of mounting casualties the Australians withdrew. The decision to attack had been ludicrous, the attack itself a disaster. The two Australian divisions had lost more than 4,200 men between them. It was estimated that whereas “ground gained� at Messines cost one man per yard, the cost at Passchendaele was 35 men per yard. One stretcher–bearer described the journey to the Regimental Aid Post as a “terrible undertaking: the distance to be covered was less than 1,000 yards but it took six men, four, five, even six hours to do the trip.� Many of the wounded were drowned in the mud and water. The Australians were relieved by the Canadian Corps, which spent the next two weeks slogging up the same ridge in the same atrocious conditions with Australians supporting their flanks. Eventually the Canadians captured Passchendaele. Even though it was a “victory� in the sense that the village was eventually taken, the British troops were so weakened by the attack that they were left dangerously exposed to a German counter–attack. The Germans exploited this in March, 1918. During their Spring Offensive they swept down the ridge and recaptured Passchendaele .
Ypres relied on fresh troops advancing under the cover of accurate artillery fire. At Passchendaele both advantages were absent. The troops were exhausted from the slog through the mud to reach the front line and the artillery became bogged and could not reach its proper positions to support the advance. The quagmire was so deep that field guns needed timber platforms laid on a bed of fascines and road metal. Even then they started to sink after firing a few shells, and soon red flags marked positions where guns had sunk altogether. One soldier told how the march to the front line, which would normally take 1 to 1½ hours, took 11 ½ hours through thigh–deep mud. The second stage of the advance, the attack on Passchendaele itself, was launched on 12th October and involved the 3rd and 4th Divisions alongside the NZ Division. The troops came under fire from the outset, the limited cover from the weak artillery barrage proving totally ineffective. The advancing troops were struggling in the mud and soon became disoriented and lost touch with the barrage. The situation was hopeless. The Australians had only taken a few of their objectives and were being

OUR ANZACS
Montague Romeo: rejected four times but paid the supreme sacrifice By Peter McCullough MONTAGUE Romeo was born in Hastings to Charles and Katherine (nee Howard) Romeo in 1894. He first enlisted in Hastings on 11th September, 1914 but was discharged on 5th October, 1914 as being “unlikely to become an efficient soldier.” No reason was given in the official records for this assessment although his medical inspection noted “lower teeth deficient.” Moreover his height was only 5 feet 2 ¾ inches and in 1914 the army was seeking men of a minimum of 5 feet 8 inches. After several more unsuccessful attempts to enlist, Montague Romeo was finally accepted on 28th September, 1916. By this time he was 22, a driver and living in Hastings. He was still single and listed his father Charles as next–of–kin. Private Romeo (Regimental No. 7073) embarked from Melbourne on the Hororata on 23rd November, 1916 with the 23rd Reinforcements of the 6th Battalion. After disembarking at Plymouth on 29th January, 1917 the reinforcements moved into training camp before proceeding to France in early May. On 25th May, 1917 Private Romeo was taken on strength with the 6th Battalion. Within four months (on 20th September, 1917) Private Romeo was wounded in the Battle of Menin Road and was transferred to the Beaufort War Hospital in Bristol suffering from gunshot wounds to the left thigh and forearm. After his recovery Private Romeo was given some furlough in England before rejoining his battalion on 29th December. On 5th June, 1918 he was killed in action in Strazeele, France. One of Private Romeo’s sisters must have written requesting a photograph
of the grave. The first response, presumably typed by Private Dale on 31st December, 1918 (and not 1917), gives an account of Private Romeo’s death, but neither it nor the response by Private Bleasdale can shed any light on the grave site. Presumably there wasn’t one for Private Montague’s name is recorded on the Australian War Memorial at Villers Bretonneux which lists Australian soldiers with no known grave. The family notices were placed in The Argus on 21st June, 1918 and the loss was recorded in the Mornington Standard on the following day: “Hastings. Great regret was expressed on all sides when the news was received of the death in action of Private Romeo, who was well-known and highly esteemed here. Monty tried unsuccessfully to enlist on four occasions before he was accepted. He was previously wounded in France, invalided to England, but returned again to the firing line. For three years previous to the war he was employed by Mr. Cunningham of Frankston, and in that town also his quiet and unassuming manner and gentlemanly qualities made him a general favourite. Heartfelt sympathy is felt for his parents and relatives who reside here.” In February the family received a parcel of private Romeo’s belongings and Katherine, the grieving mother, thanked Base Records for their kindness. One can only imagine the distress caused to the families when these parcels arrived. During the following years his father Charles received the British War Medal and Victory Medal, the Memorial Scroll and finally, on 6th November, 1922, the Memorial Plaque.

By Bob Thornhill WE bounce across the sea in the new morning, looking back to where suburban Melbourne unfolds the Sunday morning paper and reaches for another croissant. We’re heading for history in the shape of a sunken ship, and I’m heading for a meeting with my father. The Uralba was a wooden hulled vessel, built for the North Coast Steam Navigation Company, but pressed into service by the Navy as soon as she was completed. Being wooden hulled, the last of her kind, she was an ideal ship to serve as a minefield tender, having very little metal to attract mines. She also doubled as an armament and stores carrier between Brisbane and Milne Bay, and it was there that she carried supplies to my father, along with other members of his anti-aircraft contingent. Dad told me that the first thing they all did as they cleared the Brisbane River on their way to the steamy tropics and Milne Bay was to jettison their heavy woollen underwear, provided by a thoughtful Government. There were two guns on the Uralba, mounted fore and aft, similar to the guns Dad trained on before going through jungle training hell at Canungra. Dad was a predictor on a Bofors crew, labouring with the clumsy mechanical computer he was so proud of, calling the gun-layer to place the rapid-fire rounds in the path of approaching Zekes, Betty bombers and Emily flying boats, aircraft which I would dive on over fifty years later in clear tropical waters. Whenever one of the slim-waisted frigates of the Navy was in town, he’d take us to the docks at Port Melbourne to visit her. If we were lucky, we’d be welcomed along the narrow gangway, and Dad would sit us in the seat he used to occupy in the War. I could never get used to how few of my small footsteps it took to get from one side rail to the other. I’m floating in front of the Uralba now, looking up at her bow through the murky water. All around me is brown – brown water, brown ship. Port Phillip isn’t always a kind resting-place for a ship, and today I can see little further than my hand. Touching the ship will stir up silt, yet I cannot resist reaching out to her as if touching a talisman. My father, dead after twenty years of peace, seems very close to me now. With the others I fin the length of the ship, still a mystery to us, shrouded as she is in brown. We need torches to read our gauges; the summer sun won’t reach down here, even though we’re but twenty metres below our waiting boat. Much of the time we’re working our reels, paying out line to follow back to our starting point. There’s no armament on the Uralba now, and no superstructure. It’s all been cleared away, no sign of her original two masts, they’ve cleared the deck, smashing away history to preserve the safety of latter-day shipping. I wonder why you’d scuttle a ship in such shallow waters if you then have to decapitate her in an underwater clear-felling. We fin over hatches, too filled with silt to penetrate today. They’re festooned with necklaces of fishing line. The brightly – coloured jigs and lures flash in the torchlight as we fill our pockets, trying to rid the Uralba of the deadly jewellery that snares so much of our aquatic life. I drift slowly along the hull, taking in the ship two feet at a time, all I can see. I’m looking for a hatch that might give on to a bunkroom, perhaps where my father slept in those perilous nights on the Coral Sea. But I don’t find one, and now my buddy’s giving me a thumbs-up, the signal to ascend, one you don’t question in wreck diving. I take a last look at the Uralba and follow my bubbles up. As we hang at the safety stop I look down, trying to picture her as she lies fifteen metres below us, concealed in the murk. She lies there in a mantle of sepia, much like the pictures of my father in wartime Milne Bay.

WHEN it comes to real estate, watching what the experts do can prove to be invaluable. At Hidden Harbour, Martha Cove, this is particularly true with at least six of the peninsula’s leading real estate agents taking up residence in the estate proving it is one of the hottest locations to buy on the Mornington Peninsula. “The lifestyle offers everything we hoped for and more. Our outlook across open parklands and the green rolling hills of the peninsula is something we could never tire of. The extensive walking tracks and proximity to the water’s edge makes every day feel as if we are on a holiday.” said Stuart Cox from Jacobs & Lowe Real Estate who moved in six months ago. In the past two years, property sales at Martha Cove have totalled almost $500 million, with only 52 out of 350 lots remaining. Hidden Harbour is the developer’s final release at Martha Cove, with lots starting from as low as $305,000. Lots are only 50 metres from the water and offer both north and south orientation, and located at the end of the street are parks and gardens with playgrounds and walking tracks. The chance to live beside an inland marina has seen the land sell remarkably quickly and opportunities for buyers to purchase at this low price point are running out.

A new honour for a Bomber Command veteran By Peter McCullough LATE in 2014 Keith Stevens, DFM, a long-time resident of the Village Glen at Rosebud, was informed that the President of the Republic of France had awarded him the highest level of chevalier (or knight) of the French Legion of Honour. The award is recognition for “..risking your life for the liberation of our country 70 years ago.” This latest honour adds to those previously received: the Distinguished Flying Medal (DFM), which was presented by the King at Buckingham Palace, and some 20 others from UK, French, Polish, and Australian governments. Created in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte, Keith’s Legion of Honour is awarded because of the role he and his crew played on D-Day when they bombed and disabled the concrete gun emplacements on the French coast, making it possible for the Allied Forces to invade Normandy and ultimately defeat the German occupiers. Keith Stevens’ story could have been torn from the pages of a “Boys Own Annual.” He joined the RAAF in 1940, trained as a wireless operator/rear gunner, and subsequently flew 62 operations in a Lancaster with Bomber Command before being shot down over Occupied France. There he worked for three months with the French Resistance movement before escaping back to England. It is difficult to imagine what it was like being part of the crew of a Lancaster. “Ops” were always at night and lasted up to ten hours; it was freezing cold, oxygen masks were required, and there were inevitable problems with navigation, engines and equipment. They were shot at by enemy fighters, “coned” by searchlights, and hit by flak. Keith’s aircraft was disabled many times and he experienced some amazing survivals. At times up to 1000 planes were involved in an operation and the casualties were huge. Of every 100 men who flew with Bomber Command, 56 were killed;this second figure would have been about 90 for the early members of Bomber Command. Others became prisoners of war and/or suffered serious injuries. A “tour” of 30 operations was considered sufficient for crew members and most were then found jobs as instructors or ground crew. Only four percent completed two tours. Very few would have flown as many ops as Keith who was into his third tour. Several years ago, at the insistence of a fellow resident of the Village Glen, Keith recorded his experiences in a book titled “Flak...Fighters and Fliers – An Aussie with the RAF.” Because some of his first-hand accounts are so graphic it seemed best to quote directly from his autobiography on occasions. This is Keith’s story. *** Early Days Keith Stevens was born at Hampton Park on 21 February, 1919. His father, a builder, had been severely gassed on the Somme in World War One, and was
advised to move to the country. Accordingly, Keith’s parents purchased 12 acres in Pound Road where they grew produce for the Dandenong market. Keith and his older brother used to ride horses where the freeway now runs, and they would sell rabbits for sixpence a pair on the corner of Pound and Cranbourne Roads, both of which were gravel in those days. With the onset of the Depression further schooling was out of the question and in 1933 Keith walked the streets of Melbourne looking for work. He eventually gained a position in a clothing factory. After a few years he resigned to take up a motor mechanic apprenticeship, studying at night at the Working Men’s College (later RMIT). Keith eventually started his own business, leasing premises in South Melbourne from racing car driver Cec. Warren. He serviced the cars in Cec’s “stable”, including a Fraser Nash, a Bugatti (formerly owned by Malcolm Campbell), and the only Invicta in Australia. Joining the RAAF Keith had joined the Army Reserve and was soon called up when war broke out in September, 1939. However he decided that he would prefer the Air Force but discovered that, as he was not 21, parental permission was required. This was refused so Keith had to bide his time until 21 (February 1940) when he again visited the Air Force recruiting post. The officer-in-charge greeted him warmly with the reassuring words: “I’ve seen you before; you’re in a hurry to die, aren’t you?” There was another delay when he was informed during the medical examination that his tonsils were superfluous to requirements. Fortunately the doctor was an acquaintance (Keith had serviced his car) and he was able to expedite matters: the tonsils were removed at a small maternity hospital in Middle Park and a bed was installed in the Matron’s office for Keith’s recovery. After completing his initial training course at Bradfield Park in NSW, where it was decided that Keith’s eyesight was not good enough for him to be a pilot, he was informed that his lot was to be a wireless operator/rear gunner. Next it was off to Canada and a six month wireless course in an agricultural college at a place called Guelph. Doing Morse Code for eight hours a day was too much for some, and they fell by the wayside. The downside of Guelph was that the Canadians had chosen the same location to establish their cooking school; according to Keith some of their earlier attempts were not the best. From Guelph the group was sent to Mossbank in Saskatchewan to do a gunnery course. Keith was topping the class, prompting the instructor to pull him aside and warn him: “You are doing too well in gunnery and if you are not careful you won’t be a wireless operator. Instead you’ll be stuck in the rear-end turret, so you had better miss a few targets from now on.”

Bomber Command Once in England Keith soon formed part of an air crew which was selected pretty much at random by the pilot (Paul Hawkins). Shortly after they had commenced training flights Air Marshall Harris took over Bomber Command and decided on the first 1000 bomber raid to take place over Cologne on 30/31 May, 1942. To make up the numbers it would be necessary to use Operational Training Units, including the one to which Keith belonged. Briefings in those days were not particularly sophisticated: “This is the nearest way to the target and this is the best way to get home.” Later briefings were much different; they were more organized and included the use of pathfinders. Soon after the Cologne operation there was a similar raid over Essen. Keith’s account tells how easy it was
to get into trouble: “We were coming out of the target and were supposed to be heading home. I looked out of the plane and saw the Pole Star and thought , that’s funny, it’s on the port side. We are going the wrong way! I said to the Navigator Mac, ‘Why the hell have we got the Pole Star on the port side-we are going the wrong way.’He said not to be silly, it would be on the starboard side. I said, ‘Mac it’s on the port side, you’d better look at the astrodome.’ Mac took a look and said: ‘Good God, it is too!’ So he asked Paul what course he was following and he said, ‘Oh, blimey, I’ve put the compass on the wrong way round!’ So he turned the compass around. I think if we had kept going we would have ended up in Russia! We got home with just enough fuel to land.” (from “Flak...Fighters and Fliers”, Page 21).
Although these first two ops were in Wellingtons, the crew was then posted to 57 Squadron at Scampton which was being supplied with the newly-developed Lancasters. The squadron did quite a few raids on the Ruhr, Berlin, and various other targets, and half way through his first tour Keith was decorated with the Distinguished Flying Medal. Soon afterwards he was given a commission and became a Flight Lieutenant. During this time 617 Squadron was formed at Scampton and, because of his expertise in signals, the leader of the new squadron, Guy Gibson, borrowed Keith for many of their training missions. These were highly dangerous (sixty feet above the ground at night) but were a necessary preparation for the squadron’s famous “Dam Busters” raid.
Adventures Aplenty On the Ground #1 “An amazing thing happened at Scampton...We were all on parade this morning when all of a sudden there was this flash over the other side of the aerodrome and over the tannoy system came an announcement that a photo flash had dropped out of a bomber. The night before we had all the bombers lined up to go to Berlin and fog closed in so much that they had to cancel the raid, so all the
aircraft were lined up one after another, all the Lancasters, about 14 or 15 of them...Of course the photo flash set fire to the aircraft, which had a 4,000 pounder on, so you can imagine they were screaming for volunteers. Paul and I hopped on the side of a fire truck to see what we could do... Paul climbed into this Lancaster and started it up so that it wouldn’t get blown up. A 4,000 pounder blew up – the blast was incredible – but we got

our aircraft down into a paddock and the thing bogged! Anyway we saved the aircraft. We raced back to get another one and we put that in a different spot-it was so foggy you didn’t know where you were going – and that one got bogged as well! Then another aircraft blew up – I think we lost four aircraft with these 4,000 pounders exploding. As the fog cleared in the day we were all lined up – aircrew, ground crew and all – walking up the aerodrome picking all the broken bits of aircraft....We couldn’t leave it there, of course, as it would have ripped tyres up on take off or landings. The planes that Paul and I had got out were bogged to their axles with the weight of the 4,000 pounders. The next task was to get shovels and dig them out.” –Ibid, Pages 27-29. On the Ground #2: “When we were at East Kirkby, part of the bomb dump went up...a lot of these bombs had left
hand threads for when they put the fuses in the nose, and they thought that someone crossed the thread and went to turn it back. Well, if you turned it back it blew up. It killed eight or nine of the armourers. Luckily, it was on the edge of the bomb dump and didn’t get right into it. After that there was another one at Spilsby, which was a satellite aerodrome to East Kirkby. One night the crews were about to take off and there was an enormous explosion and the whole bomb dump went up...aircraft were stopped flying for about five minutes and, when they eventually took off, they had to make up time to get to the target at the right time.”– Ibid, Pages 75-76. And in the Air #1 (over Essen): “Most of our raids were called collectively ‘The Battle of the Ruhr.’ We bombed Essen, which was the most heavily defended target in Germany, and the most difficult to hit was the
Krupp works. We had some bad nights. On 13 January, 1943 we were the only squadron plane to get to the target and, boy, if you got one plane over Essen, then watch out! How we ever got out I will never know – we were badly shot up. Anyway we got home, but we crash–landed and the plane was written off.”–Ibid, Pages 36-37. In the Air Again #2 (over Berlin): “One night over Berlin we got lost on the way back. We got a wrong wind direction. Mac had done our course and we ended up over the top of a place called Osnabruck. We were caught in the searchlights and hit by flak at 18,000 feet. The aircraft started diving and we couldn’t stop it. Paul yelled for me to come and help him pull the stick back, but we weren’t succeeding much at all...Paul shouted to the Flight Engineer, ‘Cut the motors. Cut the motors.’ He cut the four motors, the stick gradually came back, and we pulled out. The bomb aimer swore blind that
we were below the level of a couple of church spires! When we opened the four motors, the rear gunner said he had never seen so much smoke and flame come out. Two of them started well and the other two spluttered and eventually got going. Then we found that we couldn’t stop the blasted plane from climbing, so we got it to a level where we could hold it for some time. Then Paul cut the motors and we drifted down; the motors were then activated and we would fly up again. This is the way we got home. When we got over the coast and were able to communicate they told us to bail out and send the aircraft into the sea. Mac refused to bail out saying ‘Steve’s parachute has been hit by flak. I’m not going to bail out and leave him behind.’ So we were then instructed to bail out the rest of the crew and the pilot and wireless operator could try and land it. The rest of the crew said they were not bailing out either. They were all jammed behind the main spar and
in a crash landing had a fair chance of not getting knocked about... We got to the end of the runway and Paul said ‘Righto Steve, leave the wireless and come and help me.’ So I went up and as we were coming in to land he said ‘Cut the throttles back’ and we just crash–landed ‘bang’ on the runway. The aircraft broke in half in the middle and you have never seen a greater bunch of rabbits come out of an aircraft. We came out of any holes we could find and there were plenty of them. We saw part of the tail plane behind us with the rear gunner in the turret, so we went back to get him out. When he got out he said ‘Hawkins, that’s the worst bloody landing you have ever done.’ He turned around, saw the rest of the plane further up the runway and fainted! He came good and we went and did our de-briefing. That was a rough one!”–Ibid, Pages 42-44. ...and Again #3 (Saving Mac): “I

OUR ANZACS used to go off the intercom as it annoyed me talking when I was trying to listen to the wireless. If I was needed, other crew members could press a button and a red light would come on. This night, returning from Nuremberg, the red light came on and I said ‘Yes Paul’. He said ‘Have a look at Mac. He’s gone nuts.’ I looked around and thought ‘What the devil is the matter with him?’ Then I realized he was short of oxygen. I unhooked my oxygen and hooked it onto Mac, got him on the bed behind the main spar and put the straps around him so that he couldn’t get up. I grabbed his portable oxygen bottle and took a few deep breaths which made me feel better. Oxygen depletion is like being intoxicatedyou think you can do things and you can’t. Later on, when we got back, the doctor told me that Mac was within 15 seconds of dying. I had just got him in time. The next problem was to navigate the aircraft back. Mac’s workings were confused so I gave Paul the best course I could from what we had. On landing they raced Mac off to hospital. He came good after a night in bed and his oxygen level had returned to normal.”–Ibid, Pages 44-45. The White Feather Keith’s bibliography contains a brief record of all 62 ops in which he participated before he was shot down. Very few were uneventful: there were a number of occasions when fuel ran low, and there were a number of crash landings. Operation 33 (20 June 1943) was a long flight which necessitated a landing at Maison–Blanche in French North Africa. The next operation (23 June) was Spezia (Italy): “...bombed battleships in harbour–port inner and starboard outer knocked out by flak over target – could not climb over Alps on way back to base in UK on two engines so we set course back to Maison–Blanche and, lo and behold, the idiots fired at us and hit us as we came in to land.”–Ibid, Page 280. The next operation (#35 on 28 June) was also eventful as the pilot passed out at the controls. It was after this op that the Wing Commander, noticing that Keith’s crew was the only one to complete 30 operations, decided to call an end to their tour. Keith was pro-
moted to Flight Lieutenant and ordered not to fly for six months. It was during 1943, towards the end of his first tour, that Keith received an anonymous letter from Australia. It contained a white feather and a letter which “...said that I had left Australia in its hour of greatest need, was living in luxury in hotels in London, going on leave all over England, and thoroughly enjoying myself at the Government’s expense. Australia was in dire straits – the Pacific war had started of course – and that I had left it. It finished up saying something like , this is the coward’s way of getting out of fighting for your own country.”–Ibid, Page 71. While Keith laughed the matter off, his Wing Commander took a dim view of the affair. Although he had been stood down for six months, Keith’s second tour started early (14 July 1943) when he started flying with different crews out of East Kirkby. Operation 42 over Munich on 14 October was again eventful: “...chased by two fighters – rear turret badly hit – pilot asked me to check rear gunner – I said we have to fly below 10,000 feet as the oxygen tube was broken, also intercom – dived to 9,000 feet – I then climbed into turret – what a mess – cold as I only had battle dress. Near UK coast Flight Engineer came down for me to return to wireless set – called up base and told them of our problems – they said to come on a priority landing.”– Ibid, Page 282. After operation 46 (Berlin on 22 November, 1943) Keith was again grounded for a rest from operations; this time on the orders of Air Marshall Harris and Air Vice Marshall Cochrane. However by 16 January, 1944 he was back in the air. Operation 49 was difficult as the Bomb Aimer was killed and Keith had to fill this role. Not being familiar with the task he had to ask the pilot to go around again: “...language on intercom very colourful.” Operation 61 was on D-Day (6 June, 1944) over the coast of Normandy: “Bombing gun emplacements above Sword Beach landings – great sight seeing Channel covered in invasion craft.” Off to the Palace Although Keith had been awarded the Distin-

OUR ANZACS guished Flying Medal half way through his first tour of duty, it was some twelve months later that he received his invitation to Buckingham Palace for the official presentation. Keith was allowed to take two friends: Anita (his fiancée) came down from Glasgow and Mrs. Anderson, a family friend, was also invited. The night before the presentation Keith and Anita stayed with Mrs. Anderson and there was a bombing raid: “...they practically blew the street out (but) luckily we didn’t get hit....The next day we...got the Tube to London, walked out to a taxi, and I was about to say ‘Take us to the Palace’ when the driver said ‘Oh. You’re going to the Palace are you, mate?’ I replied ‘I could shoot you. I have been looking forward all week to getting into a taxi and saying ‘Take us to the Palace.’ He replied ‘Oh. Every officer I see dressed up with two ladies today, I know they’re going there. I’ve taken so many already.’”–Ibid, Page 90. When a recipient was called forward they played the National Anthem; for Keith it was Waltzing Matilda! Keith had actually met the King previously when he, Churchill, and other leaders had visited Scampton immediately after the Dam Busters raid. As he pinned the decoration on Keith’s tunic the King said “I’ve met you before at Scampton, Stevens.” Keith however had observed the Lord Chamberlain whisper something to the King just before he stepped forward, so the King’s memory was not that good!

Shot Down Keith’s record of Operation 62 on the night of 7/8 July, 1944 reads as follows: “St. Leu D’Esserent caves storage site for V1 and V2 rockets-hit by flak on the way in – after bombing attacked by two fighters – A/C on fire, also holes in body of A/C – we decided to abandon A/C. Bailed out at 18,000 feet – lack of oxygen a big problem – hit tail plane with head and shoulder – A/C being shot down all round – enemy shooting down parachutes but missed me – landed on enemy territory – rather hard.”–Ibid, Page 286. (The raid had in fact been a success and probably saved London from attacks by a further 4,000 rockets.) After travelling at night to elude the Germans, Keith was eventually captured and taken for interrogation by a Gestapo officer. “Then he did the unforgivable thing, which you never do to the enemy...he turned his back on me...I dived into the back of him, hand over his mouth, knee in the back of his neck, and pulled his head back with both hands. Whether I broke his neck I’m not sure, but in my sleeve I had a hacksaw blade which was sharpened on one end like a razor, and that came in very useful. I left him on the floor and dived out the window...I wondered how the devil I was going to get out of all this.”–Ibid, Page 115. Keith spent several more days on the run before taking his chance with a couple of peasants who came along in a dray. They took him to their farmhouse and when it was dark a solidly built Frenchman named Georges Morel paid a visit. His intention was to cut Keith’s throat but, after some quick talking by Keith, he left only to return with Madam Violet, the leader of the French Resistance in that northern part of France. For the next three months Keith was hidden by members of the Resistance and even participated in some of their ventures. On one occasion he went with a group to blow up a railway bridge but the mission was not successful. Next day a Frenchman rushed into the estaminet (or bar) where Keith was hiding and kissed him on both cheeks, several times. When he calmed down Keith learned the reason for his excitement: a troop train had been crossing the bridge which had then collapsed under the weight. On another occasion one of his companions handed him a piece of piano wire with a small wooden handle at each end. When Keith enquired as to its use it was explained that, if he approached a German from behind and used it appropriately, the little device could swiftly separate the German’s head from his shoulders. Usually accompanied by a young female member of the Resistance, Keith slowly made his way west by push bike. “They were extremely brave people, risking their lives to save mine.” (In fact research by British Intelligence Service MI9 found that over 30,000 lost their lives in helping to get just 3,000 to safety.) On 2 September, 1944 Keith was taken from Giencourt, one of eight safe houses in which he sheltered, up into the main street of Clermont when an American tank appeared. An officer called out “Does any goddam idiot here speak English?” When Keith responded the American,
rather taken aback, said “God Almighty! Not an Aussie. What the hell are you doing here?” After dispensing some rough justice to collaborators, the celebrations began. Next day Keith started for the coast: initially by bike, then by jeep, by DC3 to Amiens, and finally by jeep through Caen to the coast. The English Channel was then crossed in an empty tank–landing craft after which Keith was taken to London for interrogation by MI9. After signing a document regarding non–disclosure of information about his escape, Keith was cleared to go back on operations. Back at base, however, although keen to get back in the air, Keith was informed that MI9 had instructed that he was not to fly in Europe over enemy territory: he knew too much and the Gestapo would not let him slip through their fingers a second time. Instead he was posted to Pithelly to train all the Signals Leaders of Bomber Command. This was Keith’s final posting prior to his repatriation to Australia early in 1945. Time for Romance Keith’s initial crew included a Scot (Mac) who was the navigator. Not long into the first tour Keith saved Mac’s life when his oxygen failed. So, on the next leave, he invited Keith to stay with him and his family in Cardonald in Glasgow. Mac’s mother, Mrs. McKenzie, had tearooms near Glasgow University where an Anita Grieve happened to be a student. Anita was invited to make up a foursome and a romance soon developed. Anita and Keith became engaged in 1944 and plans were in place for a wedding on 2 September. Then the war intervened: Keith was shot down on the night of 7/8 July and Anita and his parents were informed that he was “missing, believed killed.” Coincidentally it was on 2 September that Keith made contact with the Americans in France. From the offices of MI9 in London Keith was able to make a surreptitious phone call to Anita. Wedding plans were resurrected and the wedding took place in Glasgow on 4 October, 1944. After a 12 hour trip to London the couple eventually found accommodation at the Grosvenor Hotel. They had only just booked in when the air–raid sirens sounded with the result that Anita and Keith spent their wedding night sheltering in the basement! After ten days Keith reported to Brighton from where Australians were being repatriated. It was another eight months before Keith and Anita were re–united in Australia. After his discharge in May, 1945 Keith eventually returned to the motor trade and later became the director of a sports car firm. He became involved in Legacy, was on the Board of Management of the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce, and became a councillor in his local municipality. He also helped to establish the Australian branch of the Royal Air Forces Escaping Society and was president for a number of years. On retirement Keith and Anita moved to the Village Glen in Rosebud in 1988. It wasn’t long before Keith became President of the Residents Club and he was one of the instigators of the Village Anzac Day ceremony. He and Anita took active roles in Family Day and other activities. In 1983 and 1990 the couple made sentimental journeys back to France where Keith was able to renew his friendships with a number of members of the Resistance movement. After almost 70 years of marriage, Anita died in 2013, aged 93. Keith’s Philosophy “Someone asked me once why I didn’t really get too upset when things sometimes got difficult in business and throughout life. My answer was simple. I always look back to the time when I was shot down and was sitting under a tree in a foreign country – an enemy occupied country – and I didn’t know the language, and I had nothing to eat. I look back at that and think nothing could get as bad as that. Life could never get as bad as that, so its the only way to have a happy life.”– Ibid, Page 256. Footnote: A few months ago several World War 2 veterans were presented with the Legion of Honour at the French consulate in St. Kilda Road. Keith Stevens was to be a member of this group but unfortunately suffered a fall in the week prior to the ceremony necessitating a stay in the Alfred Hospital. Keith is now a resident of Ti Tree Aged Care Facility in Rosebud and on Thursday 16 April the Honorary Consul-General of France in Melbourne made a special visit to the Facility to present Keith with the award.

scoreboard Agonising draw tightens the season PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt AN after the siren goal from Liam McKay saw Edithvale draw with Langwarrin in the second round of Peninsula Division Football. For the first three quarters of the match, Langwarrin dominated general play and had the upper hand against the home side. Ricky Johnson was continuing his outstanding form, doing the job on Jarrod Garth; Mark Meehan was being kept quiet by Nick Hammill; Matt Naughton was winning in the ruck, despite doing the bulk of it on his own, and Gerard Brown was completely dominating up forward. Brown took at least 20 marks in a dominant display in attack, finishing the afternoon with a staggering 3.11. Langwarrin had 31 scoring shots to Edithvale’s 26. Kangaroos’ coach Gavin Artico said it would be unfair to push any blame on Brown for the draw. “Boofa was sensational all day and clearly the best player on the ground,” Artico said. “Of the 11 points he kicked, at least eight of those the goal umpire hardly moved. It wasn’t as if he was spraying them everywhere. They just missed. “The reason we lost is because our structures and disciplines fell down. We watched them the week before, knew what to expect and executed it for the most part. “Our players have to realise that while 60% of the game is about running, jumping, marking, handballing and kicking, the other 40% is about following team disciplines and being able to stick to them. “For three quarters, we got it right most of the time. However, in the last quarter, we just didn’t do what we knew we needed to. At the very least, maintain what we had executed in the previous three quarters. We got sucked into contests instead of rolling back, we didn’t man up and allowed the opposition to get loose players out the back, we didn’t hold up the footy or have shots on goal from where we should have. “That’s where the draw come from. With a couple of minutes left on the clock, we should have had a shot for goal from 40 metres. Instead, we looked for the short pass, kicked it to the man on the mark and they took it up the other end. Then, at a stoppage, they had three loose players back and we kicked it to them out of the stoppage. They threaded it through, took a mark, the siren went and they went back and kicked it. “It was unbelievably frustrating. It’s these results that could be the difference between playing finals and not playing finals. “I think YCW, Mt Eliza and Mornington have proved that they are going to be hard to budge out of the top three. Bonbeach, Chelsea, Karingal and Seaford appear at this early stage that it might be a tough year. That leaves us, Pines and

Edithvale to fight it out for fourth and fifth. “The four points on Saturday after controlling things for three quarters would have been very handy,” Artico said. Matt Clark and McKay were outstanding for the Eagles, while Brett O’Hanlon was pretty good also with a couple of goals. Justin Van Unen made it 18 goals in two matches after booting 10 for Mt Eliza against Bonbeach on Saturday. After a slow start that saw them trail by a point at quarter time, the Redlegs booted 19 goals to four after the first break to win 20.10 (130) to 6.7 (43). Dave Barton was at his best for the winners while Matt Davis and Tim Strickland were also solid. The lack of injuries so far this year allows the guns Sam Gill, Darren Booth and Karl Lombardozzi to set things up from half back for the Redlegs, as opposed to playing on ball, which they were forced to do for long periods last season. Nick Watersone and Sheldon Price were the best of the Sharks, while Gary Carpenter was back in the side and led from the front. Frankston YCW booted 20 goals against Chelsea on Saturday on the way to a commanding 87-point victory. The Stonecats had 13 goal kickers in the 20.13 (133) to 7.4 (46) victory. The margin was only 10 points at half time, however, the home side booted 14 goals to three after the major interval. Grant Trew, Todd Gardiner and Stuart Brooke were named among the best for the Gulls. Mornington was forced to work hard against Seaford to record a 13.10 (88) to 7.12 (54) victory. The Dogs extended their lead at every change with Warwick Miller dominating and Dale Nolan and Adam Symes getting a heap of it. James Quanchi was the best of the Tigers, while Matt Herbert and Rourke Fischer were also fine contributors. Pines made it three from three with a solid 20.16 (134) to 8.9 (57) victory over Karingal. Aaron Edwards booted five goals and Dale Tedge three while a further nine players contributed on the scoreboard. Brendan Cowell and Beau Hendry were dominant in the victory. Blake Simpson and James Paxton with two goals were the best of the Bulls, while Luke Van Raay was vintage.

introduce a third division, introducing the likes of South Mornington, Carrum and Skye, and creating three 10 team competitions. This is something AFL South East is looking into. There must be change, or the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer.
Time to get it right THE MPNFL has ticked one thing off its ‘get it right’ list this season – the interleague. After years of yours truly banging-on about the mismanagement of the country championships campaign, the league rightly decided to throw all their support behind it. This was helped by an embarrassing loss last season to Geelong FL. The league is right behind the Peninsula and Nepean Division campaigns and the respective coaches in Troy Shannon and Ben Holmes are enjoying the support. Well done to Stuart Gilchrist and his board for getting this right. With one thing ticked-off, it’s now time to turn their attention to getting the other two glaring problems resolved – the Nepean Division draw and the unevenness of the competition. The league has admitted (off the record) that they got the Nepean league draw horribly wrong. My understanding is that they are already looking at that. Simply, the league has to pull rank and ensure it is an 18-game season next year. In addition, they need to ensure that there is an equal playing field with the draw. Secondly, we have an ungamely scenario right now of clubs getting smashed each week in each division. It’s time to bring back promotion/relegation. We are never going to get an evenness in the competition until we have this system reintroduced. I’ve heard the argument for years that if clubs don’t play clubs in their geographical area, their club will slide. That’s garbage. Simply, if you are winning games of football and competitive every week, people will come and watch. There’s also a very valid argument to
Interleague IT is apparent that our league has learnt a lot from last year’s loss to the Geelong Football League, according to Peninsula League coach Troy Shannon. The MPNFL, which has ditched its ridiculous name, Peninsula Alliance or whatever it was, is finally throwing all their resources and support behind this year’s campaign with the hope of winning against the Ovens and Murray. This will give us the opportunity to host the Number 1 game in our own backyard next year. Troy said the support from coaches, in addition to the league, was first class. “The current commitment by league coaches who have been actively involved in the selection of the initial squad, only cements their on-going support to the Country Championships,” Shannon said. “This, coupled with the commitment of some quality players is only adding to the momentum and strength of the league’s 2015 preparation. “We have verbal commitment at present from Aaron Edwards (Pines), Brent Guerra (Chelsea), Brett O’Hanlon (Edi Asp), Justin Van Unen (Mt Eliza), Luke Potts (Pines), Mick Gay (Mornington) and interleague veteran and Frankston YCW’s man mountain Ash Eames (YCW). “We have acquired a strong team foundation. The thought of Ash Eames and Mick Gay working together as opposed to against each other is enough to take the trip up the Hume Hwy,” Shannon said. This year’s Match Committee is made up of John Hynes (ex-Carlton and Edithvale), Paul Hopgood (ex-Melbourne and Mt Eliza) and Troy Shannon (ex-Melbourne and Mt Eliza).
MORNINGTON NEWS scoreboard
Eagles open up on Hillmen NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt IT was billed as the match of the round – Somerville versus Red Hill. The Eagles at home and with their well-documented list of recruits, playing in their fifth game together (including three practice matches). Red Hill, a finals team in 2014 with a list on paper that had improved with the likes of Michael Chaplin and Matt Vagg joining them in recent weeks. At quarter time, it appeared as though the Hillmen were going to have too much cohesion, willingness for the contest and team polish for their opponent. At the first change, Red Hill was 4.2 (26) and Somerville hadn’t scored, despite having ten inside 50 entries each. After quarter time, it was 11 goals to three in favour of Somerville. Only once, for a five minute spell in the opening minutes of the third quarter, did Red Hill look competitive after quarter time. With scores even at half time, Red Hill had four or five shots on goal early in the third and missed them all. From there, Somerville tightened the screws and began to dominate all over the ground. We watched on last season as Rye’s list of recruits worked their way into the season and they pushed to the very end of the year, getting much better along the way. There’s no doubt that the Eagles will get better as the season progresses.
Truth is though, they are pretty bloody good right now. Somerville made a usually flawless, disciplined, unrelenting, organised footy side in Red Hill look underdone, apprehensive, and motionless. We know that’s not the case but it shows how unrelenting Somerville were. The Eagles’ pressure was enormous, its skill level crisp and its organisation breathtaking. This isn’t a team of stars thrown together, this is a cohesive team wanting team success. It was evident in the rooms before the game, for the two hours they played and after the game. Winning makes life easier but the feeling was enthralling. Every Somerville player contributed to the win. There’s no question that the three best players on the ground were the three recruits, Timmy McGennis, Scott Simpson and Adrian Speedy, however, from Matty Maltman who kicked three goals to Jacob Wilson who had a heap of it down back and Jake Ryan and Travis Bravo playing significant roles, the Eagles were all over their opponents. Simpson ruck roved all day and was a star, McGennis threw off a couple of tags and Speedy was the best of them all, providing enormous run from half back and setting up goals running through the middle. Red Hill had players go in and out of the contest. Skipper Michael Dillon only had five touches in the opening half but lifted when he needed to after half time and finished with 21. Daniel McNamara was the side’s best player
over four quarters, Michael Mock had the better of Tom Shaw and restricted him to three goals, despite the team having 49 to 31 inside 50 entries. Tom McEnroe and Jonah Siverson were impressive. Red Hill over possessed the footy going through the middle of the ground and played indirectly. This allowed Somerville to press, pressure and cause the turnovers. At a minimum, five Somerville goals came directly from Red Hill turnovers in the middle of the ground. The Eagles are a side to be reckoned with, winning 11.12 (78) to 7.10 (52). Dromana’s legendary premiership coach Doug Koop said his club needs to concentrate on what it has at the club, not what it doesn’t have, following its demolition of Tyabb on Saturday. The Tigers smashed the Yabbies 27.14 (176) to 4.10 (34). Koop said there was little he could do about the players that have left the club. “All of those players have gone for different reasons. I feel sorry for the club that they have left because they are the ones who have spent the time, effort and money to either get them here or develop them as juniors,” Koop said. “The fact of the matter is the best sides/clubs over the past decade in Narre Warren, Frankston YCW and Sorrento are on the back of them being able to retain their list. Most players at these clubs have played in three, four,
five premierships. “I guess Rye is a classic example of trying to put together a premiership side every two years – it just doesn’t work. “So what we have is a very very young group of players, who are fantastic kids wanting to learn. We need to keep developing them and giving them opportunity. “A young boy named Sam Fowler, who played Under 16s last year and kicked a few on the weekend for us (four goals), flew down the wing on Saturday, had a couple of bounces and the crowd loved every minute of it. However, when he got within range, deep in the pocket, he sprayed the kick. “I gave him a serve, as I would with any player. Five minutes later, he did exactly the same thing, was deep in the pocket and instead of blazing, he turned himself inside out to get it back to the fat side of the ground. “That’s the kind of excitement that we have around the Dromana Football Club right now. “Other than Sorrento, Rye and Somerville, and perhaps Rosebud, I think the final one or two finals spots are there for the taking. We’re certainly aiming for one of those spots,” Koop said. New recruit Matt Jones booted five goals for the Tigers while Christian Ongarello was at his brilliant best. “Jones is a tough player. Loves the contest and body contact. He’s got some tatts and blokes with tatts are
usually tough, however, this bloke is really tough,” Koop said. Rosebud set up its 14.12 (96) to 10.10 (70) win against Crib Point with a five goal to five behind third quarter. Jason Bristow booted three goals for the Buds and Jackson McRae and Ben Dwyer were named in their best players. New face Matthew Wappett was the Magpies’ best, along with Waide Symes and Dean Kairies. Devon Meadows pushed Sorrento for three quarters, trailing by the smallest of margins at three quarter time, however, the reigning premiers booted seven goals to two in the last to win 16.12 (108) to 11.8 (74). Myles Pitts booted five and Leigh Poholke three for the Sharks while Glenn Michie snagged five for the Panthers. Dylan Mitchell and Corey Walker picked up the top votes. Rye inflicted even more pain on Pearcedale with a 97-point hiding, however, it came at a cost. Simon Taylor and goal kicker Adrian Gileno both went down with hamstring injuries. Ryan Mullett, who was building last week, was the best player on the ground, Andrew Dean booted seven goals and Dean Millhouse was dominant also with six. Dylan Hoare and Daniel Heijden were given top votes by Pearcedale.
