SPECIAL COMMEMORATIVE EDITION
Anzac beats terror A
DEFIANT crowd undaunted by terrorism’s specture huddled among tight security to honour the fallen at an Anzac Day service in Endeavour Hills on Wednes-
day. Nine fully-armed police in high-visibility vests – and a semi-trailer carriage conspicuously parked between the cenotaph and Heatherton Road – flanked the 100-strong crowd who shivered through the sombre ceremony. It had a poignant backdrop – the spot where accused teen terrorist Numan Haider attacked police and was shot last year was visible just 100 metres away. Days earlier, counter-terrorism raids foiled an alleged terrorism plot by teenagers out to kill police officers at Saturday’s services. Narre Warren North MP and Roads Minister Luke Donnellan praised the strong turnout and security detail. “It was good that people felt a desire to ignore any threats. It’s important to celebrate the bravery of others who fought for our freedom.” Casey Councillor Rosalie Crestani said the “tough Australian spirit” would continue to defy “anyone who wants to destroy our heritage, way of life and peace”.
She said the spirit exhibited by Anzacs to “stand up against terror” was still evident today. This weekend, thoughts will turn to those who died or survived over the past century’s military campaigns at Anzac Day services at Berwick, Cranbourne and Pakenham. The tradition starts with the historic Gallipoli campaign on 25 April 1915, itself the first wave of extraordinary carnage that ripped the heart out of many Australian country towns in World War I. Townsfolk farewelled their young men as they embarked to fight in far-off foreign lands surely knowing that many would never again pull on their boots and play country football; never return to their jobs as butchers, bakers, grocers, farmers or printers. They would never marry; never father children and never be comforted by the warm embrace of their mother’s arms. Some 100 years after the historic landing at Anzac Cove, this week’s News is dedicated to stories of those fallen, honouring and remembering the locals who gave so much. Lest we forget.

Undeterred by terror plot By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS and LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE president of the Berwick RSL has moved to reassure the Casey community after an alleged terrorism plot targeting Anzac Day services in Melbourne’s south-east was foiled by police. President Ray Heathcote said local RSL Anzac services would go ahead as planned this Saturday and would not be affected by reports of the alleged terror attack. “We always have safety in mind when organising these events each year,” Mr Heathcote said. “So nothing needs to change this year - except maybe extra refreshments for the huge numbers expected to attend. “All members of the community of all persuasions are welcome to our Anzac Commemoration Services.” The reassurance comes as three teenage men were charged after a 200-strong joint state and federal police counter-terrorism team executed seven search warrants in Narre Warren, Hampton Park, Hallam and Eumemmerring on Saturday morning, as part of Operation Rising. Police in Britain also arrested a 14-year-old in the UK on Saturday believed to be connected with the alleged Islamic State-inspired terror plot in Melbourne. Reports surfaced this week that there was a terrorism plan involving possibly a car to run over a police officer at an Anzac Day service, attacking the officer with an edged weapon and shooting out with the officer’s firearm. It has been suggested that it could involve a number of services in the south-east. Premier Daniel Andrews confirmed on Tues-
day that it would be alleged multiple Anzac Day services were potentially being targeted and that “edged weapons” were involved. “That related to a specific threat to police members and by extension other members of the general public,” he said. Mr Andrews urged Victorians to show strength and unity, and “shatter all records” at Anzac Day services on Saturday. “Just as the police did us proud on Saturday morning (during the raids) I know and I am confident that Victoria Police will do everything possible to keep us safe.” Following the raids on Saturday, Harun Causevic of Hampton Park and Sevdet Ramdan Besim of Hallam were charged with the Federal offence of conspiracy to commit acts done in preparation for, or planning, terrorist acts. Causevic, 18, had been placed in custody without charge for three days under a preventative detention order up until Monday night - the first time such an order had been exercised in Victoria. A Narre Warren man, 18, has been released on summons for prohibited weapons charges. Two other Narre Warren men, aged 18 and 19, have been released from custody. Besim is scheduled to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Friday and Causevic will appear on 30 April. Casey Mayor Mick Morland also urged the community not to be deterred from attending Anzac services on Saturday. “I would encourage 100 per cent of the people to come out,” he said. “It’s 100 per cent safe and I’ll be there with all of them as well.”

Casey Multifaith Network president JIM REIHER released a statement this week following reports of alleged acts of terror planned for Anzac Day services in Melbourne.
Saner counsel must prevail in a time of terror alert ful that it has not happened, and be appreciative for the work of the police and any community members who helped avert a terrible act. If it is true, we surely must grapple more with how to prevent our young people from being so badly radicalised. Passionate young men in their late teens or early twenties are so full of energy, zeal, and a desire
IT IS with great sadness that we heard about the arrests of four young men from the City of Casey regarding alleged plans to do a terrorist act. We can only hope and pray that it is not true. If it is not true, we will all breathe a sigh of relief. If it is true, then we can all be grate-
to change the world. To have those good qualities funnelled into terrible pathways is tragic. How can we best channel that kind of passion into good pathways? Things that seek to do good in the world, not harm? That seek to bless others, not curse them? We feel for the parents and

WE REMEMBER THEM 1915-2015
Neville Jacka with his children Daniel and Hayley who are all descendants of Australian WWI hero Captain Albert Jacka, VC.
First in the line of bravery N
ARRE Warren South’s Neville Jacka reckons his ancestor Albert Jacka must have been a “little bit crazy” to perform such incredible acts of wartime bravery. Captain Albert Jacka was the first Anzac to receive the Victoria Cross (VC) in WWI and is renowned and remembered as one of the country’s finest war heroes. While growing up Neville Jacka was told story upon story about his grandfather’s cousin - Albert. “He was obviously very brave, very fearless, he had to be fearless,” Neville said. “And obviously he had a huge amount of self-belief in that he knew what he was doing, when you look at
“
NEVILLE JACKA
some of the decisions he’s made... potentially you’d almost have to be a little bit crazy. “But you just don’t know, it’s hard to say that about someone you’ve never met but I don’t know if people these days would be prepared to put themselves into that sort of position.” Sitting with his kids inside their Narre Warren South home, Neville spoke about Albert’s courage in Gallipoli which saw him later awarded the VC. History records of one particular battle draw on Albert’s diary in which he wrote that he took on 10 enemy soldiers by himself and was the only one to rise out of the trench alive. “I bayoneted two Turks, shot five, took three prisoners and cleared the
OFFICER SPECIALIST SCHOOL
whole trench,” Albert wrote in his diary. “I held the trench alone for 15 minutes against heavy attack.” But upon delving into his ancestor’s war history, Neville said Albert’s bravery fighting in the Somme, outside what was left of the village of Pozieres, was arguably just as breathtaking. At one point during this battle, it’s recorded that Albert spotted a group of four Germans in a shell hole firing on the Australians who were taking a heavy toll. Albert charged the group of Germans who are believed to have shot him three times as he approached, throwing him to the ground each time. It’s said the Australian got back up after each bullet pierced his skin and
kept running towards the enemy. It’s understood the four Germans threw down their weapons and Albert killed them. C.W Bean, an Australian Imperial Force (AIF) historian, described Albert’s efforts in the Pozieres battle as “the most dramatic and effective act of individual audacity in the history of the AIF”. Neville’s son Daniel, 18, who attends Fountain Gate Secondary College with his sister, 14-year-old sister Hayley, said he was only nine or 10 when his dad first told him about Albert Jacka. “And I remember one time, I think it was about Year 7. I was in an IT class and I just decided to Google him, let’s see what he’s done,” Daniel said. “I was like - this guy’s in my family? He’s awesome! “The appreciation for what he has done has definitely grown.” After the war, Albert became the mayor of St Kilda in 1929, where Jacka Boulevard was named after him. But the much-storied Australian
died soon after in 1932, at the age of 39, succumbing to nephritis. Neville said Albert’s old war wounds had taken their toll. “Right near the end of the war he was in an attack where they got attacked with gas,” Neville said. “I think it was mustard gas or something like that and that’s nasty stuff and that affected his wounds, caused all his old wounds to open up and affected his lungs.” On Anzac Day this month Neville plans to attend the Shrine for the Dawn Service and reflect again on Albert’s fearlessness. “You always sort of stop and think about it around Anzac Day and around Remembrance Day and you stop and have a think about the stuff he did,” Neville said. “And you try and think - what would I do if I was in the same position? “Would I have been able to do that? Probably not. “It’s a pretty special kind of person to be able to just do the stuff that he did time and time and time again.”

Artist goes into action Nurse Jessie Traill By LACHLAN MOORHEAD
H
ARKAWAY always served as a constant in the life of nurse Jessie Traill, both before and after her service in World War I. When one pores over notes gathered by the Narre Warren and District Family History Group, it’s clear that in her later life the talented artist Jessie spent much of her time at home in Harkaway, finding sanctuary in the five-acre bush block she had bought in 1912 with her sister, Elsie. Sanctuary, perhaps, from the threeand-a-half years of service she’d given as a Red Cross Voluntary Aid Detachment Nurse (VAD) at the military hospital in Rouyen, France, from 1915. Jessie and her friend, Isobel ‘Iso’ Rae, are believed to be the only two Australian women to paint and live in France during the war years. While neither woman was included as an Official Australian War Artist, both have examples of their work displayed in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. While stationed in France Jessie witnessed a local village become almost completely destroyed as the war raged on. She gathered what money she had
and put it towards rebuilding the small town. For several years after this the French mayor and town band would escort Jessie to her hotel. It seemed she was not just a hero in the eyes of Australians, but the French as well. When her war service finished, its legacy was never far from Jessie’s mind. Nurse Traill was responsible for planting an avenue of flowering eucalyptus on either side of Harkaway Road, north of the roundabout, in memory of the nurses who had lost their lives during the Great War. After the war Jessie, who never married, had an art studio built adjacent to her Harkaway home. She held many exhibitions in which the proceeds were given to various charities, including those associated with the nursing profession. During the 1960s Jessie’s studio was sold to Helen Leslie Hudson, a friend of hers who was also another passionate female artist. Helen kept the studio in use until 2005. Jessie’s land in Harkaway has since been heritage-listed, while part of it was also purchased by the City of Casey, and part of it donated to the Harkaway community. Today it’s known as the Jessie Traill Reserve at King Road in Harkaway, an enduring testament to the landscape she was inspired by. On Anzac Day, 1959, a permanent memorial was erected in honour of Harkaway’s First World War soldiers.
This photo shows Nurse Jessie Traill, holding her bicycle loaded with painting equipment, somewhere in the south of France. Nurse Traill is said to have laid a wreath at the memorial stone, which now honours her legacy alongside that of the 25 soldiers who served in WWI. Jessie, a dedicated parishioner of the Anglican Christ Church in Berwick, passed away on 15 May 1967 at Dunbar Private Hospital in Emerald.
She was 86. The Berwick Christ Church erected a bell tower in the wake of her death, which was updated in 2009. As recently as last year, a retrospective exhibition of Jessie’s art work was held at the National Gallery of Australia.

Sons and daughters of Anzac
Dandenong RSL official piper Ian Arrell.

NDEAVOUR Hills cenotaph hosted one of its strongest recent turnouts at Wednesday’s Anzac Day service. A 100-strong throng of dignitaries, veterans, students and other onlookers stood in respectful silence for the service staged by Dandenong-Cranbourne RSL Sub-branch. Carolyne Pettit, an Anzac Day regular of Narre Warren, watched her 310 Regional Cadet Unit daughter stand as part of the cenotaph guard. She says she cast her thoughts at her late father-in-law - a former active member of Dandenong RSL and “proud” march flag-bearer - and her grandfather - who served in the navy during World War I. Another Vietnam veteran - his chest gleaming with medals - said he remembered his military comrades. “It’s important as a day of remembrance for everyone. There should be more of it.”

Invincible soldier shot By LACHLAN MOORHEAD
B
EFORE he was shot dead on the front lines, Corporal Alexander ‘Yank’ McClure wrote to his parents back home about his seeming invulnerability. The details surrounding Cpl McClure’s death were published in the Pakenham Gazette on 17 May 1917, including quotes from a letter he sent to his parents just before he was shot. “The Turks cannot hit me now, I reckon,” he wrote. “They have cut the hair off my temple with a bullet and I received a blister on my neck with another. “I had my shaving mug smashed to pieces with a piece of shrapnel shell whilst I was shaving and I was hit on the shin with another piece which just grazed me”. It’s believed the day Cpl McClure was shot he’d only hours earlier been recommended for a promotion to sergeant. Word of his death soon
reached his father, a prominent member of the Narre Warren Cricket Club and a foreman on the Victorian Railways at Yackandandah. Cpl McClure, known as ‘Yank’ to his mates after travelling to America, was sharing a dugout with his good friend Lance Corporal Stringer, who he met in Egypt, when he was shot with the bullet that would end his life. L-Cpl Stringer’s account of Yank’s death, included in the Gazette piece, is heart-breaking in its vividness. The bullet, L-Cpl Stringer said, went “straight through” his mate. “He and I were in charge of adjoining posts, so I know how poor old Yank - we never called him anything else - went out,” he said. “It was a bright moonlight night, about 7.30. He and I stood on the floor of the trench and discussed the usual evening repairs to the parapet - torn sandbags had to be replaced and loopholes cleared. “Yank jumped up and climbed out over the parapet to effect his repairs. He and I usually worked together and I asked him if he needed any assistance.
“He said, ‘No, I can fix it on my own’. As I had some work to do on my own post I left him and walked back to attend to it.” A minute later L-Cpl Stringer heard a cry and knew someone had been hit. “There lying on a blanket was poor old Yank,” L-Cpl Stringer said. “ ‘Hit hard, old chap?’ I asked. ‘Don’t know, got it through the groin,’ he replied. ‘What did it feel like?’ - a silly question, but natural. “ ‘Like the kick of a bushel of steam-hammers,’ replied Yank, as he disappeared, being carried around the corner of the trench. “That was the last we saw of our friend. It was not until I returned to Egypt that I knew he had died on the beach next day at Anzac.” His friend said he died as he had lived - “game and cheerful to the last.” “Yank McClure was one of my best friends at Anzac,” LCpl Stringer said. “We shared the same dugout and lived and fought together. “He was, I think, the most popular man in our company. His unfailing good humour and pluck made everyone like him.”

Spirit of teen war adventure With the centenary of the Anzac landing in Gallipoli this week, Hallam Senior College student TRAVIS REID, 16, reflects on his trip to Europe last year as a recipient of the Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize. Travis’s greatgrandfather, Archibald Reid, Served in WWI.
I
WENT on the trip of a lifetime for two weeks over the 2014 first term school holidays as a recipient of the Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize. We travelled to Greece, Turkey, Belgium and France to visit notable WWI sites. It was a once in a lifetime experience and I enjoyed every second of it. It wasn’t just the idea of being able to travel overseas and experience various countries’ cultures, it was the enduring legacy of the knowledge of what it would have been like for teenagers my age and other participants during World War I. I learnt more than I thought I ever could while travelling abroad about the sacrifice soldiers made for their countries, how the Anzac Spirit played a major role in Gallipoli and also the history behind the Great War. On 25 January 1916, at the age of 19 years and six months, my great-grandfather felt the Anzac Spirit and signed up as a volunteer to “serve in the Military Forces of the Commonwealth of Australia within or beyond the limits of the Commonwealth”.
For an unknown reason he signed up under the name Archibald Reid which remains a mystery to our family to this day. Our family name should be Webster not Reid. On 25 May 1916 my greatgrandfather left Melbourne with his 37-year-old uncle George Thompson Webster for active service abroad. They arrived in France on 23 November 1916 as part of the 3rd Divisional Signals Company, under the ultimate command of the famous Major-General John Monash. It is difficult to determine exactly where my great-grandfather served as the war records are not specific. However, as part of the 3rd Division he would have most likely participated in the Battle of Messines in France in June 1917, the Battle of Broodseinde in October 1917 and at the Battle of Passchendaele in Belgium. He arrived back in Melbourne on 27 January 1920 and was discharged from the Australian Imperial Force on 21 March 1920 with the rank of corporal. At the age of 46 in 1942 my

After an extended application process involving school nomination, external references, a personal questionnaire and essay, I was fortunate enough to be selected as one of the 80 Victorian students out of a pool of more than 630 student applicants to participate in the tour commemorating the Anzac centenary. As part of the tour we will be visiting important commemorative sites along the Gallipoli Peninsula as well attending the Dawn Service at Anzac Cove, followed by another commemorative ceremony at Lone Pine. The entire tour will stretch from Monday 20 April to Tuesday 28 April. It is such an exciting opportunity to represent my family, school and community at such a momentous occasion in Australian history and I will forever be grateful for the support I have received on this wonderful journey. I have created a Facebook page to share my experiences at www.facebook.com/gallipoli2015asanga.

crayons and crudely-cut drawing paper, and then marched proudly around the living room just as those on the screen did. At that point in time, I clearly did not comprehend the enormity of the situation but what did remain with me from that day is what made me march so proudly around the living room that morning - an overwhelming sense of appreciation for the sacrifice of these men and women in making Australia the beautiful, peaceful country it is today; a sense of sadness for those who had fallen; and a pride in the comradeship still shown today. That’s what the Anzac Spirit means to me. The qualities of courage, mateship and determination that symbolised our Diggers are those that every Australian still endeavours to achieve today. So when my school approached me with a nomination to be put forward to the State Government’s selection committee for the 2015 Gallipoli Dawn Service Tour last year I was both honoured and terribly excited.

Y first recollection of Anzac commemoration probably comes from when I was around six years old and in Grade 1 at Southern Cross Primary School in Endeavour Hills. My teacher had spent the weeks ahead of Anzac Day speaking at length about the merits of commemoration and reflecting on the sacrifices that our soldiers had made for the freedom we enjoy today. Given it was a public holiday and I was also a beleaguered Essendon supporter, I arose on Anzac Day to work out what all the fuss was about as any curious sixyear-old would do. Switching on the television to the ABC, I was greeted by the famous Anzac parade. Veterans marched under an array of banners along St Kilda Road to the Shrine of Remembrance, representing their service in all corners of the world. I was so enamoured by the moment that I promptly rushed to make my own medals with

Study tour across history By LACHLAN MOORHEAD
T
HIS month 15-year-old Hayley Hickey stood looking over Anzac Cove and was lost for words. The current Year 10 student from Fountain Gate Secondary College was one of 12 high school kids across the state selected for this year’s prestigious Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize, which sees the group embark on an overseas study tour of WWI sites. “I just remember being speechless almost the whole time in Gallipoli because it’s hard to imagine that they actually fought there and they landed there and such horrors had happened there when the views were so pretty,” Hayley said, after returning from the tour this week. “The views were a manipulation, kind of. You were left speechless just thinking of what had happened under your feet.” The two-week study tour gave the group the opportunity to visit a range of historical war sites throughout different towns and regions, including Lemnos, Gallipoli, the Western Front, and Belgium. But long before Hayley made this incredible journey, she was selected from a group of 700 students who entered into the competition. Hayley said she was encouraged to enter after her humanities teacher Belinda Irving had been impressed by Hayley’s ever-increasing passion for the competition and the path of historical research it had led her on.
Ms Irving went on the study tour herself as a teacher chaperone in 2013. “I was going to do an essay but then I wanted to do a short story so I could approach the topic with facts but with more emotive language,” Hayley said. “So then I wrote the short story and I got it drafted by Ms Irving and she gave me lots of feedback on it and then she recommended that I enter the competition and I hadn’t really thought about the competition before that, I was just trying to get the assignment done. “And then so I thought, it couldn’t really hurt, so I entered the competition.” Ms Irving said Hayley’s fictional entry, which drew on real facts, looked at the war from an alternative perspective. “It was a different way of looking at and I hadn’t seen it before so I thought that would be a great way to enter,” Ms Irving said. “And I encouraged all my kids to enter, but Hayley, after she had submitted it and she got really into it, I’ve gone, OK you really need to enter.” Hayley was chosen as one of the 28 finalists and after a successful interview, she was selected as one of the 12 high-achieving students that would make the trip to Europe. “I hoped to feel a real connection to the Anzacs and learn more about WWI,” Hayley said. “And I think the aim of the tour is to throw kids who are like-minded together and have them be interested in the Anzacs so they can keep the spirit
alive for youths still going today, 100 years on.” While on the tour the 12 students were tasked with selecting their own Digger, who had served in the war, who they could commemorate while they were in Europe. Hayley was extremely moved by the story of the three Seabrook brothers Theo, William, and George - who died at the Battle of Menin Road, and she chose them as her Diggers to remember. “I really felt for their mother, Fanny Seabrook. She lost the three boys within 24 hours because they were all hit from the same shell,” Hayley said. “So that really got me and I wanted to commemorate what she suffered, and commemorate them and their sacrifices.” Hayley laid a poppy for Theo and George at Menin Gate and was able to do the same for William, who was buried at another cemetery. Hayley’s journey came after former Fountain Gate Secondary student Travis Reid took part in the Spirit of Anzac study tour the year before. Ms Irving said her own experience on the trip had inspired her to encourage her students to apply for the competition. “When I came back I was more enthused and I was encouraging the kids - this is what I saw, this is what’s happened there,” she said. “And I became more enthusiastic about getting kids to have that same experience.”
Hayley Hickey, above, reflects on her recent journey to Europe and, right, spends time in her school's Anzac garden with humanities teacher Belinda Irving and a real Lone Pine. 137645 Pictures: GARY SISSONS

Battlefield is still revealing its past
Fortitude shows the Anzac spirit is in us all John Wells Dandenong Cranbourne RSL president
T
HE Anzacs are still here.
The centenary of the landings at Gallipoli is a great opportunity for us all to think about who we are and about how we became the people we are. It is an invitation to think about the past, the present and the future, as one. It was a bitter defeat, of course, wasting the lives of more than 15,000 of Australia’s best, and starting a reaction in Australia that eventually led to great difficulty in finding sufficient volunteers to fill the gaps on the Western front. The long casualty lists and the letters home made it clear the war was not, after all, a great adventure. It was supposed to be ‘over by Christmas’, but it lasted four Christmasses and for many of them there were to be no more Christmasses. Yet we celebrate it proudly, and so we should. I don’t think it was the ‘birth of our nation’ at all, but I do think it was proof of the sort of nation we had become. I think we can still be hugely proud that so many people put up their hands when the need was there. I think we can be hugely proud of
the way we fought, and the things we did. I think part of that pride is that, simply, they were us. The Anzacs are still here. The people who fought in the Second World War, all over the globe, the people who have fought since, all over the globe, were, and are, Anzacs in a very real sense. I have said before that we have the best gene pool in the world because this huge island has always attracted the ‘have a go’ people, the people who were prepared to move to a new land, a new culture, often a new language. The people who had the courage to do something about their circumstances. The people who were prepared to sacrifice almost everything to give their children a better life, a better world. From the First Fleet, through explorations, the gold rushes, the settling, all the building of a nation, we had people who would have a go, people who would put their hands up when the need was there. We still have them.
The Anzacs are still here. We are still a land of volunteers. We are still a land of people who will ‘have a go’. That is the essential memorial to those Diggers on the heights, those diggers in the mud and in the deserts, those Diggers in the jungles, those airmen in the vastness of the skies, those sailors on the endless seas, those nurses in stinking tent hospitals. Let’s celebrate the centenary by remembering not just what they did but who they were. They were the sons and daughters of a tough, proud people, made up of the world’s very best. They built a nation, and they fought for it. Let’s celebrate the centenary by committing ourselves all over again to those values that drove the Anzacs. That is the memorial that matters. Let’s honour them by having the past shape the future, by remembering who we are, all of us, together. Let’s remember that we have a duty to the people in our past, the people who put us here and gave us the Lucky Country. We all owe them a debt, but it is one we pay to our children and their futures, not to the past. On Anzac Day, wear the badge. Wear it as a symbol of so much that is great and good. Wear it in memory of the Anzacs, and wear it knowing that they will never really be gone from us. The Anzacs are still here.

RUSTED and battered piece of metal will take pride of place in the Dandenong Cranbourne RSL. Sub-branch president John Wells said a farmer recently dug it up in a French paddock where the Battle of Pozieres took place in July and August 1916. “Some guy went over the top with that on his gun and he didn’t come back,” he said. “In one sense it’s a rusted piece of metal but it means so much more.” Mr Wells said Australia lost 3500 men on the night of the main attack of Pozieres. “It was the worst conflict casualty situation we ever had,” he said. “We were under constant artillery bombardment for a fortnight. It’s just mind shattering to endure. “We held it and the Germans gave it up. “For many people that was the beginning of the turn of the war. It was an incredibly courageous thing.” The RSL donated $5000 towards a memorial at Pozieres. “That’s a huge battlefield and Australians don’t even know about it,” he said. “The mayor of Pozieres

sent us that bayonet as a thank you. “It has a particular resonance with me because I had a great uncle, who I never met. He disappeared on the battlefield.
“His body was never recovered. There were a lot of bodies not recovered. “When you’re in deep mud with artillery the body gets obliterated fairly quickly.”

Dream garden home to honour T By GEORGIA WESTGARTH
HE Pearcedale Public Hall almost runs in secretary Maureen Smollen’s veins and her dream for a memorial garden next to the hall has finally come true. “It’s been a dream of mine for many years,� she said. “My mother was baptised in the hall in 1919 and I’ve been connected with the hall since the mid’90s.� With a big chunk of Ms Smol-
len’s family history linked to the Pearcedale Public Hall it was only fair she be made the boss of the construction and design of the garden. “Everything had to go through me,� she said. Left in good hands, the memorial garden has come up a treat with a plaque that reads the names of 28 local WWI veterans and Ms Smollen couldn’t be happier with the final result. “I’m overwhelmed with the way it came up, the whole thing
fits together nicely, the path is made out of cement but has been stencilled with different shapes and different colours,� she said. The garden, pathway and plaque took about six months to complete and was helped along by a $9000 grant from the Federal Government. Ms Smollen is hoping to add garden seats, more plaques in honour of WWII soldiers and a fence around the commemorative garden. Ms Smollen is hoping members
of the community will turn out in their hundreds to see the finished project and smell the rosemary. On Anzac Day the Pearcedale Public Hall will hold its annual dawn service followed by a dedication service of the memorial garden and breakfast. “We had around 600 people attend the dawn service last year and are expecting more this year,� Ms Smollen said. “Last year we noticed more children coming which is just wonderful,� she said.
The official opening of Pearcedale Public Hall’s memorial garden is a dream come true for Maureen Smollen and Tony Vagg. 137795

T WAS no big problem for Hallam-born Sapper John Alfred Brown to convince authorities he could enlist in the Light Horse Brigade in Egypt. At a jockey-sized 49 kilograms and 153 centimetres tall, the Victorian Railways clerk volunteered for service in May 2018 - about 18 months before the Great War’s end. His parents’ written objection that he was “too small for active service� was dismissed by the Department of Defence - though he was 4.5 centimetres “below standard�. “But if he can be placed in AMC (Army Medical Corps) or AIC (Australian Instructional Corps) or ... Telegraphical or such like we are quite satisfied for him to do his part,� Alfred and Mary Brown wrote in their fruitless plea. After passing medicals and a riding test at Broadmeadows, Brown, 20, was shipped off to the Suez Canal to join the Egyptian Expeditionary Force’s signal training unit in October. He was soon listed as a sapper or combat engineer with the 5th Signal Troop. During his nine-month stint, he was admitted to hospital with pleurisy and a possible “malarial infection� and his right lung was described as “very severe�. His doctor, Lieutenant-Colonel W.L Williams, recommended restricting Brown to light duties for 10 days. In late March, he was admitted to field ambulance for four days, passed as fit for general service in April and moved to the 2nd Signal Squadron of the Mounted Division on 28 June 1919. Within a month he left Egypt on the ship Burma bound for Australia. According to a transfer paper, the reason for his return was “not stated�. On 13 September, he was medically discharged - less than two months before the end of the war. The notes on the medical report are largely indescipherable but he was passed as “dentally fit� and with no listed disability. He was awarded a 1914-15 Star, a British War Medal and Victory Medal on his return. The last file on Brown’s service history was in 1924. It notes he told the department that he lost a badge.

The late Narre Warren Rotarian, and his cousin Robert, were solely responsible for producing the memorial’s honour roll in 1963, a series of bronze plaques recognising each of those people who gave their life for Australia. Norm and Robert, who together had inherited the family business Arrow Engraving and Foundry Pty Ltd, individually checked every one of the 102,000 names of the dead from all Australian military campaigns engraved and remembered in Canberra. The names were hand-set in Victoria and then transported to the country’s capital. Cecilia, Norm’s daughter, this week recalled travelling to the War Memorial with her father and mother, Nanette, where her dad was treated with complete reverence. “We’d been to the War Memorial a few times, with Dad and Mum in our travels around Australia and to just go there and for Dad to be treated like a guest of honour himself, just for having made the engravings, was incredible,” Cecilia said. “And then to be taken on internal guided tours of the War Memorial. “I remember that, I remember going through and just going wow, Dad was treated so well. And us kids, wandering around as well, just quietly, because we knew it was such a big thing.”

Her father’s legacy in Canberra came to mean even more to Cecilia when she attended the Anzac service in Gallipoli in 1990 while travelling through Europe. “I remember it being cold, really cold, and very emotional,” she said. “To be there and to be looking around as the dawn happened. And then you could start seeing where you were. It really was goosebump stuff, it was amazing, absolutely amazing.” As well as in Canberra, Norm Barr left an indelible mark in Narre Warren -
his home suburb for the best part of two decades. Norm was a much-loved member of the Narre Warren Rotary Club, introduced to the group by his friend and fellow Rotarian John Randall. Norm became president of the club in 1981 and was recognised as a Paul Harris Fellow in 1982. “We’re still in touch with so many of the Rotarians, from that initial starting point. It’s amazing,” Cecilia said. “All of us kids that used to muck around at the different events that they had, Christmas parties and stuff. “They’re all in their forties and fifties now and we’re still Facebook friends, from all that time ago.”

Young vet’s convoy north By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS
S
ELF-DESCRIBED “young veteran” Lance-Corporal Scott May will think beyond Gallipoli this Anzac Day. The Pakenham physiotherapist will ponder his comrades while he was deployed as an Australian Light Armoured Vehicle (ASLAV) crewman gunner in Iraq in 2007 and Afghanistan in 2008. He said a US nurse killed during a mortar attack 100 metres from his ASLAV in Baghdad in 2007 left an “everlasting impression” though they “met for only the briefest of moments”. “On Anzac Day, you do find yourself casting your mind back to things that happened. “There were a couple of incidents in Iraq where people were injured, particularly the American nurse.” He’s also got a wider mission to help and recognise Australia’s returned soldiers - many of whom are under 40. He said many suffer from loneliness caused by the post-trauma stress of war. Scott, his brother Chris and colleague Sven Thomson are seeking a major sponsor for their Young Veterans group - which is convening an Anzac centennial convoy of three ex-military Land Rovers across Australia this year. The trucks were bought for $30,000 by Dandenong Cranbourne RSL. Its president John Wells said it was the young veterans’ right to seek help from the RSL. “The important thing about their rally is it includes young veterans,
Scott May needs sponsors to get behind his campaign for young veterans. 131606

We all have struggled. We all have issues and know what it’s like... SCOTT MAY
Vietnam vets, civilians, RSL staff - it’s a mixture of all sorts of people sitting around the campfire talking. “What we’re about is getting the young veterans into the mainstream and the social inclusivity of feeling they have mates. “If you pull on the boots, you’re part of the one club.” The rally will run from the Austra-
lian mainland’s southernmost point at Wilsons Promontory to the northernmost tip of Queensland, Cooktown. Their trailers have recently been converted by members of Akoonah Men’s Shed in Berwick. Plenty of veterans are willing to drive the trucks, and further to tack on behind the convoy. “The potential sponsors are going
to have coverage. On the road, we get a lot of attention… a lot are staring at these trucks. “RSL House wants to reach out to these veterans. “They are keen for this to happen.” Scott knows from experience how hard it is to re-adjust to civilian life. He discharged himself from duty suffering from depression and fatigue.
On his return to Australia, he felt separated by a “gulf” from his wife and workmates. He tells of friends who became uncontactable, just “dropped off the grid” to find themselves and too many of them have committed suicide on their return, he said. “We just want to reach out to young guys, for them to seek further assistance. “We all have struggled. “We all have issues and know what it’s like.” As a military history buff, Scott knows “more than most” about the Gallipoli campaign 100 years ago. He said his view is shaped as a “contemporary veteran” expert in combat in the Middle East. “I don’t think of myself as an Anzac fighting in the trenches of World War I but as a custodian of the Anzac spirit, tradition and history.” The day should focus on Australian veteran’s sacrifices through numerous campaigns and battles beyond Gallipoli, he said. There are oft-forgotten victories such as Australian troops capturing the French village of Villers-Bretonneux in their first successful night attack which coincided with Anzac Day 1918. He said the day is rightfully “a period of mourning, a reflection for those who didn’t come home”. It shouldn’t be a “day for going out to party”. Anyone who can help or sponsor the Young Veterans rally is urged to email YoungVeterans@rslvic.com.au. 1181659-DJ17-15

Family destroyed by battle N LESS than a year the Great War claimed the lives of both the Kent brothers. The first of the Narre Warren siblings to perish in battle was Alfred Ernest Kent, killed in action on 5 May 1916, four weeks after the Lance Corporal had sailed from Alexandria to Marseilles. He was 41. According to notes collated by the Narre Warren and District Family History Group, Alfred was buried in Y Farm Military Cemetery Bois-Grenier, 4000 yards south of Armentieres. His belongings were returned to his widow, Alice Isabella Webb, whose address was listed as Lyncourt, Narre Warren. Among her late husband’s possessions were a wallet, a knife, a metal watch wrist-strap, some note books, a pipe, three handkerchiefs and a couple of coins. But Alfred left behind so much more than a handful of belongings. Alice also received Alfred’s three service medals, King’s Message and Memorial Plaque. Alfred is remembered on the Australian War Memorial and on the Berwick Grammar School’s memorial in Church Street, Berwick, the Berwick Grammar School Honour Board at the Berwick RSL, the Christ Church Great War Honour Roll and on the Narre Warren Memorial Gates. Alfred’s younger brother, Norman Archibald Kent, died from a gunshot wound to the chest he sustained while serving on the Western Front in 1917. Norman was wounded on 12 April and died a day later from the injury. He was buried at the Vaulx Main Dressing Station one and a quarter miles north-east of Bapaume, France.

“
His father Anthony had thanked people for the warm welcome to his son, a welcome which was never to be for Alfred or Norman...
On his tombstone were inscribed the words “Son of AB & MA Kent Narre Warren, died for King and Country”. Norman’s personal effects many the same as his brother’s were returned to his father Anthony Burdon Kent along with his three service medals, his Meritorious Service Medal as well as the King’s Message and Memorial Plaque. Anthony was born in 1844, in Dover, England, and didn’t arrive in Australia until 1862 where he married Mary Ann Hillbrich 10 years later. It’s around this time when Anthony bought a property known as Granite Park in Narre Warren, which he re-named the Oatlands.
Anthony and Mary raised seven children together - five sons and two daughters - and in October 1922 they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary without their two sons who had died in battle five years earlier. But before Alfred and Norman went to fight the war, they both experienced a loving childhood growing up in Narre Warren and it surrounds. Alfred was born in 1875 in Narre Warren and was educated at the Church of England grammar schools in Berwick and Melbourne. It wasn’t until 1898 that he married Alice, the daughter of Sidney John Webb at her family home in Narre Warren, known as Holly
Green. In 1910 Alfred was known to have owned the general store on the north east corner of the highway and Narre Warren North Road. His brother Norman was born in 1882, also in Narre Warren and attended the local state school. By the time he reached the age of 32 Norman was working as a farmer on the land. But soon it seemed a fate serving their country in WWI awaited both brothers far from the gentle fields and plentiful expanses of Narre Warren that had been an instrumental part of their lives for so long. In 1915, at the age of 40, Alfred enlisted as a private in the 6th Battallion, soon departing for Egypt on HMAT Nestor. Norman, who enlisted before his older brother, signed up as a private on 1 October 1914 in the 14th Battalion. The younger Kent served in Gallipoli after which he was hospitalised with pleurisy in May 1915. Less than two years later, after being transferred to the Western Front, Norman was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for “continuous meritorious performance of duty under most adverse circumstances at Pozieres from 6 August to 13 August and from 26 August to 30 August 1916”. A third Kent brother, Charles Edward Kent, also served in the Great War after enlisting in 1916. He left for duty in June that year aboard HMAT Wandilla. Following service in Egypt and France, Charles returned home in 1918 to take care of his mother and father, who had already lost Alfred and Norman to the bitter tragedy of war. That same year it’s understood a ‘welcome home’ social was held for Corporal Charles Kent, where he was presented with an inscribed gold medal. His father Anthony had thanked people for the warm welcome to his son. A welcome which was never to be for Alfred or Norman.
Uniform is badge of honour Corporal Victor Smith By CASEY NEILL THE World War I uniform in the Dandenong Cranbourne RSL foyer it more than just clothing. It belonged to Corporal Victor Royston Smith, an 18-year-old labourer from Maldon, Victoria, who enlisted on 21 January 1915. He embarked from Sydney on board HMAT A40 Ceramic with the 4th Light Horse Regiment on 25 June 1915. Dandenong Cranbourne RSL sub-branch president John Wells said Corporal Smith, then a private, landed at Gallipoli 1 October 1915. He faced a court of inquiry on 23 October 1917 over injuries he sustained on 2 October. Corporal Smith was admitted to 43rd Stationary Hospital, Egypt, with a fractured tibia and fibula. Evidence cleared him of any carelessness. Witnesses reported watching him trying to free a horse

which had its foreleg entangled in its neck rope. The horse threw itself and fell on Corporal Smith, breaking his leg. He returned to Australia on 2 August 1919. Relatives William and Marjorie Smith from Berwick found his uniform in a trunk during a cleanup and thought it too good to throw away. They first offered it to Legacy, which suggested taking it to an RSL. “Of course we jumped at it,” Mr Wells said.

memorabilia to consider their local RSL. “No one who’s alive today owns this stuff,” he said. “It belongs to the country.”

WE REMEMBER THEM 1915-2015
The fabulous baker boys T
HEY were the baker’s boys - eight men employed by local Narre Warren baker Donald Hartley Rowe who all enlisted to fight in WWI. A November 1915 edition of the Berwick Star News reported their names as Harry McGuire, Alf Rooney, Harold Johnstone, Jack Lyons, Fred Lewis, Vic Chitts, Reg Currie and Geo Forrester. Narre Warren and District Family History Group member Jane Rivett-Carnac has spent the last few weeks poring over old records to find out who these eight men were, and unearth their stories. Some proved easier to identify then others. Harry McGuire is believed to be American-born Private Harry Robert McGuire, who served in England and France before returning to Australia on 1 May, 1917. But this information cannot be confirmed, with Mrs Rivett-Carnac finding 263 potential ‘H. McGuires’, or variations thereof, listed in the records. Private Alfred George Rooney’s history was clearer. He was a driver and trumpeter in the 8th Light Horse, who enlisted on 15 October 1914. The son of James Rooney from Ballarat, Alfred was wounded in Gallipoli on 16 May 1915 by a gunshot wound to his neck and shoulder, and was evacuated to Egypt where he recovered. He was awarded the Military Medal on 23 September 1916 for gallantry and devotion to his duty in the field. His recommendation recognised him for “... bringing ammunition and water to the firing line under very heavy machine-gun fire, doing three trips to and fro and for assisting in bringing in a wounded officer from a fire-swept ridge.” Alfred carried out the remainder of his service with the Egypt Expeditionary Force in Palestine. There were found to be 69 records of people who served with the name, or variation of the name, Harold Johnstone, and none could be definitively proven to have any connection to baker Donald Hartley Rowe, or Narre Warren. Jack Lyons is another name which proved difficult to research. Mrs Rivett-Carnac came across a Private Charles Jack Lyons who enlisted in Tasmania in September, 1914, and whose papers indicate he was a baker and served in Gallipoli and France. But she was still unsure whether this was one of Rowe’s boys. “My problem with this being the correct person is if he’s working as a baker in Narre Warren why would he leave and go to Tasmania to enlist?” Mrs Rivett-Carnac told the News. “Many men named John are known as Jack and the army records have many John Lyons records - finding the correct one this way will take more time than we have. “There is also the Lyons family from Tooradin, it may be that this soldier is one of their sons but I can’t prove it.”
Private Fredrick Archibald Lewis enlisted on 13 July 1915 at the age of 24. His next of kin was his father, Caleb Nicholas Lewis, who was living at Wilson Street in Berwick at the time. Fredrick left for Egypt and France on the HMAT ‘Ceramic’ A40 and served for 1455 days. He returned to Australia in May 1919, where he continued to mourn the death of his younger brother William, who was killed in action in France in March 1917 at the age of 21. Prior to his enlistment William is believed to have worked for a local grocer in Pakenham - Mr P. O’Halloran. Charles Victor Chitts was the only ‘Vic’ uncovered by Mrs Rivett-Carnac. But while he is understood to have two cousins who were German prisoners of war in WWI, there is no evidence that Charles served under his name. It’s believed Charles had another cousin who lived Berwick. “Perhaps Vic enlisted under an alias or he only served within Australia and his records are not available or he went to enlist and didn’t pass the physical but then you would think he would have returned to work,” Mrs Rivett-Carnac said. “I’m guessing he served under an alias or paid his own way to England and served with another country - all possibilities, but no proof.” The seventh of Mr Rowe’s employees to enlist was Private Reginald Currie, who signed up on 6 November 1915 at the age of 22. A death notice in the Argus newspaper indicates that Reginald was the only son of Donald and Margaret, and a brother to six sisters. The family is believed to have lived in Warragul and Berwick. It’s reported that he served in France and is reported gassed in 1917 and 1918, and both times he was hospitalised. He completed his service as a member of the 14th Battalion and returned home to Australia in April 1919 on the troopship ‘Commonwealth’. “From his service record it would seem that he had trouble fitting into the army way of doing things, he is reported absent without leave a number of times,” Mrs Rivett-Carnac said. “He went before a field court-martial for disobeying an officer’s command and found guilty, each time he forfeits days of pay, in total 205 days and at one point spent 100 days confined to camp when in England.” Sergeant George Arthur Forrester served for four years in Gallipoli and France and was promoted to sergeant. He returned to his father Zephaniah Forrester’s home at Taradale and later married Susan Holbrook. A newspaper report from the Dandenong Advertiser, dated 18 November 1915, notes that R. Currie and S. Forrester, of Narre Warren, had enlisted and were both employed by Mr Rowe at the bakery. Mr Rowe is recorded on an electoral roll as having left the Narre Warren district by 1925.

WE REMEMBER THEM 1915-2015
Man of so many parts By GEORGIA WESTGARTH A MINISTER, engineer, diplomat, governor, politician and soldier, Richard Gavin Gardiner Casey can be remembered as many things. But this year, at this time, he is remembered for his significant service during World War I. Lord Casey served in the Australian forces at Gallipoli and was awarded the Military Cross and Distinguished Service Order for intelligence gathering. On 14 September 1914, Lord Casey was appointed a lieutenant in the Australian Imperial Force and took off for Egypt the next month. Baron Casey of Berwick, Victoria and the City of Westminster, Lord Casey climbed up the ranks and in August 1915 became a staff captain with the 3rd Brigade at Gallipoli. Lucky to live an affluent life after his father Richard senior prospered as company director with partners Thomas and Walter Hall in the Mount Morgan Gold Mining Co. Ltd, Lord Casey grew up in South Yarra where he was educated as a day-boy at Cumloden School in St Kilda and later at the Melbourne Church of England Grammar School. In 1909, Lord Casey spent one year at the University of Melbourne studying engineering before setting sail to England and entering Trinity College, Cambridge where he graduated with second-class honours in mechanical sciences tripos. Until the war broke out in August 1914, Lord Casey worked for Mount Morgan Gold Mining Co Ltd, where his father had become chairman. Lord Casey served throughout the war in various roles but never commanded men. He started out as an orderly officer and became aide-de-camp to Major General Sir William Bridges, commander of the AIF’s 1st Division and in August 1915 was appointed staff captain with the 3rd Brigade in Gallipoli. Lord Casey recovered just in time from a fever to become the general staff officer, grade three with the 1st Division, before moving to the Western Front for the Battle of the Somme in France in 1916.
Awarded the Military Cross in January 1917, Lord Casey was made the Brigade Major of the 8th Brigade, a challenging position which meant regular visits to the front line and for his efforts was awarded the Distinguished Service Order in 1918. Lord Casey resigned his AIF commission and was demobilised
in London on 10 June, 1919. Transferring to the Reserve of Officers, Lord Casey served as a parttime intelligence officer at the Army Headquarters in Melbourne in the early 1920s. From Assistant Minister at the Treasury in 1933 to Treasurer in 1935 and Minister for Supply and Development
in 1939, Lord Casey was appointed the Australian Minister to the United States of America. Resigning from parliament in January 1940, Lord Casey’s most prestigious appointment as was as Governor-General of Australia from 1965 to 1969. Retiring to their farm in Berwick
after serving Australia for many years, Lord Casey never fully recovered from a car accident in 1974 and passed in June 1976. His long and distinguished life is remembered through his namesake, the City of Casey. Lord Casey is buried in Mount Macedon cemetery.
Lord standing among us By LACHLAN MOORHEAD WITH a deft hand Casey Mayor Mick Morland removed the veil this week that covered the new bronze statue of his municipality’s namesake. The seven-foot bronze statue of Lord Richard Gavin Gardiner Casey installed on the central median strip in High Street, Berwick - was unveiled at a special ceremony on Wednesday morning attended by many residents as well as a host of federal and state politicians and Casey councillors. President of the Casey-Cardinia Branch of the National Trust, Ruth Crofts, told guests the installation of the statue, created by renowned artist Louis Laumen, had been many years in the making. “Today as we stand here before this, to be unveiled statue of Lord Casey, I’m pleased to see the culmination of a community initiative and the successful completion of this project by the City of Casey,” she said. “The statue is a tribute to a great man who gave outstanding service to his country over many decades, so it’s pleasing to see the statue erected here
in his home town of Berwick.” Berwick RSL President Ray Heathcote, who also spoke at the ceremony, said he recalled when Ruth first came up with the seeds of an idea for the Lord Casey statue roughly a decade ago. “This is I think Ruth’s idea about 10 years ago and that’s where it started. It’s gone through lots of perutations to get to this stage, different groups,” he said. “But in the end it’s the Casey Council that’s bitten the bullet and decided to actually push forward with it and we have to acknowledge that (Casey Mayor) Mick has been a driving force in that. “Just as we trust in the youth of today to take forward our messages and to take forward the work that we do, so it’s important to acknowledge those people who have come before us, particularly people like Richard Casey, who played such an important role in the formation of our country and what we are today. “And I just think it’s appropriate that when we have our service here on Anzac Day, and in Anzac Days to
come, that Lord Richard Casey will be standing here among those people that come to commemorate Anzac Day.” Lord Casey served in the Australian forces at Gallipoli and was awarded the Military Cross and Distinguished Service Order for intelligence gathering. He went on to serve his country as a minister, diplomat, and governor around the world as well as in Australia. His final and most prestigious appointment was as Governor-General of Australia from which he retired in 1969. In between postings, the Casey family lived at Edrington in Berwick and city was named in his honour when it was established in 1994. Casey Mayor Mick Morland said he was honoured council were able to fund the $110,000 sculpture after getting on board the project about two years ago. “For me it’s an absolute thrill to be the mayor of the day and to do this,” he said. “It’s great for our city.”

View from the other trench By CASEY NEILL
B
ERWICK man Peter Neumann serves as a reminder of the other side of war. His grandfather Arthur fought for Germany during World War I. “I know he served at the front,” Peter said. “He was nearly shot on the front line by one of his commanders because he didn’t want to fight anymore. “Has anybody really won? “I look at Anzac Day not just as one group of soldiers, but all the soldiers all around the world that fought and people who lost family members through the war. “I probably look at war differently. War shouldn’t be glorified. “It’s reality and there were lots of innocent lives lost. It’s been very hard on the families.” Peter recently donated to Dandenong Cranbourne RSL a periscope his grandfather used, though during which conflict is unclear. “It’s been kept in the family,” he said. “I’ve been hanging onto it in the garage. I came across it and being a member of the club here, I thought it was stupid having it in the garage - no-one can see it. “I’m donating it to the RSL. I know it will be put to good use here. “I could have sold it on eBay but then it would have been in somebody else’s garage. “Here, it can be put on display and people can see what was used during the war.” Peter was called a Nazi and a Jew-hater when he migrated to Australia from Germany. “I found out that my grandfather on my mother’s side (Joseph Kempf) had actually been imprisoned (during WWII) because he helped smuggle Jewish people over the border,” he said. “He was supposed to be executed ... but what

Probably from World War II,” he said. “We used periscopes in the trenches a lot.
Periscopes were wherever you didn’t want to put your head up.” Mr Wells urged anyone who found wartime artefacts to contact their local RSL. “It’s part of our heritage. It reminds us of the realities that we once faced and it reminds us that history isn’t always nice,” he said. “If you want your future to be nice, you need to be aware of the things you did in the past that weren’t. “It’s important to preserve it where people can see it and understand it.
“It links us, in the sense that the bloke that used this did what I did. His father did what I did. My great uncles did what I did.” Mr Wells said every ex-serviceman was “in the club”. “It doesn’t matter whether you fought in Afghanistan or you fought in the Boer War. If you pulled on the boots, you’re in the club,” he said. “We have Italians who fought against us who march on Anzac Day. We have Turks now. They were our enemy. “It’s a Turkish story as well. Bottom line is we invaded Turkey and they kicked us out. “They suffered enormous casualties, far more than we did. “Surely the Turks that have come here, they’re in the club.”

WE REMEMBER THEM 1915-2015 Beryl with what remains of her father and great uncle's time in World War I.
Gunner Walter Sinclair By BRIDGET SCOTT
W
HEN Beryl Craig reflects on the time she spent with her father, she wished she had asked more. “He didn’t talk much,” but Arthur Walter Sinclair held a soft spot for his youngest of three who he affectionately knew as ‘Scruff’.
“You remember a lot as you age - there was a lot I wished I had asked,” the Cranbourne woman said. His quiet and reserved nature was well warranted, after he was deemed totally and permanently incapacitated (TPI) upon his return from World War I. Young and naive at just 18 years of age, nothing could have prepared the Brunswick-born boy for what he would endure after he enlisted on 22 February 1916. A gunner as part of the 14th Field Artillery Brigade, 2nd Reinforcements, it was over a year after he had arrived overseas that Gunner Sinclair
(+=,9;0:,4,5;
was badly wounded and forced to spend a year in a rehabilitation centre. In 1917 Gunner Sinclair was shot in the leg and taken to Etaples where he remained for a while before he was moved to a rehabilitation centre in a London hospital. The injuries sustained by the soldier impacted the rest of his life and Mrs Craig can remember attending ceremonies on Anzac Day with her own father unable to march. While Mrs Craig’s memories of her father’s experience overseas are scarce, she can still recall the few times he opened up to his family. “He used to tell a story of when he was in the trenches, sitting around the fire with his fellow troops with their singlets out, trying to get rid of all the lice,” she said. As with most families during the war, letters were exchanged from one side of the world to the other, and Mrs Craig has held on to one which her father received from his own mother. “He who laughs last laughs best,” his mother told him during a warning against giving into “temptations” while at war. Urged not to drink by his mother, Mrs Craig believes years of smoking killed her father at the young age of 67. “He was encouraged to smoke - the effects killed him,” she said. Prior to this her father, a qualified tuckpointer struggled to return to work after the war. “There wasn’t a lot around, it seemed unfair,” she said.

Questions left unasked
O KNOWN grave - a distressing term used to describe the hundreds of soldiers who fought for their country, yet never came home. As if families didn’t suffer enough over the loss of their loved ones, how did they cope when their bodies were never returned home? Rupert Bethune, a Cranbourne State School student, was one of these soldiers to be left behind on the battlefields, never forgotten by his mother Anne Meade when he was killed at only 27 years of age. A private in the 21st Battalion, 8th Reinforcements, when he first enlisted, Rupert died as a lance-corporal serving in the 59th battalion on 19 July 1916. He remains buried in France along with around 3000 other Australian soldiers who were killed on the Western Front during the battle of Fromelles. The 60th Battalion was almost totally wiped out and the 59th nearly suffered the same fate. The morning after the disaster of Fromelles, the Western Front has been described as “looking like a butcher shop.” Thomas Clair Whiteside, a Beaconsfield orchardist, was also in the 59th Battalion. He sent letters to home from the battlegrounds which were published by his daughter in the volume ‘A Valley in France.’ Tom was wounded in the head when he was sent to Fromelles shortly after his training was complete in Egypt. He wrote about his experiences from a hospital bed on 28 July, just a week after when he was still on the danger list. It read: “The first lines fare the best - for the terrible machine-gun is deadly once he sees the game is properly on. It looked like putting up cardboard nine-pins in a hurricane - only it was human beings who were facing up to it.” “Often wonder what happened to many a chap I passed lying helpless in the grass. For my part I was stronger and had all my wits about me and it was only through acting on every inspiration that, with God’s help, I got out of it.”

LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN FROM PAGE 1. THE attitude to master-planned communities can sometimes be one of, “Seen one, seen them all.” Those who hold this view however, are clearly not acquainted with the communities created by Villawood Properties. For more than 25 years, Villawood Properties has been creating communities that carry its signature hallmarks of innovation and liveability. Its justlaunched Delaray community in Clyde North carries the familiar touches that have come to be associated with the
company while breaking new ground in luxury and amenity. Delaray, which will ultimately feature more than 1000 homes will also be a leading edge example of Villawood Properties’ focus on creating community through its various distinguishing features. Its state-of-the-art residents club will be the hub around which the community revolves, with its range of facilities including gymnasium and swimming pool, café and parents’ lounge. Adjoining the club will be a community garden and a Men’s Shed, both features which have proven highly popular at other Villawood Properties communities.
Beyond that the community will feature 10 acres of parklands and open space, incorporating wandering paths, ideal for cycling, walking or jogging as well as picturesque wetlands. “While there is a definite Villawood Properties approach or philosophy, which we apply to every community we create, we also make a point of ensuring that each community carries its own, very distinct characteristics,” says Villawood Properties Executive Director Tony Johnson. “What we try to do in each community is to incorporate an element of the local - whether that involves the historical or
the natural character of the area. “Our buyers are discerning. They want a quality home, but they also want more than that. What we aim to give them, and Delaray is a perfect example, a sense of community. We create facilities and areas that encourage people out into their environment. “This is something which we’re continually looking to refine and improve and in Delaray you’ll see the latest step in this evolution.” For inquiries contact Nabil Harb at the Delaray Sales office on 9684 8128.

Gallipoli quilt is a comfort T By GEORGIA WESTGARTH
HE Cranbourne Uniting Patchworkers along with the St John’s Anglican Quilters have created more than just a quilt in honour of this year’s Anzac Centenary.
The piece of community artwork is four metres wide by two and half metres deep and with 4888 two inch squares making up the Gallipoli landscape, the statement quilt has been a long time coming. “I call it a vision I had in August 2013 - but I knew I couldn’t do it by myself and with enough interest we could create the Combined Cranbourne Quilters,� Cranbourne Uniting Church priest and quilt designer Wendy Snook said. With more than a year’s worth of planning, collecting, painting, sewing and cutting, the banner size quilt has jaws dropping. The team of 10 contributors used Derwent Inktense pencils and painted many of the tiny squares themselves. “It has been a bonding and learning experience with the group of ladies, many of whom hadn’t used fabric like paint before using the water colour technique and they can now use it themselves in the future,� the Reverend Snook said. The intricate and mesmerising quilt will be toured around Victorian RSLs and taken to Perth in July for a national assembly at the University of Western Australia. With the Cranbourne cenotaph printed onto fabric and stitched into the design, the quilt is as beautiful as it is meaningful with small crosses stitched into the landscape in honour of fallen soldiers.
Pensions for families of the fallen
N
Dianne Mitchel, Carmel Perkins, The Reverend Wendy Snook, Lorraine Jaques, Rosemary Kreun and Annie Picture: GEORGIA WESTGARTH Loft were the driving force behind the artwork. 137718 “The quilt is quite significant, a lot of my congregation were not as aware of some of the stories from the war and the quilt helps to bring the past into the present,� she said. The design of the banner-like quilt includes a silhouette of a bugler at sunrise and a soldier at sunset, symbolising the
then and now, as the quilt reads ‘1915 Gallipoli 2015’. Reverend Snook said she would like the quilt to become a talking point for people to take the initiative to learn about their own families’ stories and the history of the war. “My hope is that we learn from the
past and never repeat it, if we remember it so we don’t do it again, we’ve certainly achieved something,� she said. The bespoke community art piece is set to take its home at the Dandenong Cranbourne RSL and Reverend Snook said she is very pleased with the response she has received.

EWSPAPERS were key to the recruiting effort in Victoria during World War I.
The frontlines in Turkey and Europe needed a continual supply of new soldiers to replace those killed and wounded. On 28 October 1915, the South Bourke and Mornington Journal, which at the time also circulated to what is now the City of Casey, reported on the penions payable to widows on the “death of member of the forces, or to a member on total incapacity“. Per Annum Lieutenant... ÂŁ91 Sergeant... ÂŁ70 Corporal... ÂŁ68 Private... ÂŁ52 “In addition, on the death or total incapacity of a member, for each child under 16 years of age, ÂŁ13 per annum. “In cases of total incapacity the wife, in addition, receives half the rate specified above for the respective rank. “Pensions are payable also to other dependants.“

On the trail of loved grandfather’s memory By BRIDGET SCOTT
C
AROLE-ANN Kerford shared a special bond with her late grandfather - she was the first person he really opened up to following his experiences in World War II.
It’s with this unique relationship in mind, and the memories of her former years which were plagued with illness, that Carole-Ann from Cranbourne North is trekking the Kokoda Track this month. “It will be a celebration of my health and finding my wellness,” she said. After living most of her life battling obesity among a number of other health issues, trekking Kokoda was once an unimaginable dream. Carole-Ann is tackling the track through Soldier On, an organisation set up to help returned soldiers dealing with both physical and psychological wounds. Carole-Ann found out about the group through a friend who is an ex-navy man and also deals with post-traumatic stress. “The work they do is amazing,” she said. “They help people find life again.” Carole-Ann said this will be a fitting way to pay tribute to her grandfather Geoffrey Monger, as well as marking her 40th birthday. “He would be very proud of me,” she said. “It’s a great way to pay tribute to him.” Carole-Ann has joined returned servicemen on her journey in Papa New Guinea which will end on 27 April. The mother-of-three said her mental strength will help her through the trek which she has put months of training into. Mr Monger was a signal man during WWI and went to Papa New Guinea and spent some time in the Middle East. His granddaughter, who has taken miniatures of his war medals overseas, said she does not believe in war and said she felt honoured to complete this trek with the people who are going along with her. “It’s the biggest physical challenge you could do, and I get to do it with these people,” she said. She said she “could not have contemplated this a year ago” given her poor health.
Carole-Ann Kerford is currently trekking the Kokoda Track in honour of her late grandfather. 134645

The appended letter was received by Mr H. McCann of Berwick from Private W.V Watson, on the battlefront in WWI, and was published in the Dandenong Journal on 27 April, 1916. Mr Watson, of Narre Warren North, was a prominent member of the Berwick Football Club.
Retreat from thirsty hell I
RECEIVED two letters from you some little time ago and feel rather ashamed of myself for not answering them sooner. We are now back amongst the sand once again. You have read the account of the evacuation of course. We got off very well but it seemed hard to leave after all we lost, but I think it was the best thing to do as I am sure we could never have done any good there, and we were losing men every day, mostly through sickness. And I would certainly have lost heavily if we had to stay on through the winter. We had some terrible weather in November, rain and snow a treat. I and a good many more were in the trench for about a fortnight without a spell, and during that time we had no water and could not take even our boots off. It seems strange to say we had no
water when it had rained so much, but it was so. When we got a bit of time we used to gather some snow and melt it, but that did not seem to quench our thirst - it
only seemed to make us worse. I never was so thirsty in my life and I never want to be so again. I would have given anything to get a good drink. I saw fellows drink what looked like pure mud and indeed I did it myself. There was a terrible bombardment on November 29. The snow was still on the ground and had frozen hard but all the same a good many of their big shells failed to explode. And a good job too, as quite enough of them did explode with terrible results. A great many were killed by pieces of shell but a great many more lost their lives through being buried. They tried to seek shelter by getting into dugouts and tunnels and places
that, during any ordinary bombardment, would have been quite safe, but they evidently got their big guns up to give us a proper doing, and they succeeded. They were using 11.2 shells, a battery of them. I spent a good part of the day helping to dig some of the poor fellows out dead. Our officer and three NCOs all got knocked. They were stranding together and a ’75 (a high explosive shell) got the four of them. Killed two and badly wounded the others. The officer had to have his leg taken off and it is still doubtful if he will recover. I sincerely hope he does, as he was a fine chap. I’ll not forget the 29th of Nov as long as I live. I was very lucky during my four months over there; I did not get a scratch,
and did not have a day’s sickness, but was not very sorry to get away from it. Now, I’ll tell you a little bit about the way we got off. To begin with we went off in parties called A party, A1 party, B, 31 and B2parties, C1, 02 and C3 - each party leaving at different times. A and A1 left a day before us. They consisted of all the chaps who had been attending the doctor, and a good number there were too. Then the rest all moved off at their appointed times, until only 03 party was left. In the section that our company had been holding, only eight were left, and I had the honour of being one of them. I was with the very last party to leave and, when the time came for us to move off, we wasted no time in getting to the beach (about two miles), where a barge was waiting for us. During the day some of our blankets were torn up and laid in the trenches
and saps, and we also had to wrap bits of blanket around our feet to deaden any sound as the Turks were only a few yards away. We that were left had to try and carry on just the same as we would have done on an ordinary night. No more sniping and when the time came, we hopped off the parapets and off as hard as we could go. If the Turks had attacked us we were gone, as eight of us could not have done much, and we had orders that we had to stay there until our time came - 3.30am was the time. Anyway, we managed it alright. Then we went to a rest camp and put in three weeks there, where we spent Christmas, and had rather a good time. Next time I write I’ll give you some of our experiences there. I must draw ... to a close now, with best wishes.

The boy from Berwick Captain Alexander Paterson By GARRY HOWE AS THE Great War entered its final year the 39th Battalion, made up predominantly of Victorians from the Western District, had at its command a boy from Berwick. The twice decorated Captain Alexander Thomas Paterson, the son of Mr and Mrs W. Paterson of Clyde Road, was appointed to the battalion with the rank of captain on 1 May 1916 and less than a month later had embarked for the battlefields of Europe. He was promoted to major in the 11th Machine Gun Company in October 1917 and within months was heading up the 39th as a lieutenant-colonel at the relatively young age of 33. Paterson had to assume temporary control as the most senior officer left standing during heavy fighting, which eventually led to his promotion as commanding officer of the battalion. His courage and leadership were recognised on 25 April 1917 – the second anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli, when a Military Cross was gazetted in his name. During the battle of Messines in Belgium, the 39th Battalion was gassed at Ploegsteert Wood and suffered heavy casualties. As the senior surviving officer, Paterson took command of the 120 remaining men and

His Military Cross citation read: “He reorganised and led his battalion with great dash and skill after it had been somewhat disorganised owing to the effect of enemy gas shells. He personally silenced an enemy ma-
chine-gun and was responsible for the capture of two others. His courage and fine example had an excellent effect on his men. He was wounded while supervising the consolidation of the line”. After the war, the Distinguished Service Order was bestowed upon Leiutenant-Colonel Paterson in recog-
nition of his gallant service as an infantry leader. The DSO citation stated: “His leadership and ceaseless labour in the preservation and care of his men contributed very largely to the successful carrying out of the many operations of the unit while under his command”.
He returned to Melbourne in October 1919 and married Elizabeth Harrison in February the following year in Berwick, before settling in Malvern. He remained a revered figure within the 39th, writing a book outlining the history of the battalion – The Thirty Ninth, published in 1934.

Blind soldier led the way By ANEEKA SIMONIS
A
YOUNG soldier robbed of sight, taste and smell during the last days of World War I is today remembered by many as a remarkable man who defied his disabilities to become the state’s first honorary solicitor. Dudley Ackerley Tregent, the grandfather of Berwick resident Noella Van Der Linde, enlisted to serve the country on 10 December 1915. He fought in the battlefields of France until the final days of war, where he was wounded by an exploding shell and lost his sight in both eyes on 17 October, 1918 - less than a week after being promoted to sergeant in the 7th Field Artillery Brigade. Dudley recovered at the 2nd London General Hospital before getting permission to visit his injured brother Percy, a 59th Infantry Battalion Private, at a hospital in Wales. A nurse at the hospital put the brothers in adjoining beds where they spent days talking about what Dudley could do when he returned to Australia.“Dudley was greatly concerned as to what he could make of his life. He told Percy he was not going to
sell matches in the street,” according to a chapter of The World is Mine, a book which tells the story of the handicapped ex-serviceman. Refusing to be limited by his disabilities, Dudley enrolled in Melbourne University’s law school where he became the department’s first blind legal graduate, and later, the Legacy Club of Melbourne’s first honorary solicitor. As part of the legacy, Dudley provided free welfare and legal help to deceased servicemen’s dependents. “He gave his services gratuitously and willingly to individuals who sought his help, and always refused to accept any fees. Deprivation of certain senses certainly developed one great attribute - compassion, for which he will always be affectionately remembered,” read a Legacy Club of Melbourne tribute to Dudley, who died on 10 August in 1971. Dudley was best remembered for leading the plea for increased pensions and allowances for ex-servicemen, women and their dependents in 1927. Noella said she and her sister Eileen Crewes always remembered visiting their granddad at his Collins Street law firm - Dudley Tregent and Co.
“If we went to the office to see our grandfather, we had to put on our best dresses. Even though he was blind, we had to be all dressed up and sit there quietly,” Noella recalled. Dudley, who did not have a walking cane or guide dog, lived in a South Yarra home he designed himself and was visited each Sunday by his granddaughters. “We would go for walks in the Royal Botanic Gardens. We had cuddles and would play games, like pulling down his socks while he was sitting in his chair,” Eileen remembered. Noella said her grandfather’s determination to succeed despite the odds is a point of pride within her extended family. “My father and his brother worked at the firm. My aunty also worked there for a time and my cousin is now a judge at the Bendigo Magistrates’ Court,” she said. “He inspired us by teaching us you can do anything you want.” Dudley was married to Eileen Sharp in London on 12 July 1920 - years after meeting her as a Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse during his time in recovery.

Toll of war at close range By GEORGIA WESTGARTH
P
AKENHAM resident Danni Heynes’ great grandfather and WWI veteran, Clarence Leslie Valentine Barclay, was a man who saw the toll of war close up. Serving at Gallipoli as an ambulance driver, Mr Barclay ferried his dead and wounded mates to safety. He later served in France and Belgium, where he suffered from ongoing gassing in the trenches. After dedicating much of his life to serving his country at war, Mr Barclay returned home at the end of WWI and joined the police force. Mr Barclay’s final posting was as a shrine guard at the Shrine of Remembrance, “a fitting finale to a distinguished service,” Ms Heynes said. “He sadly died at the young age of 58 from cancer which resulted from being gassed in France,” she said. Mr Barclay’s daughter Lorna June Chambers has her own wartime story just as poignant as her father’s. Stanley Frederick Chambers, born on 7 April 1922, enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force when WWII broke out only to make the best decision of his life, when he made the choice of Lorna Barclay to become his pen pal. Mr Chambers selected the woman that would steal his heart out of a magazine servicemen were provided with at the time. He chose a young Lorna June and the duo would become “better known to all as Stan and June,” Ms Heynes said. After many months of corresponding, Mr Chambers arranged to meet his pen pal while on leave in Melbourne on the Flinders Street Bridge. However, “the meeting did not eventuate as neither were sure who the other was and they ended up walking past each other,” Ms Heynes said. “The next day, June’s mother answered a knock on the door, looked at the young man nervously standing there in his RAAF uniform and said ‘you must be Stan,’ and that was the beginning of a classic wartime romance, the kind they make movies about,” she said. On 15 October, 1943 Stan and June were married in the chaplain’s office on the RAAF base in Hamilton, the start of their lives together, spanning more than 63 years. “It was a true life wartime romance!” Ms Heynes said. Mr Chambers continued to serve his country, from Mt Gambier, Hamilton and Kingaroy to Townsville and Darwin.
Clarence Leslie Valentine Barclay in WWI.
Clarence Barclay “He was stationed in Darwin at the time it was bombed and lived through the horror of seeing his best friend killed beside him in the bunker they were sheltering in,” Ms Heynes said. Mr Chambers was discharged from service in 1945 at the end of WWII.
Working as a pantograph operator and master craftsman of engraving after the war, Mr Chambers spent more than 25 years with Arrow Engraving and made and installed the bronze Rolls of Honour in the Australian War Memorial. “I was thrilled on a Grade 6 excursion to Canberra, to be able to exclaim proudly, ‘My Pa made those!' Ms Heynes said. Mr Chambers passed away on 21 February, 2007 and the love of his life Lorna June passed on 29 July, 2008. From a family of deserving Australian veterans, Ms Heynes’ six-year-old son is now just as proud of his forebears as his mother is.
Young love, Stan and June.

Lighthorseman’s Gallipoli fight Hugh Ball By ANEEKA SIMONIS
A hand-written letter from Hugh's concerned mother Annie Theresa Ball to the Defence Department in 1915. ever, even when he was totally blind,” Theresa said. An article in the Castlemaine Mail on Thursday 21 April in 1949 said the 53-year-old ex-sergeant was the successful owner on a poultry farm with over 2000 birds. Theresa said he was very proud of
his farm and prize roosters imported from New Zealand. “He loved his farm,” she said. Before establishing the Castlemaine-based poultry farm, Hugh was a Church of Christ minister for 18 years. He retired in 1941 due to health reasons.
Ephrus Hanley Hugh Ball, left, fought gallantly in Gallipoli as part of the 9th Light Horse Regiment.

IT IS with great pride that a Pakenham woman tells the story of her great uncle Ephrus Hanley Hugh Ball, who’d overcome severe war injuries to lead a successful farm in northwest Victoria. Hugh, who served as a sergeant in the 9th Light Horse Regiment, was maimed and blinded as he gallantly fought in Gallipoli at 19 years of age. During the Battle of Hill 60, Hugh’s right arm was blown off at the elbow and he became totally blind after a home-made jam tin bomb exploded in his hand, his great niece Theresa Peters said. “My uncle was a brave man... just like many other men and women who went to the First World War.” His mother Annie Theresa Ball wrote to the Defence Department in July 1915 in search of her son. “It has been months since he left Broadmeadows and we haven’t heard a word from him,” she wrote, requesting his forwarding address. Despite his wartime disabilities, Hugh, who had “beautiful blue eyes”, returned from war and went on to run a poultry farm in Castlemaine – a feat that continually inspired his proud relatives. “(His disabilities) never stopped him when he returned to Australia. He was a young man that never gave up

Silva’s Yankee dreams dashed Eddie Morris is looking forward to developing as a leader, having been named as one of the Casey Scorpions vice-captains for 2015.123396 Picture: JARROD POTTER
Eddie’s ready steady By RUSSELL BENNETT THE winds of change have blown through Casey Fields in the off-season as Melbourne and its VFL affiliate Casey continue to develop their exciting young playing crop. Garfield youngster Eddie Morris was recently named as one of the Scorpions’ vice-captains on the eve of the 2015 season, in new coach Justin Plapp’s first leadership group under lead-by-example skipper Evan Panozza. It’s a big step forward for the versatile tackling machine, but one he’s looking to help springboard him into a big year. Morris, who also studies accounting full-time at university in the city, said his role at the Scorpions had really evolved over the preseason. “From talking to Plappy early in
the pre-season I had a lot of discussions about where I wanted to go this year and where I could continue to grow,” Morris told the Gazette. “We spoke about leadership and he challenged me a lot this year to be more of a leader and stand up and say more around the group. “He was saying that a lot of guys look up to me, even though I may not know it, and to have the confidence to help them out. “I’m a pretty vocal sort of a guy so I do talk a lot, but this year so far has been a lot more one-on-one with guys and helping them out that way. We all make mistakes but you can’t get down on yourself.” Shannon Byrnes, who has 131 games of AFL experience with Geelong and Melbourne to his name, has an expanded role with Casey this season; both as a player,
and a development coach. Morris said he had been working closely with him one-on-one. “Your coaches are always talking to you about how you can improve so everyone is getting challenged in their own way,” Morris said. “He (Byrnes) has that experience that he can pass on and I’ve spent a lot of time with him on leadership as well, and how to be a better leader both on and off the field. “He’s been really big for that.” Morris said his ultimate aim was still to find himself squarely in the sights of AFL recruiters leading up to draft time, but was quick to add that his first priority was to get himself entrenched in the Scorpions senior line-up from week to week - no easy task given the amount of talented Melbourne-listed youngsters who’re also in the side.
He said he was particularly impressed with the way his team-mates Paul Pattison and Lucas Walmsley had rolled their sleeves up and got to work over the pre-season. “They’ve both played seniors all through the practice matches - they got an opportunity early and they were confident in themselves,” he said. “They haven’t looked back at all and have been up to the level straight away - which is great to see.” Morris was one of Casey’s best in a 102-point trouncing of Frankston in their AFL Victoria Development League clash at Casey Fields on Sunday. They next play Werribee at Avalon Airport Oval on Anzac Day from 11am. The Scorpions’ VFL side will head to Whitten Oval to take on Footscray from noon the following day.
MAJOR league dreams for Adam Silva have been dashed for the moment, with Major League Baseball powerhouse New York Yankees releasing the young slugger. Silva, 21, from Narre Warren, had been an early signing and youth prospect for the Yankees when the hitter signed a seven-year deal back in 2010. Injury curtailed any chance for Silva to make it up through the minor league ranks and towards an MLB debut. He was informed of the Yankees decision earlier this month and wrote in a Facebook post that he relished his time with the team and being part of the MLB playing fraternity. “I am saddened to inform you all, friends and family, that my professional career with the New York Yankees has come to an end,” Silva’s post said. “After almost five years with the organisation, I have been released as a player. “My time with the Yankees has been nothing short of a dream, something I will carry with me for the rest of life.” Silva was adamant that this was just the beginning of his baseball journey and not the final chapter in his MLB/ABL career. “This all being said, this is not the end,” Silva said. “I will succeed and I will be the best at what I do. “Whether that is with another opportunity in baseball or a career move outside of the sport... Big things to come!” His off-seasons have been much more impressive though, as he converted from the Melbourne Aces to the Canberra Calvalry for the Australian Baseball League’s 2014-15 season, where he featured in 35 matches made had a batting average of .211.
Eagles’ flood of goals By JARROD POTTER CONTINUING the paintrain for all that face Cranbourne, the Eagles soared past Darebin in a 62-point belting. While 60 points doesn’t seem like a complete demolition, considering the monsoonal rain, hail and sleet and the sodden surface at Casey Fields, that margin was indicative of Cranbourne’s complete control of the clash. A three-goal opening term set the stage for the Eagles before unleashing total defensive pressure.
The Falcons only kicked a solitary behind after quarter time as Kris Smith’s fleet-footed defenders and midfielders seized the ball with ease. It helped set up Cranbourne’s elite forwards - Hayley Wildes (three goals), who is quickly becoming one of the best players in the division, and Bianca Jakobsson (two goals), who was unstoppable streaming from one end to the other. Danielle Hardiman’s defensive efforts along with Bonita Wilder, Corrine Cullis and Brianna
Phelps (two goals) were also in the best. The Eagles retain their top billing on the VWFL Division 1 ladder and face Bendigo away next weekend on 3 May. Cranbourne’s seconds didn’t fare as well, thoroughly bested by Deer Park in a 55-point loss. Casey Birmingham kicked the Eagles only goal while Kirsty Roche, Jenna Edwards and Cat Robinson featured in the best. Cranbourne is away against Kew for its Division 3 clash next weekend.
Corrinne Cullis streams past a sea of Falcons to slot a goal on a dreary Sunday afternoon. 137854

Falcons declare their intent EMPHATICALLY brushing aside Bayswater, Endeavour Hills soared in its debut Victorian Women’s Football League (VWFL) clash. A six-goal opening term signalled the Falcons’ intent early as the likes of Sarah and Georgia Punton, Rebecca Sadler stood up and dominated early. The torrential rain that beset the south-east heavily affected the second half, but by then Endeavour Hills was well and truly on top to push away to a 12.17 (89) to 1.1 (7) triumph in its first ever VWFL Division 3 match. Coach Mark Haughton was thrilled for his charges. “The Divvy three girls absolutely smashed it in the first half then it rained in the second,” Haughton said. “The game-style was brilliant and the girls performed fantastically. “I’m just so happy for the girls - they went out there and played in excellent spirit, but when the siren went it was game on. “We also had four first timers that played really well.” Supporting the opposition, almost as well as their own team-mates, the Falcons players wore pink ribbons in support of the Bayswater - rallying around an injured player who recently involved in a car accident - and raised nearly $500 to help out. Sitting on top of the ladder - with a whopping 1271.43 per cent - the Falcons will return home next weekend following the Anzac Day holiday break to face Seaford in Endeavour Hills’ first home match at Barry Powell Reserve. “I couldn’t be more excited - the girls are keen - it’s like its Christmas tomorrow,” Haughton said.

Scorpions get the point Endeavour Hills coach Mark Haughton - pictured during the pre-season - was thrilled with both of his sides' performances on VWFL debut. 135442 Picture: JARROD POTTER “Div 3 weren’t able to wear the home colours as Bayswater has very similar colours to us, so we’ll also get to be in the club colours for the first time. “For all of the hard work that everyone has put in players, coaches and the committee - it will be a very special game and it is a great atmosphere.” The East Division side didn’t fare as well as the senior brigade, downed by 73 points as AFL Gippsland was too strong on home soil. With a brand new side-
featuring 14 players who have never put on the boots before - Liz Whitfield - a former St John’s champion midfielder - and playing-coach Meredith Denvir have taken the new players under their wings and started showing the way. A solitary goal to Erin Louise Hart was the sole contribution for the Falcons in their second grade season opener, but will get a fortnight’s break, with Anzac Day weekend plus next weekend’s bye, before facing Rosebud in its first home match on Sunday 10 May.

By JARROD POTTER LAST quarter score-line flattery didn’t hide a dark-anddreary day for Casey Scorpions in its VFL season opener. Spraying their way through a wet-and-wild Sunday afternoon at Casey Fields, the Scorpions held Frankston through the first term. The Scorpions kept the Dolphins out of the goal-column despite having a three-goal wind towards the BerwickCranbourne Road end, Casey rallied in reply to boot five goals and take a 37-point margin to the main break. Despite the odd dust-up and jumper-punch between the sides, it was clear that Casey had the match by the scruff of the neck but couldn’t quite put the result beyond doubt. Casey chipped away at Frankston’s resolve on the scoreboard, but to Casey coach Justin Plapp’s dismay, it was through a constant stream of behinds. While Plapp’s charges were in complete control through the final term - Casey’s wayward feet did not help the cause following a 5.9 performance. Even with the 21 minor scores marring the Casey effort, there was plenty to be happy with at Casey Fields as the Scorpions showed they will no
Melbourne-listed Casey defender Jack Grimes and Frankston's Ryan Kitchin exchange pleasantries in the Scorpions' victory. 137845 longer dwell on the lower rungs of the VFL ladder. Viv Michie led the Scorpions’ charge with 27 disposals and nine tackles while Matt Jones (25 disposals) and Jimmy Toumpas (24 disposals) were on the charge, and Rohan Bail was best of the forwards kicking three. “I was frustrated for the boys as they worked really hard in the first half to get us into that position,” Plapp said. “Footy can sometimes come back and bite you on the a**e and we didn’t make the most of our opportunities which was probably the most frustrating part.”
The Scorpions may have uncovered the best side of Jack Fitzpatrick’s game yet as the ruckman switched defensively and excelled, taking 10 marks and floating across as third-man up in a number of contests. “It’s going to be an education thing along the way, but definitely might have found him another position,” Plapp said. “We’re going to be working hard to develop that part of his game.” Casey heads to Whitten Oval on Sunday afternoon to face the reigning VFL premiers Footscray from noon.
Eagles’ goal in clear sight SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE - DIVISION 2/3 ROUND 2 DOVETON Eagles couldn’t kick straight in their 6.14 (50) defeat by Caulfield 11.15 (81). Despite storming back in to the clash to take a half-time lead, the Eagles failed to fly after the break as Caulfield booted seven goals to two. Moreover, The Doveton Eagles’ lads had their chances to stick in the match but sprayed seven behinds in the second half. On a down day, Enayte Sa-
madi, Rob Kreskas and Corrie Wilson showed they are the best from the Eagles’ nest. Doveton Eagles faces Skye this weekend at Power Reserve. Keysborough stormed its way to second on the SFL Division 2 ladder with a comprehensive 74-point belting of Murrumbeena. Tyson King (six goals) excelled from the forward-arc and is relishing the new standard after switching from Casey Cardinia last year. Also starring were Geoff Humphreys, Scott Chamberlain and Will Gayfer. Keysborough
hosts Hampton this weekend in a battle between second and third. Showing it’s a side on the rise, Endeavour Hills swooped on South Yarra to push itself into the SFL Division 3 top four with a six-point win. All square heading into the final term at 53-apiece, the Falcons flew out of the gates with Ryan Imeson (four goals) and the human brick Daniel Morrison (two goals) feasting on the delivery from Cade Marshall, Aaron Brooks and Josh Dart.

Lions across the line By DAVID NAGEL SOUTH East Football League fancy Narre Warren has a new foe to contend with after the Magpies had their wings clipped by an emerging Pakenham at Fox Road on Saturday. Lock this one in the vault under “classic” with the Magpies and Lions producing a high-standard and free-flowing contest that went all the way down to the wire. The lead changed hands at the end of the first three quarters - the Lions’ superb 7.4 to 3.1 first term answered with an 8.4 to 2.2 response from the Magpies. Pakenham lifted its rating in the third quarter, kicking six goals to three, ensuring a hot finish to a cracking game of footy. The Magpies looked to have broken the Lions in the final term but late goals to Damien Holmes and Russell Lehman, who had a terrific second half, got the Lions across the line in a thriller. “I asked the players at half time to keep concentrating and keep sticking to the things they do well and, full credit to them, they played amazing footy and I was very proud of them in the end,” Pakenham coach Steve O’Bryan said. Daniel Fry and Jake Smith kicked four each for the Lions but it was the second-half performance of Lehman, who kicked three goals after the main break while going toe-to-toe with Michael Collins, and a brilliant game from skipper Dean
Champion Narre Warren full-forward Kerem Baskaya kicked five goals in the Magpies’ narrow defeat at the hands of Pakenham on Saturday. 137779 Blake that carried the Lions across the line. Andrew Hunter had great game in the ruck for the Magpies, while Collins, Col McNamara and young big-man Jordyn Flannery all contributed heavily to a great contest. Kerem Baskaya was the leading forward on the ground with five, but was held goal-less in the final term by Stephen Morey. Doveton made it three-fromthree with a grinding two-point win against ROC at Starling Road. The Kangaroos looked to have the Doves measure in the final term, but late goals to Michael Laszczyk, and a set shot from Jordan Temopoulos at the 29-minute mark gave the Doves their second nail-biting
win in succession after last week’s one-point thriller against Tooradin. Ruckman Russell Gabriel was once again fantastic for the Doves while Shannon Henwood, Phil Nanfra and Michael Henry fought hard for some midfield ascendency. Matt Clarke was dangerous with five for ROC while his team-mate Ben O’Loughlin was terrific in defence. Cranbourne kicked 12 goals to two in the second half on its way to a 37-point win over a very disappointing Berwick at Edwin Flack Reserve. There was no panic in the Eagles’ camp after Berwick had slammed on 7.5 to no score in the second quarter to turn an 18-point
quarter-time deficit into a 29-point half-time lead. Mat Fletcher and Max Gearon got plenty of the ball through the midfield for the Eagles, who had Michael Theodoridis boot five for the afternoon. Berwick’s Mitch Johnson matched that output for the losers while Jo West and Jayden Joyce also played serviceable games. Reigning premier Beaconsfield has overcome the Stephen Milne Show and a slow start to run out 51-point winners over Hampton Park at Robert Booth Reserve. Milne, who came in under an injury cloud after rolling his ankle playing for Strathfieldsaye in the Bendigo league last week, kicked three goals and added some real interest as the Redbacks pushed the Eagles to their limits in the first half. The Eagles lifted their intensity, banging on 7.5 to 2.0 in the third quarter in their only dominant period for the match. Ruckman Scott Meyer slowly but surely got on top of a brave Billy Thomas, Daniel Mislicki and the returning Tyson Mitchem were busy through the midfield, while Taylor Joyce, five goals, and Chris Worner, four, were dangerous up forward. For the Redbacks, Nathan Carver once again presented well at centrehalf-forward while defenders Luke Nunan and Kane White were other impressive performers. Tooradin had the bye.

ROC-solid start, Scotty Girls are back in the game By JARROD POTTER
By DAVID NAGEL A GRUELLING pre-season under second-year coach Scott Eastwood would appear to be paying off for ROC with an impressive 14-goal win in its season opener against Doveton at Starling Road on Saturday. Eastwood, who represented Victoria at the Men’s National Championships as a player in 2000, took over the reins last year when the club was caught short with the departure of its previous coach. The former Bonbeach, Hampton Park and Kooweerup footballer has had a full pre-season to work with his side this time around and has already noticed improvement. “Last year, we had a very interrupted season, with the coaches leaving at an early stage and me taking over, but this year we’ve had plenty of time to prepare,” he said. “We’ve worked well as a group and I can see a lot of advancements already. To go out and perform like we did, against last year’s premiers is a promising sign, but there’s a long way to go and we’ve still got plenty of things we can improve on.” Eastwood said there was clear focus heading into the pre-season grind. “The number one thing was to get the fitness base up because we struggled last year to run out games,” he said. “The A Grade games in this league can be intense, so that was a main area of focus. Then four weeks out, we started working on systems and those types of things.” ROC’s fitness and structure really stood out against the Doves, with defenders Laura Quinn (GK), Mel Overdyk (GD) and Sophie Tracey (WD) combining beautifully with Amy Tivendale (C) through the midcourt. Former Berwick goaler Laura Hargreaves (GS) looked dangerous under the ring, fed with precision passing from Gemma Stacey (GA) and Kylie Bradshaw (WA). ROC led by three goals at quarter time and stretched that to 13 with a dominant 16 to 6 second quarter. Doveton defenders Cara Humbert (GK) and Aggie Seeto (GD) used their athleticism
Pakenham’s Toni Dart leaps high to accept a pass against Narre Warren on Saturday. The Lions went down 44-36 to the Magpies at Fox Road. 137779 Picture: ROB CAREW to keep the electronic scoreboard in reasonable shape for their side. In other games, Kerry Twyford didn’t get the result she was after in her return to Fox Road, her Pakenham side going down 44-36 to Narre Warren, while Berwick bounced back from its round one loss to Beaconsfield with a 36-33 victory over Cranbourne. Hampton Park, minus its star goaler Emma Ryde, suffered its first loss of the season, losing to the still undefeated Beaconsfield, 40-32. There are only two games this Anzac weekend, with Cranbourne hosting Tooradin at Casey Fields and Pakenham and ROC taking to the court at Toomuc Reserve.
BACK in the elite ranks for 2015, former Berwick WFC duo Ellie Blackburn and Katie Loynes will get their chance to run out in the AFL again. Blackburn, 20, from Endeavour Hills and Loynes, 29, were delisted by Melbourne and Western Bulldogs respectively ahead of this year’s AFL Women’s Draft which was held Monday night. With only six spots available to retain players from the previous season, Blackburn and Loynes just missed out, but the duo was part of the best 34 from a draft pool of 268 hopefuls. Blackburn was taken again by Melbourne - after featuring for the Demons in both Women’s AFL matches since her debut in 2013 - this time at pick six after blitzing the 2014 Women’s AFL match. Snaring 27 touches and in the Demons’ 46-point belting of the Bulldogs, Blackburn was the top possession-getter on the field and was considered dreadfully unlucky to be delisted by the Demons. “I was pretty shocked to go that high up but I was sitting there and I was relived in the end,” Blackburn said. “Sitting there and hearing my name called out was a big sigh of relief, and I’m excited to be part of Melbourne again. “It’s really good that we get the opportunity to play on both of the big grounds (MCG and Etihad Stadium) and, hopefully, show our talent and get away with a couple of wins.” Loynes, who currently plays for Diamond Creek, was re-re-

After a horror 18 months - sidelined with a severe knee injury - Loynes gets her chance to return to the AFL ranks as the Western Bulldogs ninth pick in the draft. She didn’t play in 2014 but will return for the Doggies this season as the women’s competition expands to two matches this year. “It definitely was a massive surprise, didn’t see it happening and I was just hoping to be drafted,” Loynes said. “It was overwhelming, to be honest. “Even before the draft selection game - tearing ligaments in the ankle - it was another setback “It was just a long process hoping to come back last year
and that didn’t happen and I think being patient has proved to work in my favour.” Loynes and Blackburn will get a chance to feature in two AFL matches this season, with the first held at the MCG on Sunday May 24 and the second clash on 16 August at Etihad Stadium. The Women’s AFL matches will serve as curtain-raisers before Melbourne/Western Bulldogs AFL fixtures. Blackburn and Loynes both wanted to thank their clubs Melbourne Uni and Diamond Creek respectively - and their families and friends for their support. Former Narre Warren midfielder Kara Donnellan was retained by the Demons and rounds out the three south-eastern footballers set to line up in the Women’s AFL clashes.

Ex-Cavs old friends By JARROD POTTER FAMILIAR faces came back to haunt the Cavaliers in the Division 1 men’s 75-87 loss to Southern Peninsula. The ghosts of Casey line-ups past returned to spook the Cavaliers and inflict a 12-point defeat against Stewart Baird’s charges. With Matt Witherden unavailable, the Cavaliers shuffled their line-up and got out to a strong start - pushing towards a 10-point lead in the second term as Brent Hobba (18 points, nine rebounds, six assists) and James Deneefe (14 points) kept the scoreboard ticking around. With former Cavaliers Jono Hawes (14 points, 10 rebounds) and Michael Troyahn (four points) - as well as former Youth Men’s coach Luke Sunderland now the Sharks head coach - the match had complete Cranbourne-flavour as everyone was well acquainted in the south-east showdown. A 12-27 third term deficit left the Cavaliers scrambling after Sharks’ guard Max Allin (31 points, eight assists) found his range. Steve Michalski (nine points) reeled in the margin back to six - knocking off back-
to-back treys as well as an assist finding skipper Dean Johnson (12 points, six rebounds). But from there the Sharks frenzied to find a few get-out-of-trouble baskets via Allin and Matt Pollard (13 points, five rebounds). They would extend the margin back beyond 10, leaving the challenge too much for the Cavaliers to reel in. After leaving the Cavaliers over the offseason, Hawes made the most of his first clash against the old side. Hawes had the last laugh, hitting the final lay-up of the match to take the victory and bringing the bragging rights down to Rosebud for the time being in what is suiting up to be a hotly contested rivalry. Casey has slipped to seventh in the Big V Division 1 Watson Conference and will need to bounce back against La Trobe City on Saturday night. The Cavaliers will host the Energy in an Anzac Day Clash from 8pm at Casey Indoor Leisure Centre. Casey’s women smashed past North East 70-34 - with Bec Magdich (16 points, 11 rebounds) and Jess Szalek (13 points) posting big numbers. Tim Parker’s brigade sits fourth on the Division 2 Women’s ladder and will face Mornington on Sunday afternoon from 1pm.

Juniors the focus of club’s new-look deal Golfers fire in By DAVID NAGEL THE Casey-South Melbourne Cricket Club will field teams in the West Gippsland Cricket Association junior competition for the very first time, starting in the coming 2015/16 season. CSM cricket operations manager John Hayes and WGCA general manager Rob Hansen have been meeting since late October, discussing ways on how to make the relationship stronger between the parties and to how create a better pathway for junior cricketers in the region. The Swans, who are looking to field teams in the WGCA under13s, under-15s and under-17s in their first season, have until Monday 25 May, when the WGCA sits for its annual general meeting, to put forward their proposal. Hayes, a former WGCA Country Week captain, said the club - which plays in the elite Victorian Premier Cricket competition - was not out to raid WGCA junior clubs and become a powerhouse of the league. “I understand the concerns of the WGCA clubs but that is not what
WGCA premiers, the Officer under 13 will have new competition next season when Casey-South Melbourne enters junior teams in Picture: CONTRIBUTED the WGCA for the very first time. 136583 this is about,” Hayes said. “This is about Casey-South Melbourne and the WGCA coming together to build from the ground up, and to establish firm foundations that we haven’t had in the past. Both parties agree that the positives far outweigh the negatives and hopefully the clubs can open their minds
and think about that bigger picture. “There’ll be rules and regulations put in place to make sure there’s an even playing field for all clubs.” The benefits for both parties would appear obvious, the WGCA gaining access to the Swans’ elite facilities and training methods
while the Swans take a more handson approach to talent identification throughout the WGCA. Hansen agrees that the partnership is exciting and says the WGCA clubs should have some faith in the decision that has been made. “We’re not dills, we’re not going to agree to something that will have a detrimental effect on our clubs and the WGCA as a whole,” Hansen said. “This is about growth and expanding proportionally to one of the fastest urban growth corridors in Australia.” The WGCA clubs had no reason to fear a mass exodus of players to the Swans, Hansen said. “Casey-South Melbourne will have to become affiliated with the WGCA if it wants to play in the junior competition which means the WGCA has control over clearances between clubs.” The Swans are looking to play some under-17s games on turf and are working with the City of Casey to have a suitable number of synthetic pitches installed at Casey Fields.

Dean Baker’s sensational round on Monday, after backing up from a win in pennant on Sunday, is definitely worth mentioning as he finished a close second to Dave with 40 points - a previous club champion, Dean plays off 2 so his 40 points equated to a 67 (2 under) off the stick. Nick Steel continued his recent rich vein of form claiming the junior medal for April with a nett 65 on Saturday.

By DEREK OGDEN AH, those Italians. Back in 1923, race driver Ugo Sivocci slapped a green four-leaf clover on his ‘RL’ and drove it to victory in the first of Alfa Romeo’s ten Targa Florio wins. Since then, the ‘Quadrifoglio Verde’ has been the symbol of Alfa Romeo racing cars and later graced special road-going series. Latest to take on the lucky charm is the Giulietta, which, according to the maker, marks the return of the pure Italian hot hatch. The QV tops off an already refreshed Giulietta range that, with its not-to-be ignored styling, including all-new interiors, an exterior facelift and awardwinning powertrains, brings unique Italian style and sophistication to the segment. Available in three trim levels - Progression, Distinctive and the Quadrifoglio Verde hot hatch - from $29,000, plus onroad costs, it is the last that concerns us here. True to the Alfa Romeo race tradition, the Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde is equipped with a new engine and is available with twin-clutch transmission and launch control. Alternatively it can be had with a six-speed manual gearbox. Alfa Romeo has also brought
