Zhe War, Since August the war has entered on a new phase, and for the present the Balkans are the chief centre of interest. German aggression in the East has slackened, and the Russians have rallied in a surprising way, while Bulgaria has removed all doubts as to its intentions by throwing in its lot with the enemy.

With the accession of Bulgaria, Germany, assisted by the Bulgarians on the East, prepared to attack Servia. The Allies began at once to throw troops into Salonica, in order to link up with the Servians and, if possible, save them from destruction.

For the achievement of this, prompt and energetic action was necessary; a course far from easy, when different governments had to be brought into accord,

en such a difficult question of policy.

On the one hand it seemed absolutely essential to attempt to save Servia; on the other it seemed*'suicidal to weaken the Western front by withdrawing troops.

Greece, too, began to adopt a dangerous attitude.

Finding herself between the devil and the deep sea, she temporised, and but for the fear of our fleet, would probably be openly hostile.

The position is full of complications.

Germany and Austria, whose numbers, it is believed, are now beginning to fail (competent judges assure us that their reserves are all but, if not quite, exhausted) have by clever diplomacy, mingled with bribes and threats, practised on Bulgaria to secure its support.

In this way Germany hopes to replenish her own exhausted numbers by using the Bulgarians.

Her motive seems to be as much political as military—like Napoleon, to intimidate small neutral States. Wonderful reports are sown abroad as to Germany's objects. She is to invade Egypt, to reach the Persian Gulf, even India is spoken of as her goal. This would seem to be a desperate gamester's last throw. Having failed to reach a decision on the Eastern or Western front Germany seeks to hide her failure by recklessly extending the area of the struggle. At first the prospect looks dark indeed, but on closer inspection becomes brighter.

Napoleon after mastering Central Europe embarked on his Russian campaign, and by his mad folly brought about his own ruin. So Germany is only adding to her already huge responsibilities by stretching so far from her base.

Besides, her Eastern allies will probably quarrel among themselves, and are not likely to remain for long faithful in their allegiance. In the meantime our sympathies are with the suffering Servians. At the present moment they are retiring into Albania, and the Allies are falling back on Salonica. I t is to Russia

we now look for help. If she can prevail with Roumania, and bring succour from that quarter, all should be well.

In the meantime England commands the sea, and it is on the Eastern and Western front that the decision of this war must be looked for.

One good result of the Balkan complications is that a greater effort is now being made by the Allies.

Better co-ordination is being shown, and an International Council of W a r has been formed. Italy, too, should be able to give substantial aid in the new theatre, and with the Spring we must hope for a brighter outlook.

The whole question of the future resolves itself into this, which side will first reach exhaustion in men and money and munitions. This only time will tell. And time we believe to be on our side.

School Botes* Speech Day will be held on Tuesday, the 14th of December, in the Bracebridge-Wilson Hall.

The prizes will be distributed by His Excellency the Governor-General, Sir Ronald Munro FergusonSchool will re-assemble on Tuesday, the 8th of February.

The School Pastime will be held in the Bracebridge Wilson Hall on Monday evening, the 13th of December.

The Consecration of the School Chapel took place on Monday, the 1st of November (All Saints' -Day).

It was dedicated to All Saints by the Right Rev. H. Lowther Clarke, Archbishop of Melbourne.

On the same day, following the Consecration, a Memorial Service was held (the first service in the

consecrated Chapel) in memory of old Grammarians who have fallen in the war. Dean Godby was the preacher, and the full text of his sermon will be found in another part of this number.

We learn with great regret that Lieut.-Colonel Garrard, who has offered himself for military service, will retire from his position as Secretary to the Council at the end of this year. Colonel Garrard joined the siati of the School as a master in February 1883, and remained in that position until the end of 1912, when he accepted his present appointment. H e has therefore been for 33 years in the service of the School.

Ju our next number we propose to review his long career amongst us.

It is announced that Mr. Edward A. Austin has been appointed to succeed Colonel Garrard as Secretary to the Council and Bursar of the School.

Eleven of the Senior Boys of the School are leaving this term, to enlist for the war.

Mr. C. H. Brewer, the Senior Science Master, is also leaving us (we hope only for a little while) to offer his services for the war.

We wish them all God's speed and a safe return.

Colonel S. E. Christian has been awarded the decoration of C.M.G., for military service at the Dardanelles.

On Tuesday, the 2nd of November, the first Confirmation Service in the School Chapel was held, when the Archbishop of Melbourne confirmed thirty-three members of the School.

The School Examinations began on Wednesday, the 1st of December.

The Divinity Examinations .vhich were those of the Diocesan Board of Education, were held in November.

The Senior and Junior Public Examinations, which also began on the 1st of December, were held in the Bracebridge-Wilsou Hall, and were conducted for the University authorities by the Rev. H. Stanley Hollow.

Of the sixteen Old Grammarians who have fallen in the war, we publish in this number the photographs of ten. We should be very grateful to receive the photographs of as many others as possible for future publication.

The Headmaster wishes to express thanks to G. P. Kay for the good work he has done for the School in cataloguing and arranging the museum.

Among donations to the Museum this term is an interesting relic from the old school at Geelong. This is the big bell from the tower, which disturbed the rest of so many generations of boys. It came into the possession of J. Maroney, an old Geelong Grammarian, through his uncle, who was the contractor for transforming the old school into a City Hall, nntil tbt project was abandoned. Maroney has presented the t e l l to the School Museum, where it will enjoy the rest it has so well earned by disturbing the rest of others,,

IResiQnatlon of tbe School Secretary anfc Bursar, On the 14th October last Lieut.-Colonel Garrard sent in his resignation as Secretary and Bursar to the School Council.

At a special meeting called for the purpose of con* sidering same, the Council accepted the resignation with regret. It was also decided, in view of Colonel Garrard's past services to the School, and the fact of his having offered his services to his country, that the Council would give special consideration as to reengaging him on his retiring from Military Service at the end of the War, provided there was any position he could be appointed to. In further consideration and appreciation of his services to the School as a Master, as Coach of the School Crews, and as Secretary and Bursar, the Council voted him an Honorarium. ' • ;'\ The Council wish him the best of good fortune in his Military career, and hope he will succeed in getting a position commensurate with the knowledge and long experience he has had in Military matters. /

Consecration of tbe Gbapel.

The Chapel was consecrated and dedicated to All Saints, by the Most Rev. H. Lowther Clarke, Lord Archbishop of Melbourne, on All Saints' Day, November 1st. The weather was threatening, with a strong westerly wind, and a heavy squall, which broke as the procession was forming, seemed likely to delay the proceedings.

However, except for the strong wind, we were fortunate in the day. A good number of clergy were present—the Very Rev. C, J. Godby, the Dean of Melbourne; Archdeacon Hindley, Canon TTughes, Canon Snodgrass and Canon Wheeler (who acted as chaplains to the Archbishop) ; the Revs. H. S. Hollow (Vicar of Christ Church, Geelong), F. W.R. Newton (Vicar of Holy Trinity, Coburg), Cassiar.

Crotty, (Vicar of St. Matthew's, Cheltenham), K. J. F. Bickersteth (Chaplain of Melbourne Grammar School), H. Kelly (Precentor of St. Paul's Cathedral), H. F. Fowler (Vicar of Lara), E. Love, J. H. Allen, C. H. Lea (Organist and Assistant Chaplain), and F. E. Brown (Head Master).

The form of service was as follows :—When the choir and clergy had taken their seats in the aisle, Psalm exxii. was chanted; His Grace said a collect, standing without the door, and knocked upon the door, and, entering, prayed for " Peace to this House."

The petition for Consecration being presented, the procession moved to their places singing Psalm lxxxiv. (which was sung at the laying of the Foundation Stone of the Chapel). Then followed an exhortation ; the " Veni C r e a t o r " ; a prayer for God's Blessing on the service ; the Lord's' Prayer and Versicles and Responses (taken by the Head Master) ; the Dedicatory Hymn ; the Consecration of the Altar; the Dedication of the

Organ; Hymn 242; the pronouncement of the Consecration; Hymn 298; Sermon by the Archbishop; the Offertory, during which Hymn 436 was sung; Prayer? for God's Blessing on the School and on those who had built and furnished the Chapel, and for worship " in truth and purity to all generations." The Archbishop pronounced the Blessing ; the first verse of the National Anthem was s u n g ; and H y m n 437 followed, during the last two verses of which the procession preceded His Grace to the door.

The Archbishop took as his text the words, " The house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither; so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building."— 1 Kings vi. 7.

His Grace said:—The house here spoken of was the Temple of Solomon, built on Mount Moriah.

King David had longed to build it to the honour of God, but when in his later years he found that God would not allow him this privilege, he spent his time and his powers in making preparations. It was to be exceeding magnifical, of fame and glory throughout all countries.

Like a wise and affectionate father he laboured to make the task easier for his brilliant son, and in his closing days he spake thus pathetically of his own shattered hopes and of rhe great honour before Solomon. " Now, my son, the Lord be with thee, and prosper thee and build the house of the Lord thy God. Behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the Lord Of the gold, the silver and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore and be doing, and the Lord will be with thee."

The temple was built on Mount Moriah where centuries before Abraham had showed his willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac in obedience to the Divine Will.

On Mount Moriah stood the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, which David purchased as a site for the altar he erected to commemorate the turning away of the avenging hand from The city. On this sacred spot, doubly dear to national sentiment, the foundations were dug down to the native rock. They brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones,

20

THE CORIAN

Dec'15

to lay the foundations of the house. The building was to laugh to scorn the destroying hand of time.

For seven and a half years the work went on.

The temple rose in majestic silence. No mason's chisel was heard hewing the stone, no carpenter's axe shaped the timber, no tool of iron broke the stillness of- the work.

Many thousands of men worked in the quarries and forests of Lebanon, hewing the stones and cutting the timber.

The servants of Hiram, King of Tyre, helped those of Solomon, and the building was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither, and like some tall palm tree the gorgeous temple grew. Such is the story of the temple of Solomon. I know nothing in all history to compare with this silent building.

As you take possession to-day of this School Chapel now consecrated and set apart for the worship of Almighty God through His Son Jesus Christ, this old story becomes a parable replete with meaning for all of us. The Chapel is the gift of the family of Falkiner, of N.S.W.; the organ, the gift of the family of Black, oi Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all old boys of the School ; and many other memories and affections have combined to present this School with its most valuable building.

Need I say what influence will go forth within these walls upon generations of young men.

Here you shall learn to face life with the dauntless courage of Christian boys ; here you shall be taught by the lips of successive masters the things which alone lead life to sovereign power; and here in the days of your youth you will resolve, I hope, to carry through all the coming years the sanctifying influence of public worship. I foresee for this Grammar School a foremost place in Australian life. The greatness of the buildings when all are completed will make them worthy of taking a place side by side with the noblest public schools in England, and what these schools are and have been to the Motherland, Geelong Grammar School shall increasingly become to Australia.

And now for the parable of the foundation stones of the Temple. Were they great and costly and hewn?''

So also are the lives of us all, the lives of all the masters who shall ever teach here, and the lives of all

Dec'15

THE'CORIAN

21

the boys who come to learn. Our lives are great, for they are God's gift to us. There is no such thing as a useless life, unless we make it so. The greatness of men's lives opens out before them as they respond to the Divine purpose. And true greatness is something open to everyone, for it does not depend upon intellect or position or wealth, but upon character and purpose, upon self control and faithfulness and duty.

These are the ideals of your young lives which will be unceasingly proclaimed in this Chapel, and taught in the classrooms of the School.

Our lives, too, are costly.

The Eternal Father, Who has created us, loves us, and has made us for Himself. We are all of us precious and costly in His sight. He has sent His Only-Begotten Son to reveal His Will and show the Father to us. A life without religion is never successful, but it is selfish, and the service of God and man never rests upon a secure foundation without religion.

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

In the worship of this Chapel, in its reverence and prayer and praise, in its sacraments and spoken message, you will always be pointed to Him Who came to save us from our sins.

Once more, our lives are hewn, i.e., shaped and fashioned by all the experiences of life into the design and pattern which God wishes us to be.

There are no aimless lives. For good or for evil, every day is forming for us habits of mind and body and principles of heart, and soul, which by a thousand unperceived influences make us what we are. And the impress of early days is so lasting that to old age you will find yourselves shaping and guiding your conduct by the lessons learnt at school. This makes your school 4ays of such surpassing moment.

Here you learn on a larger scale than in family life to subject your will to others, to control the temper and to learn justice and fair play in school and on the play grounds.

And over every life hovers the brooding Spirit of God which is ever seeking to correct our faults and lead us in the way of righteousness. The lessons of school life are part of God's purpose for us; whereby He is preparing us to take part in the greater duties of after

22

THE CORIAN

Dec'15

years, and in every place to play the man. " There is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will."

Xow let me indulge in a vision of this school's future.

Through the more than fifty years of its history it has embedded itself deeply in the affections of past generations of boys. To their affection you, to-day, owe these noble buildings and these classre oins, this Chapel, and the playgrounds, all of which dwarf the less generous provision of the past.

The School has entered now upon greater tasks, and with a wider vision in the future it aspires to lead in Australian life. There shall go forth, wc trust, year by year, a supply of young men who will know how to serve Cod both in Church and State.

Let me give you words spoken many years ago to Marrow boys by Dr. Farrar, when he bade them farewell from the pulpit of the School Chapel :—"I have said enough to convince you that because God is faithful, you need not do wrong Oh, rouse yourselves, and play the man.

Indolence and selfishness would terrify you by the sight of lions in the path, but press onward, and you will find them chained.

God does not mean you to perish. Your Lord came to seek the sinful. He died to save the lost. Make but one effort, and yours too shall be the blessedness of him whose iniquity is forgiven and whose sin is covered."

With the impressive words of the poet Kipling, in which he describes true manhood, I close this first sermon in your consecrated house of God. (The preacher then quoted " If," by Rudyard Kipling).

MEMORIAL

SERVICE.

The Consecration Service was followed, after a brief pause, by a Memorial Service for the Old Geelong Grammarians who have fallen in the war.

The opening sentences from the Service for the Burial of the Dead were read by the Rev. H. S.

Dec. '15

THE CORIAN

23

Hollow; Psalms xxiii. and xlvi. were sung ; the Lesson (Revelation xxi. 1-5) was read by the Rev. H. Kelly ; that part of the Burial Service which begins with the words " Man that is born of a woman" was read by the Rev. F W . R. Newton ; Hymn 537 was sung ; Canon Snodgrass read the Lesson, the Lesser Litany, the Lord's Prayer, and Versicles ; the Head Master read the five Collects which followed ; Hymn 512 was sung.

Then came the Sermon by the Dean of Melbourne, who at the close read the Collect for All Saints' Day, and pronounced the Benediction. With the playing of " O Rest in the Lord," from Mendelssohn's " Elijah,"—an air at once full of pathos and eloquent of comfort—there ended a service, perfectly simple, but singularly beautiful and impressive.

On the singing of the Choir the adequate rendering of the services depended to a very great extent, and we are glad to say that the music was well carried through, and was distinctly helpful to the congregations who gathered within the walls of the Chapel.

The Choristers no doubt gained a new sense of unity and of the sacredness and dignity of their work, from the fact of their being properly vested for the first time on this great day, and for this we are most grateful to the members of the School Council, who sanctioned the supplying of this great want. W e are sure the choir profited much. They had worked hard and willingly, and they deserve our sincerest gratitude for what they did.

The text of the Dean's sermon was Joel ii. 2.; Your young men shall see visions." He said: It is beautifully fitting that the first use after consecration of this Chapel, which is to be the centre of so much young life for generations to come, should be the making solemn memorial before God of those who have gone out, if, not from this place, at least from this society of school, and have given their lives in the sacred cause of King and country. Have given their lives ! When tears are dried and sore hearts are healed, shall we wish it to have been otherwise ? For ourselves, perhaps, we shall ; but for them, surely not. For they have seen the vision and followed, and

24

THE CORIAN

Dec'15

it has led them through brief suffering into the great beyond, where they are still in the hand of God, learning, we believe, in the higher school, and working with fuller power at the greater tasks.

They have seen the visions ; that wonderful vision of duty, the attaining of power to behold which is the ultimate aim of all true education. They were under no compulsion to go. Their lives were their own to offer or to retain. They could have helped the good cause from the safety of home. But duty called, and made heard within them that impelling voice which cries, '' I am and therefore I must," and leads straight on\\ ard to the high resolve, " I must and therefore I will."

And that is why we are not here to-day as mourners, through grief may be very near indeed to many of us.

I will not speak of nearer ties than those beautiful bonds of friendship with which school life knits young hearts together. For many a year to come the thought of the old school days will bring a sigh to many hearts ; the longing for The touch of a vanished hand, The sound of a voice that is still.

Two have been together in studies, in games, in the glorious days of freedom on the river and at the camp.

One has been taken and the other left. The scar of this sharp sundering must remain; but surely the sting of it shall always bring the thought of thankfulness that the friend whom death met so early, it met upon the path of duty bravely done.

Humbly we will thank our God for these beautiful young lives.

Into His hands we will commend their souls, as into the hands of a faithful Creator and most merciful Saviour ; most humbly beseeching Him that whatsoever defilements of sin they may have contracted through the lusts of the flesh or the wiles of Satan, being purged and done away in the Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord, they may be presented pure and without spot before Hun. W e are proud of our dead; that they died true to every good tradition of race and name. In this place, no doubt, will be raised in proper time a lasting memorial of them that shall make their names examples for generations yet to

Dec.'15

T H E CORIAN

come. We are proud of our dead. This is our first memorial of our dead, beloved : thanksgiving and prayer. \ Neither will we forget to-day those others for whom we are ever praying ; some of them in pain of wounds, or weariness of sickne.-ip; some of them, most of them, still untouched in the midst of their many and great dangers. They too have seen the vision of duty, and have followed its star.

By what they have done we know what they will do without flinching whenever duty shall call them. And we can help them.

Let them know that the School does not forget, and especially that the School does not forget when it meets here for prayer.

Here is our mount of God, where we can and we will hold up hands in intercession while they fight in the valley. We are proud of those who are still fighting for the honour of their race.

In the beginning of life they have earned for themselves names upon the roll of honour in the smaller world of school ; and now they are showing that that which they learnt in the mimic battles of boyhood they learnt well. Our sons, our brothers, our schoolfellows, let us show \J\XV pride in them by helping them with our unceasing prayers.

Some of you are looking forward over the few weeks which remain to you of your school days, to the time when you, too, will be able to follow the vision of duty which you have seen, and go out to give, if need be. your lives for King and country, and for all that of freedom, and of truth and of righteousness which makes both King and country dear to you. 9 To you, too, I say the School will not forget you as you follow your vision.

Do not you forget our gathering here to-day, and tell those others how that we remember, and that our first ser-uce in this place was of prayer for them, and of prayer and thanksgiving for their fallen comrades.

Following your vision of- duty, never forget that there is a higher call than that of country ; there is a bravei uniform than that of King.

You are signed with the sign of the Cross in token that you shall manfully fight under Christ's banner, and be His faithful soldiers and servants unto your life's end. See the vision that comes from Him, and

26

T H E CORIAN

Dec'15

follow that : the vision of honour and truth and clean purity : the vision that will make you to fear no man and reverence every woman : that will put you on Christ's side and send vou fearless into battle, so that should death meet you there, H e will carry you to that vast beyond without one regret for any wrong done by you upon earth, which you have had no time to put right. My dear young brothers, there is no lovelier picture in all the beautiful literature of chivalry than that of the white knight of Christ, " whose strength was as the strength of ten, because his heart was pure." W e shall be proud of you, too : but proudest of all as we know that you have followed the vision, and done your duty as brave soldiers of your King and as Christian gentlemen.

And, lastly, to those of you who have yet many days cf school life to look forward to.

Perhaps you will not have grown to manhood when this call to arms has ceased to sound. I t has summoned some whom ycu have known here : many whose names are familiar to you, the names of school heroes of bygone days. I t may never come to you. But life should offer to you loftier aims and higher ambitions, because you have lived your young days under the shadow of the Great War. You have seen others give up all at the call of duty. You have read with thrills of pride of the great brave deeds which they have done. You wish that somehow time could be shortened, so that you, too, could go and show that you are worthy of those, your elder brothers. Let me show yon, too, a higher thing. For for you, too, is the promise, ' Your young men shall see visions."

Let this your Chapel be the very centre of your school life. Come here to seek the vision of the fair, white Christ, to see the noble beauties of life which H e will show you.

Take Him, the" most beautiful Friend that ever was, into your lives of every day. Be boys, boys all through, while boyhood lasts. But don't be ashamed to try, and to pray that you may try, to be Christ's boys.

There is nothing higher than that ; there is no surer preparation for a life of true greatness than that. You look out from your youth with wondering eyes upon that mysterious future which lies

Dec.115

T H E CORIAN

27

before you.

Ytou wonder what it contains for you.

In all your visions see that Christ is there, the central figure of all, throwing the light of His love and His purity and His goodness upon all.

Then, whether war shall call you in your turn, or whether all your life shall be spent in the Great Peace for which we are striving and praying now, you shall show yourselves worth} brothers, schoolfellows, successors of those for whom we are making memorial before God to-day ; whose names shall never be forgotten in this place which we have consecrated to the service of our God and our dear Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Imperial March (Elgar) ; Verset (Dubois); Two Bourrees (Handel); Larghetto in F sharp minor (S. S Wesley); Andante and Allegro (F. E. Bache).

A number of valuable and highly appreciated gifts have been made to the Chapel.

Messrs • F.B.S., O.R., N.F., R.S., and L. S. Falkiner gave £5000, which has provided the four bays of the building out of the nine (or ten) which are contemplated by the completed design.

Mrs. F. S. Falkiner also gave £500, which has been expended on the blackwood seats now in position in the Chapel.

The beautiful Organ belonged to the late Mr. Niel Walter Black, of Daivui, and is presented as a memorial of him, by his brother?, Messrs. Archibald John and Steuart Gladstone Black, who have also presented the Organ Case and the Electric Motor, and have defrayed all the expenses of erection.

The instrument is by Messrs. Hill, of London, and is three manual, with concave radiating pedal-board, according to the specification of the Royal College of Organists, twenty-six speaking stops, and is fitted with pneumatic action throughout.

The Altar, in remarkably beautiful carved blackwood, is the gift of Ian S. Black, and the Sanctuary Chair is presented by Donald C. Black. These two brothers are present members of the School.

The Dossal and Curtains are presented by Mrs. A. J. Black.

Communion Vessels and Linen are given by Mrs. E. H. Austin, in memory of her son, Rex Arthur Austin; Altar Linen by Mr. F. R. Pincott, Miss Edith Pincott, and Mrs. W. H. Pincott; Altar Cross and Vases by Mrs. Percy Chiruside, on behalf of her daughter; Sanctuary Carpet by Mr. A. G. White ; Alms Dish by Mr. F. R. Pincott; Alms Bags by Mrs. A. F.

by Mrs. F. E. Brown; Credence Table by Mrs. Drought and Capt. C. F. Drought; a Lectern by the present boys; and other gifts have been made by Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Cunningham and Mrs. Dickinson.

Two sets of Service Books have been presented, one by the Rev. F. W. R. Newton, and the other by His

Grace the Archbishop of Melbourne.

The latter is an edition issued by the Oxford Press, and represents an attempt to reproduce the edition of 1662—the first edition which followed the Act of Uniformity of that year—and is printed from type which was obtained for the Oxford Press by Bishop John Fell, in 1660.

The sum of £180 comes from Old Boys in English Public Schools, and is intended to defray the cost of a Stained Glass Window at the East End. A Prayer Desk, to be placed before the Sanctuary Chair, is a gift rrom the boys of the Church of England Grammar School, Melbourne, and is one which we appreciate very highly, evincing as it does the interest taken in» an important event in our history and the goodwill felt towards us by the members of our sister school.

The present boys of the School, as a mark of the honour in which they hold their Chapel, have generously subscribed more than £ 4 0 to promote a Lectern.

Four Memorial Brasses, to J. L. Cuthbertson; to P. W. Cooke; to H. E. Austin; and to N. L. Calvert and W. Skene, who were killed in the last South African war, have found a permanent place in the Chapel. . A Brass in memory of Rex Arthur Austin will shortly be erected.

A great advance has been made in the rendering of the Chapel services. On the Sunday before the feast of S. Michael and All Angels, in this present term, the first Anthem was rendered, viz., Goss' " O Taste and See," and three weeks later, the first setting of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis was sung, that by Stanford in B flat being the one chosen. On the 3rd Sunday in Advent a number of carols were sung after Evensong.

Much has been done in the matter of improvement of the style of singing and in other ways, and, with a large junior school upon which to draw for trebles, and with the growth of knowledge of and love for music, we may look forward to the time when we shall possess a choir which shall be worthy of a large Public School, and which shall make the services the highest and best offering we can render to Almighty God.

It seems proper ho me, on the dedication of the Organ in the Chapel, to the memory of my brother, Niel Walter Black, that I should write a few lines to tell the present " Grammar " boys why it is that .we felt ir to be such a suitable memorial to him.

The best u ay to do this is, I think, to write a short account of his life, with its hopes, which were so seldom fulfilled; and its disappointments, always so cheerfully and uncomplainingly borne. His was one of those trying li\ cs where everything seems to point to an active arc! most probably successful career, but the failure of bodily health disappointed these hopes and compelled him to live a very quiet, retired life, but a far fr<>m useless one. In the comparatively small circle o' all classes with whom his health enabled him to come in close touch, his influence was very great, and invariably for good. His kindly, sympathetic nature, and unmistakable desire to plan how much he could do for others, gave his personality a charm which never failed to impress its influence on all who were brought into close contact with him. In short, he had fully absorbed into his inmost being the' good old maxim that has always been such a true part of the "Grammar " tradition, viz., " That life is to be lived to benefit others, not self."

As a small boy he had always been delicate and required very great care, but it seemed probable, in spite of this, that he might completely grow out of h-s weakness, and eventually become fairly strong.

F or this reason he was not sent to the School when he wsi quite so young as would have been the case had he been more robust. By the time he came to the " Gi ammar " he was fairly wiry and able and keen to g.i out on the bird nesting expeditions in the Spring

term, but he was never strong enough to take any serious part in the major school gamesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;cricket and football.

In the minor games, such as tennis, he showed marked ability, and was keen as mustard on all games he was strong enough to' really play.

Even in those days, when coaching and practising of particular strokes was not given the prominence it now has, he was conspicuous for his patient and determined practice of a weak stroke until he had mastered the proper way to play it. He had always a gTeat dislike to any credit being given for a " fluke."

He not only played the game, but aimed at playing the correct game. After leaving school he, with the rest of the family, went to England, and he stayed th ere for eighteen months, and it was while in England that he first showed that music had any charms frr him. Till then he had not even shown as much attraction for music as is shown by the average boy at school.

From this time onward his passion for music grew continuously in intensity. All kinds of better class music delighted him, but his special love was for organ music, which not only for its intrinsic beauty, but also for its deeply religious associations, appealed to him with special force, and it was a lifelong wish that when he built himself a house, it should contain an organ.

After returning to Australia, he was a year at Ormond College. Till this time he had gradually been gaining health and strength, and I feel sure that the time between his going to the School and his illness at Ormond, was in many ways the happiest part of his life; for that was the only period during which he had had fairly good health and reasonable hope that he would eventually have even better.

He had the bad luck at Ormond to get blood poisoning from a neglected scratch, and though after a hard struggle he survived, he never again enjoyed even moderately good health.

When he was apparently convalescent it was thought that a sea voyage might set him up, and accordingly he went to Cambridge, to F-ir.manuel College.

The change did him a little good, and he stayed out his time and took his degree.

He then returned to Australia, but fresh bodily tioubles kept cropping up and he had simply to give up one thing after another. First one game would be

32

THE CORIAN

Dec'15

given up to make way for another that was less exacting in bodily exertion, and then this in turn would have to be abandoned.

Through it all no word of complaint was ever heard, nor was any trace of sourmg of disposition ever discernable, and this not at all because he did not care for games; having to give them up was to him a really great and much felt loss.

Tt was then that Ms love for music was of such value to him, but at times the effort of playing, or even of l'.-.tening to music, was too exhausting.

After many years of suffering he seemed to be gaining a modicum of strength, and it was at this time that he started to build a house for himself.

The central feature that dominated the whole plan was the organ and organ chamber.

At length, when the house was built and the organ almost in place, he made up his mind to run over to England for a few months before settling down in his new home, and only delayed his sailing till the erection of the organ was completed and he had satisfied himself that all was right. This it was that determined his sailing in the ill-fated " Waratah." It will thus be seen that this organ was the one central and controlling factor, not only of his life, but in his death, and it seemed to us that no memorial was so truly a memorial of him as this organ, and no place was so suitable in which to place it as his old school, where some of his happiest days had been passed, and which was rising anew in new surroundings, but with all its old traditions intact and, perhaps, even strengthened, by having passed through the fire of removal from time-honoured associations, and where its voice may help to lead future generations of his school fellows to the same true love for sweet and holy things which meant so much to him.

I cannot conclude these few lines without saying just one word about my elder brother, Archibald John Black. He was the one of us who was most closely identified with the School, and whose sons are also now with you. I wish it to be remembered that this organ, our memorial to our brother, was given to the School in his lifetime, and is the last gift in which he himself had an actual part in showing his loyalty to his old school.

Scbool Sports.

The Sports were held on Friday afternoon, October 15th, under very depressing conditions. There was a si rong cold wind blowing from the west and several squalls of rain made it unpleasant for spectators as well as competitors. The wind blew across the 100 yards course, but was dead in the teeth of the runners coming up the straight, so that times were rather poor.

Difficulty had been experienced in getting the tracks ready, as after the football the ground was very lumpy and iron hard. This was overcome by a top-dressing, which provided excellent running, though a trifle loose.

The fields were large, especially in the fancy races, whilst the handicapping was very successful, only one event providing a run-away win.

There were several innovations, of which the Junior House Competition against the rest of the School under 14 was a distinct success.

Several alterations were made in the Junior races to fit in with this competition and to keep pace with the increasing number of junior boys in the School. The bicycle race was omitted, and in its place a slow bicycle race held.

This drew the largest field of the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;there were seven heats with ten riders in eachâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and provided much amusement. It would be a good thing in future years to have lliis race and the others <rf a like nature nearer the spectators, as they were hidden this year by the number of competitors waiting their torn and crowding inside the ropes.

W. S. Kelly won the Challenge Cup with 16 l=-3 points ; C. R. Botterill was second with 12 points, and A. R. Wilkins third with 8 points. The Uiider 16 Cup was won by J. C. FitzNead, and the Under 14 Cup

by C. R. Speeding, who showed very promising form in the sprints.

The House Competition was pretty close, and late on in the afternoon only one point separated Manifold

and Perry, but then Manifold House scored and won by 56 1-3 points to 49 points.

The Rest of the School beat the Junior House by one point.

One Mile—1, A. R. Wilkins; 2, H. N. Powers; 3, W. S. Lindsay. There were 18 starters, but the pace of the first two laps soon spread out the field, and only five finished the whole distance.

Powers was in front at the end of the first lap, and continued to make the pace till well round the last lap. Here Wilkins, who was lying third, came up strongly, r.nd passed Lindsay. A great race ensued along the top stretch, but Wilkins' pace told, and he reached home a winner by 15 yards in good time. W. Kelly was fourth, and R. P. Lindsay fifth. Time, 4mins. 48 4-Ssecs.

Half Mile—1, H. N. Powers; 2, A. R. Wilkins; 3, W. S. Kelly. This was another great race; Powers made the pace again until about 200 yards from home, where Wilkins challenged him.

There was nothing in it all down the straight, but Powers came again in the last 10 yards, when he appeared beaten, and won by inches.

Time—2 mins. 10 1-5 sees.

440 Yards—1, W. S. Kelly; 2, A. R. Wilkins; 3, C. R. Botterill.

There was a struggle for inside position between Botterill and Kelly, until Kelly went away with a comfortable lead. Wilk'.ns tackled him in the straight but Kelly's length of leg stood him in good stead, and he just managed to keep in front. Time—58 3-5 sees.

220 Yards—1, C. R. Botterill; 2, W. S. Kelly; 3, A. C. Ronald.

This was a great race between the first two, Botterill's dash bringing him home first. Time—25 2-5 sees.

XHniteb public Schools' Sports.

The United Public Schools' Sports were held in Melbourne on Friday, 29th October, at the M.C.C. The conditions were beautiful, and after the unpropitious weather we had been experiencing, it was indeed lucky to have such a good day. A very large crowd was present.

Scotch College won the Cup for the fourth consecutive time; they were extremely strong all round and won with ease, in spite of the fact that Melbourne Grammar School, who were second, had a team distinctly above the average.

One record was broken—The 100 Yards under 14, which W. S. Woodside (M.G.S.) covered in 11 3-Ssecs.

C. R. Speeding ran well for second place in this race, although he showed too much eagerness to get off well at the start.

The Mile produced a great finish, five yards covering the first three men. A. R. Wilkins made the pace at first, but during the second lap W. E. Macmillan (G.C.) went away strongly.

Wilkins closed up at the finish but could not quite catch his man, and H. I..

Davis (S.C.), who had been lying last, came up with magnificent dash and won on the post.

The Half-Mile was another fine race, W . E. Macmillan again cut out the pace and this time managed to keep just ahead of the next three runners.

H. N. l o w e r s , who was fourth, thought he saw enough room to get through on the inside of Davis. H e finished second, but had unfortunately bumped J. W . Adams (W.C.) and was necessarily disqualified.

It was a pity that such a decision should have to be made, and should be a reminder to the runners that they must pass on the outside of the man they are challenging or take the consequences. Unfortunately we lost our points for this race and so finished last to Geelong College by one point in the totals for the day.

J. W. Adams (W.C.) ran well in the 440 Yards and got very near record with 51 7-10 sees. It was a

HOLDER.

Dec.'15

This year we divide the Premiership in cricket with Melbourne Grammar School and Scotch College.

Each of the three schools has been beaten once.

This term we lost our two chief bowlers, C. McK. Lloyd (who left at Midwinter) and W . S. Kelly (who is now over age). Besides, we lost the services of our fast bowler Shannon, in both public school matches (owing to influenza), and of T. C. Manifold against Melbourne Grammar School (owing to a sprained foot). In addition, G. Maslin, who was to have been tried as a change bowler, was invalided home after influenza and lost his chance, and our Captain, C. R. Botterill, was only able to play by nursing his leg carefully for a fortnight, thus losing nearly all his practice. However, in spite of this bad luck we won both our matches handsomely, beating Melbourne Grammar School by an innings, and Wesley by ten wickets. The eleven are to be congratulated upon their success. It was well deserved, for it was th? result of good all round play.

The fielding (both ground fielding and catching) was excellent.

The batting on the whole was good, and the bowling, notwithstanding our losses, a great deal better than we expected. N. F. Armytage bowled excellently, taking six wickets in each of the two matches, and Bailey, who has greatly improved, and varies his pace with good effect, took four in each match. C. Gellion, who was tried for the first time as a fast bowler, on the whole kept a good length and took six of Wesley's wickets. Bailey's batting has been very good.

If he will only use a little more restraint and not try to force the runs too soon, he will do still better.

J. Affleck's batting has improved immensely. He played two fine innings for 60 and 50.

Against Wesley Fisken also played fine cricket for 50.

T. FitzNead, our youngest colt, distinguished himself by winning his colours in his first match. H e made 48 not out against Melbourne (in a century partnership)

THE CORIAN

Like a monstrous bird Overseas thou comest ; Melodies unheard Through the heavens thou hummest, And bombing still dost soar, and soaring ever bombest O'er thy bloated carcass Plays the silver beam, Where, in azure dark, as In a nightmare dream, [ I deem.

Thy crew are swung and wish themselves elsewhere, Forth from many a tile (hark !)

Boom the happy guns, Having quite a sky-lark Blazing at the Huns, With now a decent shot, and now some rotten ones.

Didst thou look for panic, Counting on a scare Caused by that Titanic Sausage up in air ?

Then let me tell thee, London hasn't turned a hair.

Calm she gazed with such eyes On the scene as though Watching cocoanut-shies Or a comet-show Or pyrotechnics done by Messrs. Brock and Co. Saw the last red light out, And, with jaunty tread, After half a night out Struck for home and bed And on the usual pillow laid the usual head.

From '' London Punch '' Hail to thee, high-flier, W h o with generous heart Pourcst out thy fire Over earth's dim chart In sundry spasms of well premeditated art !

With the morrow's dawning Rose, and all serene, Turned—a little yawning— To the day's routine.

And went about her work as if thou hadst not been.

Xetters & Botes from the War Gallipoli, Oct. 25th., 1915.

I am writing this letter in the firing line with the Turks' trenches not two hundred yards away and every now and then you hear a bullet go thud into the sand-bags, or else a metallic ring which signifies that another periscope has been broken.

Occasionally a shell whistles overhead on its way to the beach.

So far this particular line of trenches has been left almost alone by the Turkish artillery, but now- and again our support trenches are heavily shelled, and then its a case of getting as far into your dug-outs as possible.

W e have only been in these particular trenches for about a month, but in the first lot of. trenches we were in we got two very hot.lots of shell fire. I can tell you it is not the nicest sensation in the world, although you don't seem t o worry very much while the shelling is going on. The reaction is worse than the realisation, and you wouldn't like t o repeat the dose if you could help it.

W e have been here for exactly five months, having landed here on May 24th, of course without our horses. W e saw the Triumph sunk the second day we were here, a sad and never-to-be-forgotten sight, and yet as a spectacle it was brilliant. W e saw the destroyers and pinnaces going to her aid and she was defiant to the last as she was firing until she turned completely over.

When we left Australia there were eight O.G.G's. with this Regiment, b u t Jack Jackson, a son of Dr. Jackson, of Brisbane, left us in Egypt t o join t h e Field Ambulance. John Webster also left us t o get a Commission in Kitchener's Army. I haven't heard of either of them since I landed on the Peninsula. Of

the others, Jack Parkin went away sick about three weeks ;.go and we haven't heard of him since. (Garnet Eucas got wounded just above the right eye and nearly lost his eye, but I believe he is convalescent and is in England). Charlie Armytage got fever and went away about ten weeks ago. The last we heard of him was that he was convalescent and just about to sail for England.

Clive Armytage went away sick about a fortnight ago and we haven't heard how he is getting on. Bob Allen went away sick about two months ago, and was taken to Malta, where he appears to have been treated very well and arrived back here this morning, looking very healthy and clean.

I am the only other O.G.G. in the Regiment and have lasted the lot of them out. 1 am feeling very fit; was only off duty for four days when I had a slight touch of dysentery, but since then I have been splendid.

I hear that there are quite a lot of the fellows who are at school now who intend to join the Army as soon as they leave school at the end of the year.

Personally I think they are making a great mistake as they are all too young to stand the strain of war here. A lot of men have gone away sick from this Regiment, and invariably it has been the youngest members of each draft of reinforcements who have gone first.

Personally, I think all men under the age of twentyone who want to volunteer should be put at making munitions or some other war work until they reach that age.

Floriana Hospital, Valetta, Malta, Aug. 26th, 1915.

By the way, the 2nd Brigade's trip to Helles is worth idling you about. We went there one night ']!• a mine-sweeper for a holiday. W e thought it was a holiday, though we faced more bullets there than I ever thought a man could get through. Well, we camped there on the green grass (there's no grass at Gaba Tepe), and for the first time since we landed

Dec'15

T H E CORIAN

we were out of the range of rifle-fire. That was made up for though by shell such as we had not seen before, big high-explosive shrapnel that went off with an awful sound. It used to make me feel very funny for some time. Our holiday soon came to an end. But really in spite of the shells that were always falling 1 for my part really enjoyed it. The country would make anyone's heart glad. It would be worth £ 2 5 an acre, that is under Australian conditions.

We were marched off in the direction of Achi Baba, and began to have suspicions that there was something doing. We dug in when we got to a place where there were only a few stray bullets—one hit a stick 1 was just going to pick up for the fire.

Towards evening we moved, and crossed all the trenches we came to. We began to wonder what was up. When we crossed the firing line we realised that we were making an advance against Achi Baba. The bullets and machine guns were something terrible, but thank goodness there was not much shrapnel. It was dark by this time, and I could just see poor old Archer go down ; he was running right beside me.

I thought he was killed, but he was only badly wounded. We went on five hundred yards in advance of the firing-line, and then the same old game—dig in.

We had to stop at times and lie down, the fire was so hot.

Anyway, it was good ground, and we soon made a comfortable trench. We had wells in it, which no doubt saved some lives of men going for water.

We had a very quiet time in those trenches, and after four days were relieved and went back to our grassy camp, but only for a day or so. W;e then went back to our old position at Anzac. It was there that I was promoted from L. -Corporal to Sergeant.

I did not do much, to my way of thinking, except what any private should do.

F.R. has contributed to the " Corian " a very true description of life in billets in France behind the line,

T H E CORIAN

When we first went over, we were kept in similar places our days filled with route marches, physical drill, bayonet exercise, etc. At last, our real education commenced. We were told oft" by companies to corresponding companies of a famous Scotch regiment, to join them in the trenches, and share their bombs and bully, their digging and sniping, for 48 hours. In two days and two nights a miracle happened - -a thousand miners and potters became soldiers. lTntil then the German was a more or less unpleasant person, who lived in the trenches opposite. With our first casualties the men developed a personal dislike for Fritz, which improved their fighting value 100 per cent. From that time forward I knew the " North Stiffs," as they call themselves, were all right.

A few days rest and at last we became true members of the B.E.F., and were entrusted with a trench of our own. O.G.G.'s who know the line will agree when I say that the Canadian Orchard was a stiff, proposition for fresh troops, but we stopped there eleven days.

It completed our education.

We learned to distinguish pip-squeaks from rifle-grenades, whiz-bangs from 4.2 Hows., minenwerfers from just bombs. Thereafter we adopted the usual routine of British infantry in Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;anything from four days to three weeks in the trenches, a few days in support, and every now and then a week in rest billets. Everyâ&#x20AC;˘bne prefers trenches to being in support. Here you live in billets, if any are available. They usually consist of a ruinous and totally inadequate barn for the men, and the tiled floor of a half-destroyed (by shell) cottage for the officers. Sometimes you are lucky, and you refer to places weeks afterwards as the place where I had a bed. The days are spent in kit-inspections, route marches, etc., and the nights in a form of amusement known as digging parties. The Engineers plan and supervise all trench-making, and the regiments in support do the work. It often means marching three to five miles to a given spot, arriving after dark, reporting to a Sapper officer, who explains the work, then pick and shovel for from four to six hours, generally under fire, and then home for breakfast.

The French people, generally speaking, are very good to us.

Tommy makes his wants known in some mysterious fashion: he is very contemptuous of anyone who doesn't speak English, while scorning to attempt French.

I am afraid I have given you a very poor impression of life in France. W e have such a lot of real fun between times. It is never monotonous, something is happening or going to happen all the time. I can endorse all D. D. P. says about the R.A.M.C. arrangements. I managed to get in the way of a rifle grenade during the battle of La Bassee, and had a wonderfully comfortable trip home.

Hospital, trains, boats, all were equally good. A few days at Osborne, and I found myself free; three weeks sick leave. At Osborne I met a lot of wounded English officers from Gallipoli, and for the first time really appreciated what the Australians were doing. These men talked of nothing but the Australians and their deeds, and freely acknowledged that they are the best tioops in the world. This from Englishmen is praise indeed, and a consolation to their countrymen in France. p . B. P .

Belgium, October, 1915.

Just a line to let you know all goes well with me.

Things are very dull here, and one might suppose that there was perfect peace in Belgium. By listening carefully you can hear the attack going on about La Bassge, but that is all. W e have been having truly marvellous weather, and although here we are in the middle of October it is quite warm, and one can go about in a shirt and pair of slacks without feeling in the least cold. I have just come down from four days in our Observation Post, which is a fine one, well up on the top of a hill, and am slacking about at our waggon lines recuperating. I get up at about

This morning we have the Vet. round to look at one of our heavy draughts with a big bit of shrapnell shell in the shoulder. Broken bones, and a poor chance of recovery, are his share of the war.

I was home on leave a few weeks ago, and had quite a good time. W e are lucky in the Heavies, and get leave more or less regularly about every three months.

As I was driving through the town to catch my train who should appear but C. F. Drought, a captain who was just in front of us in the trenches at the time.

I didn't recognise him for about a minute, as he had changed quite a lot since I saw him last. On leave I saw G. A. .Fairbairn, who looks much better, and the latest arrivals, the two Manifolds, Alan Bell, S. McCaughey, and Sanger—all looking very smart in new uniforms, and all in an R.F.A. Reserve Brigade.

They went off to join the unit the day I came back.

Belgium, 23rd Oct., 1915.

Our Battalion has been in this country now three months, and we have had our baptism of fire", have been initiated into trench life, and have served our apprenticeship at it. We, with the rest of our Division, are now pulled back well behind the line for a short rest. W e are in billets, and wait orders to move off " somewhere " at any time : for just now there is this " p r e s s " on. W h a t the result will be we know not, but just now things seem fairly ferocious here W e can only hazard a guess as to pur destination.

W e have we think an inkling. At all events, we are being fattened up, and there is usually another process which follows the fattening period, which holds as gopd here as it holds and applies to geese or sheep.

In our periods of rest we sometimes get on our horses and ride to some town which has not been too much bashed about for shopkeepers to remain, and for civilians to stay, for hotels to remain open, and banks and cafes, and perhaps even stations and railway trains. I t was in one such place that I was walking not very long ago along the pave street, when I saw a familiar face. Its owner turned out to be Alec.

Russell, just off to England on a few days leave. He was going to meet the Bells, McCaughey, and others.

He was riding in an officers' mess cart with his kit, and looked very fit and happy.

I have not seen any others I know out here; for, of course, we hold a biggish front now, so regiments are not within easy reach of one another, and my own countrymen are not here as you know, except a couple of Divisional Ammunition Columns I have come across. I had a yarn to one stalwart in a town not long ago, who came from Gippsland.

It is sad to see the names of those one knew at school figuring as casualties in the ' Corian." Still it. is the inevitable price of war, and there will be many more before the thing is over.

W e only wish we could get on open country to fight 'em.

Trench warfare does not suit us, but for the present we must stick it, I suppose, unless anything comes of this present move. I think myself just now we are at a sort of crisis !n this great war, the result of which you will probably know by the time you —*• this rambling screed.

W e quietly crept up to Gallipoli at about 11 o'clock—there was some shelling and rifle fire going on, and in fact a small pinnace was sunk just before we reached the jetty. It was quite interesting to hear the " plunk " of

stray bullets into the water, and exciting to see the now famous hills of Anzac Cove looming up through the darkness. Our barge was crowded with troops, but we all got ashore without mishap. The whole of the main beach can be reached by shrapnel shell from either end, and the Turks indulged in this at regular intervals, and yet all the routine of Headquarters, Army Service and Post Office, go on as usual.

We were met and conducted about a mile to the left, along a wide sap or communication trench, and camped the night at the N.Z. Field Ambulance.

4/8/1915—Before breakfast we went back a little and inspected the old camp of our Corps, before they returned to Lemnos. On our return, Captain invited us to breakfast with Major , and he told me that we were attached to the 4th Infantry Brigade, and to report there. In Reserve Gully, we were allotted a small company space and proceeded to " dig ourselves in." I was lucky to get a good deep dug out (much like a grave). Everyone has to seek such protection, as at any time the shelling .may commence, when you have to lie low to be secure.

We were pretty busy that day, settling down, arranging for rations and so on.

5/8/15—I was down at the main beach (three-quarters of a mile away) arranging about transport of our medical gear to our present camp—some shelling was going on. Very noisy all night up in the trenches on the ridges—rifle and machine gun fire crackling away.

The machine gun is very much like the sound of a motor cycle without a silencer. A howitzer battery was just below us and used nearly to blow our heads off with the noise and concussion. At night, too, a couple of torpedo boat destroyers used regularly to shell the ridges above, and generally add to the din.

It is wonderful how used you become to all this racket and it is not long before you can distinguish the various shells, as the 14 pounders, whose whistle generally warns you; but a 75 Schneider, that the Turks have, bursts without any warning whatsoever.

6/8/15—This was the day of the great advance. .At 2 p.m. O.C's. of Medical Units met the A.D.M.S. at

N.Z. Field Ambulance and had the operation orders and map explained. I returned soon after 3 p.m. to our own dug outs to prepare for the night march out.

Just then one of the fiercest shelling and bombardments of our valley by the Turks commenced.

Our gully was simply teeming with troops of all kinds, and there were many killed and injured that afternoon.

It kept going continuously for quite three hours, and at least 50 shells (141b. shrapnel and high explosive 75 Schneiders) were bursting an hour all over us, and particularly in the area where our unit was, i.e., 100 x 50 yards. We had to keep very quiet in our holes, though occasionally we dashed out to visit one or another about some arrangements. W e were to move out at daybreak, but at 9.30 p.m., were ordered to move out behind the brigade, the head of which was starting at 9.35 p.m. We prepared immediately and moved out behind the 16th Regiment shortly after 10 p.m.We advanced to the L. along the beach and a most erie night march it was, with rifle bullets flying overhead into the sea, and occasionally a casualty was met with. In about an hour we got into touch with the Turks, and our chaps cheering would charge blindly into the darkness whenever a rifle flare was seen. The result was the foe was rapidly pushed on.

About this time one of our bearers was wounded in the thigh. I dressed him and returned him to the rear by stretcher. Up narrow gullies and through thistle covered stretches we advanced, constantly hearing rifle fire and cheering at different parts. Meanwhile the destroyers were bombarding right over our heads.

Altogether it was a most stirring time. We halted near Bde. Head Quarters' Staff. At one time it was most amusing to see a party of Ghurkas come charging up and scattering these dignatories haphazard.

When day broke we were right up with the 16th Battalion (as ordered).

The bearers of 4th Field Ambulance were at the start behind us, but they got lost, and didn't come up to us till nearly two days later, so that our bearers with fifteen stretchers had to cater for the brigade at the firing line, keeping in close touch with the regimental stretcher bearers.

When day broke we were at the top of a high ridge,

86

T H E CORIAN

Dec'75

with the 16th Regiment spread out and pumping out lead for'all they were worth. Men were falling all around, as a heavy fire was being returned. Noticing a small steep gully on our right, we descended this and formed an advanced dressing station there—(6.30 a.m.)—wounded came along in numbers, and we were v cry busy for the next hour and a half dressing them, and then sending them back. Ghurkas, Australians, and Turks were attended to. W e were exposed to a heavy fire from three sides, and the familiar whistle was everywhere, with the dust flying up. Fortunately we were too busy to worry. At this moment another of our bearers was shot just below the heart, and died soon after, and yet another was grazed in the leg. On our right was the main gully leading down to the beach, and also practically straight across the Peninsula. It was interesting to see the Ghurkas, splendid tough little chaps, opening out and charging up the gully; at other times three or four would surfound a dense bit of scrub after a sniper, just like terriers after a rat. The country is very hilly, with deep gullies running though, the whole densely covered with low prickly shrubs and thick bush. • I t is splendid country for Australians to work and fight in, and justly they deserve their great name and reputation for dash and brilliant fighting and individual bravery. They sweep everything before them. Everywhere dead Turks were lying, and clothing and packs scattered about were abundant evidence of their surprise and hasty flight. • W e came across several abandoned gun pits, notably some, that had hidden the guns that used to rake the beach so annoyingly and persistently.

About 8 a.m. we emptied this dressing station of wounded. I looked round for a more suitable and sheltered spot and eventually decided to retire a couple of hundred yards down the valley, where we lay down exhausted under the shade of some trees. After about half an hour here a couple of snipers had got on to us, and " p i n g , " " p i n g , " the bullets were flitting between us. At first we were too lazy to move, but it soon became too jolly hot, and so reluctantly we left the shade and moved down to a quieter spot. It felt about 5 p:m. now, but our watches only showed 10 a.m. Later we had some

lunch and moved round into another gully after wounded, when we evacuated towards the rear.

Here we got into touch with Headquarters again, and we both camped here. Had to stand to arms during a night attack, and so passed Saturday, August 7th, 1915, one of the most thrilling and eventful days of a lifetime !

8/8/15.—We continued forward and got into another gully where most of the brigade were occupying the various ridges and were busy treating wounded. Unfortunately the previous morning we lost another bearer, killed by shrapnel, and three others wounded, one very seriously—all such good chaps tco ! I can't say too much of the magnificent work and splendid devotion of the stretcher bearers. Ours behaved splendidly and did grand continuous work right throughout, but we were all glad to rest that night.

On Sunday we moved across and camped in the gully of Rere, were we now are, and we have the brigade holding this position. W e are about three hundred yards behind our own trenches, and in some instances they are only fifty yards from the Turks, so you can imagine it is pretty lively at times, what with the noise of rifles, big gun fire, and shell shrieking to and fro. W e are fairly well sheltered where we are now, and seem to have found a nice safe spot.

Our brigade have become well entrenched, and we are now waiting for various other units to come up into line, when we trust a general advance will be made for " our objective " fairly near by.

9/8/15.—Not very eventful. I went up to trenches on neighbouring ridges, and had a splendid view of the whole battle ground. T h e view down the gullies seaward was grand—warships, transports, hospital ships, torpedo-boat destroyers, an observation balloon aeroplanes, all were very busy carrying out their own special duties.

11/8/15—The C O . arrived, and later on in the afternoon the rest of our tent division, so that we have

88

THE CORIAN

Dec.'15

now opened up a dressing station, where we can receive and treat patients before sending them to the beach where they are embarked on the Hospital ships and sent back, either to Lemnos, Egypt or Malta.

Since then our life here, in comparison with the first few days, has been quiet and uneventful.

W e have advanced about 2-3 miles inland and hold a good strong position, and we hope it will not be long now before we get to it again.

15/8/15â&#x20AC;&#x201D;The last three nights have been quite important, as with the C O . I've stalked down to the beach and had a glorious wash and bathe in the sea, the first good wash for eight or nine days. We only have the clothes we came in on. W e have a fresh water wash daily in about 2ozs. of water, and to-day I shaved for the first time in ten days. No blankets are necessary, so we just sleep in our clothes. Breakfast, 7.30: Bulli beef, biscuit, jam, tea, milk and sugar; same for other meals, only dishes are occasionally cooked with wild thyme used, and so made a little attractive. It is an excellent change for these trenchweary, tired and jaded Australians, setting out into spell and rest. I think they're looking much better already. When the next fight commences, Cave and I will go forward again with the bearers, whilst the C O . and Jock will look after the dressing station.

The weather is pleasantly warm and sunny during the day, but after quite cold at night. We have some straw to lie on, and we cover ourselves with some Turkish waterproofs that we gathered in. Water at first was a great difficulty, but numerous wells have been sunk, so that we have a sufficiency to drink now.

I was indeed lucky to arrive here in time for this big movement and take part in what we .hope will be the turning point in this obstinate campaign.

On Wednesday, 11th., we were overjoyed at getting our Australian mail, dated June 20th and 30th.

I t is funny to be getting letters and "Australasians " and so on out here. I'v,e kept a diary since we went out from Anzac in case there was no chance of letter writing.

Two nights ago when we were bathing we had a fine view of a sharp engagement towards our right

Dec'15

THE CORIAN

89

Bombs were bursting, rifle shots flashing and occasional star shells and flares would lighten up the scene.

All the artillery fire is by indirect observation, but the naval guns occasionally manage to get in some direct fire in the way that they are trained to, and in parts the slaughter and havoc wrought are terrific.

I t is just a fortnight ago since I landed on the Peninsula, and I think that is has been the most thrilling and exciting and eventful two weeks that I've ever had.

I cannot send any important details or numbers of troops and so on, but long ago you will have received them by cable. Everyone, British, French and Indian praise the valour and dash, pluck and steadiness of our brave Australians, trench-weary and stale though they may be, and from one's own observations and daily experience in the firing zone, and again amongst the brave and patient wounded, this praise is more than justified and merited.

17/8/15â&#x20AC;&#x201D;The last two days have been quiet all along on our position. We explored the late Turkish head-quarters the night before last. This camp faces their present entrenchments on the opposite side of the long hill range, which is our objective, so we had to explore it at dusk owing to risk of rifle and machine gun fire. Yesterday afternoon we visited some of the Turkish gun pits and adniired the cleverness and cunning with which they were hidden.

I have taken many snapshots of the stirring scenes around and most of them under fire, so that if I can only get them back safely, they should be. of some interest.

Yesterday and this morning we had porridge and tinned milk for breakfast, and also one fried egg each. I can tell you this was a most important and greatly appreciated change. At present not many wounded are passing through our hands, but there is always a fair number of cases with dysentery trouble, and this perhaps, more than anything else, has helped to diminish the ranks of the Australians in Gallipoli, if only temporarily.

18/8/15â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Nothing further to add except that I forgot to mention that during our first day's fighting some of our good Australian lads came across a deserted farm and in an out-house some bees were swarming. T o get at the honey was the difficulty.

However, without any hesitation our lads donned their gas helmets, and were able to gather the honey without a single sting. This is simply an example of their diiick resource and ready action.

I have received most kind and courteous treatment from our captors. They have shown themselves to be a brave and honourable foe. Do not have the slightest misgivings about my welfare.
