OUR ANZACS

Remembering the forgotten heroes

By Peter McCullough They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old.

Age shall not weary them or the years condemn At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

On every Anzac Day it is customary for these solemn lines, known as “The Ode of Remembrance”, to be recited. Quite often a speaker will then inform the assembly of Australia’s contribution to what was known as The Great War; of how a country of less than five million could put 416,809 men in uniform, over 60,000 of whom were not to return.

Official records state that a further 155,000 were wounded, gassed, or taken prisoner. Recent research by author David Noonan has pointed out, however, that this figure does not include those who were hospitalised through illness or injury; his opinion is that a more realistic figure would be 750,000.

Noonan states that, of the survivors, more than half were discharged as “medically unfit”. Of those not so classified, 60% applied for a pension in the post-war period. So four out of five survivors were damaged in some way.

From his research Noonan has estimated that as many as 62,300 of these survivors died, mainly in

1919 and 1920, and an additional 8,000 would die a premature death due to war-related causes in subsequent years. The figure for 1919-20 included 550 who died by their own hand, and the Depression years also took a heavy toll.

It was the 1930’s which claimed the lives of two of Australia’s bestloved heroes from World War One: Captain Hugo Throssell VC, and Major General Harold “Pompey” Elliott. The piece “The forgotten victims of war” provides an insight into the suffering experienced by the “survivors”. They, too, should be remembered on Anzac Day when we recite “The Ode” as so many of them “grew not old.”

Last year was highlighted by the anniversary of the landings on the Gallipoli Peninsula on 25 April, 1915. What is sometimes overlooked is that on the same day the Australian submarine, the AE2, successfully negotiated its way through the Dardanelles and entered the Sea of Marmara.

Other allied submarines had tried and failed; the AE2 achieved what the British admiral (de Robeck) thought to be impossible. Our story on what has become known as “The Silent Anzac” has special significance for the Mornington Peninsula as one of the crew, Leading Signalman Albert Thomson, subsequently lived in Hast-

ings and is buried in the Tyabb cemetery.

While the AE2 was scuttled with no loss of life, our RAN story from World War Two provided a bleak outcome. The small minesweeper HMAS Goorangai, sliced in half when crossing from Queenscliff to Portsea, was lost with all hands.

Finally, there is the story of Robert Bartlett Bates, perhaps the bravest man listed on the cenotaph at Mornington. He was awarded the Military Medal at Gallipoli (Lone Pine) and on the Western Front (Pozieres) but, unlike the two VC winners featured in this edition (Hugo Throssell and George Ingram), he never picked up a rifle.

This special edition of The News provides a glimpse of a few aspects of Australia’s war history; we think it is important to remember the legacy handed down from the first Anzac Day, 25 April, 1915. As well as the brave volunteers whose graves are scattered across the Gallipoli Peninsula, the Western Front, Palestine and elsewhere, we should also include in our thoughts those men who returned, some of whom were condemned to early deaths and others who were so shattered emotionally that they could never resume the type of life that they had led prior to 1914.

OUR ANZACS

Hastingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; link with the silent Anzac

By Peter McCullough IN a quiet corner of the Tyabb cemetery in Hastings can be found the grave of Leading Signalman Albert Norman Charles Thomson. For decades the grave had no means of identification but about eight years ago a headstone was erected. So much time had elapsed since Thomsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 1922 that an error has occurred and he is identified as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Norman Albertâ&#x20AC;? instead of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Albert Norman.â&#x20AC;? However the line below the name reflects the role that this sailor played in our history: he was a submariner on the AE2 and, subsequently, a prisoner of war in Turkey.

What was the AE2?

HMAS AE2 was one of two submarines ordered by the fledgling Royal Australian Navy. It was built by Vickers Armstrong at Barrow-in-Furness in England and commissioned into the RAN at Portsmouth in February, 1914.

The AE2 had four 18-inch torpedo tubes, one each in the bow and stern, plus two on the broadside, one firing to port and one to starboard. The boat carried one spare torpedo for each tube. No guns were fitted.

Lieutenant Henry H G D Stoker RN had command of the AE2 and it was manned by Royal Navy officers with a crew drawn from both the RN and RAN. Together with her sister submarine, the AE1, the boat then sailed to Australia. The 24,000km voyage was at the time the longest one ever un-

dertaken by a submarine and took 83 days.

At the outbreak of World War I both submarines were assigned to the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force as it captured German New Guinea. While on this assignment the AE1 disappeared without trace and its

whereabouts are still a mystery. After some weeks patrolling around Fiji the AE2 returned to Sydney in November for maintenance and repairs.

With no need for submarines in the Pacific or Indian theatres, the AE2 was towed to the Mediterranean and arrived off Egypt in early 1915. There

the boat was assigned to the Dardanelles campaign, the aim of which was to knock the Ottoman Empire out of the war and open up supply lines to Russia through the Black Sea. Attempts to open the Dardanelles using naval power were unsuccessful with three Allied battleships sunk and an-

other three crippled during a surface attack. A British and a French submarine were also lost.

Despite these setbacks Lieutenant Commander Stoker planned his own attempt. Admiral de Robeck summoned Stoker to his flagship, Queen Elizabeth, and quizzed him as to how he proposed to overcome the hazards of the passage. Satisfied, the admiral said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you succeed, there is no calculating the result it will cause, and it may well be that you will have done more to finish the war than any other act accomplished.â&#x20AC;?

Two hours later Stoker had addressed the crew, stating that he would not think ill of any sailor who wished to withdraw. No one hesitated and all settled down to write what might have been their last letters to their families.

The submarine was provisioned and was soon on its way from Mudros harbour on the island of Lemnos. Into the provisions went a case of vintage port - a sign of Stokerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s optimism for the mission.

In his autobiography â&#x20AC;&#x153;Straws in the Windâ&#x20AC;?, published in 1925, Stoker recalled how, the gravity of their circumstances notwithstanding, there was still ample room for humour when it came to allocating tasks in the capture of Turkeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exotic capital: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The captain of the submarine was immediately to proceed in search of rare and priceless gems. The second officer was to inspect the ladies of the harem, during which process the third officer would engage the chief eunuch

in polite conversation. That the fall of Constantinople did not take place may partly be attributed to the lack of patriotism of the third officer who, it is regrettable to have to record, showed a great distaste for the duty allocated to him.”

Stoker’s confidence proved to be well founded for on 25 April the AE2 was the first submarine to successfully penetrate the waterway and enter the Sea of Marmara. With orders from the admiral’s chief of staff to “generally run amok” inside Turkish territory, the AE2 operated for five days during which time she sank a Turkish cruiser and was a major distraction for the Turkish navy and the on-shore batteries. Mechanical faults eventually forced her to surface where she was damaged by the torpedo boat Sultanhisar.

Meanwhile news of the submarine’s success was spread to the soldiers ashore to improve morale. In fact the landing at Anzac Cove on 25 April had gone so badly that Lieutenant General Birdwood pushed for re-embarkation of his troops. News that the AE2 had successfully negotiated the minefield and entered the Sea of Marmara was thought to be a factor in the decision to persevere with the ground assaults.

It prompted General Sir Ian Hamilton, who commanded the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force during the Gallipoli campaign, to send his famous message to the Australians: “...the Australian submarine has got up through the Narrows and has torpedoed a gunboat ... You have got through the difficult business. Now you have only to dig, dig, dig until you are safe.”

In the Sea of Marmara, with the hull badly damaged, Stoker ordered the boat’s company to evacuate and the

AE2 was scuttled. All crew members survived the attack although four were to die of illness while in captivity.

The AE2’s achievements showed others the task was possible and within months Turkish shipping and lines of communication were badly disrupted, with supplies and reinforcements for the Turkish defence of Gallipoli forced to take underdeveloped overland routes.

The AE2 was the only RAN vessel to be lost as the result of enemy action in World War I and, along with sister

boat AE1, the total of the RAN’s operational losses in the war.

After several years of searching Selcuk Kolay, director of the Rahmi M. Koc Museum in Istanbul, located the submarine in June, 1998 lying in 72 metres of water. Several months later an Australian diving team confirmed the wreck as being the AE2.

The submarine is not a war grave and the Australian government makes no claim to the shipwreck.

In September, 2007 a major marine archaeological expedition which in-

cluded divers, scientists, physicians, filmmakers, photographers, journalists and archaeologists took place under the auspices of Turkish and Australian naval authorities. There were dramatic moments when a small camera was inserted into the submarine and observers were able to see the control room and living quarters.

Notwithstanding a thorough search, no trace could be found of the case of vintage port; perhaps this was just a myth which enhanced the image of the colourful commander. The operation

OUR ANZACS was closely supervised by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buntsâ&#x20AC;?, a two metre long conger eel which had taken up residence in the conning tower. The main objective of the undersea investigation was to determine if the AE2 could be raised and restored. Such a plan would have seen the submarine transferred to a viewing tank at Canakkale. Following the detailed inspection a recommendation was made against raising the wreck. Moving the submarine to a viewing tank, or alternatively relocating the wreck to shallower water, were advised against because of the estimated $80-100 million cost. Moving AE2 would also pose high risk to both the submarine and any vessels involved in the relocation; as well as potentially damaging the wreck there is an unexploded torpedo on board which would have prompted the investigators to suck in through clenched teeth. A subsequent workshop advised that the submarine be preserved through the use of sacrificial anodes to reduce corrosion, along with buoys and a surveillance system to mark the wreck and detect unauthorised access and potential damage. This work has now been carried out.

At a top level meeting of Australian and Turkish representatives held in Istanbul in April, 2015, the Australian delegation formally handed over documentation regarding the AE2 and official ownership of the wreck.

With the publicity surrounding the Gallipoli campaign in its centenary year of 2015, the deeds of Lieutenant Commander Stoker and his crew have also received recognition. In their writings historians and journalists have come to refer to the AE2 as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Silent Anzac.â&#x20AC;?

So who was Leading Signalman Albert Thomson?

Albert Thomson was in fact born in Albury on 24 May, 1888. His mother did not survive the birth of her son and in the mid 1890â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his father returned to Scotland, taking Albert with him. In 1905 he left his job as a painterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant to join the Royal Navy for 12 years service, signing on as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;boy, 2nd class.â&#x20AC;? He trained and qualified as a signalman on the Victory, and served on a number of RN ships, rising to Leading Signalman.

Thomsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role as as leading signalman provided him with the nickname â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buntsâ&#x20AC;? (from naval slang, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bunting Tosserâ&#x20AC;?) and in 1913, possibly because of his Australian roots, he volunteered for service on the new RAN submarine AE2. He was selected as one of the original crew and was officially on loan to the RAN for three years.

Thomson recorded the historic moment of the sinking of the AE2 in a series of graphic sketches which he drew later at prison camps, first at Afion Kara Hissar, then at Belemedik. At the latter, Thomson gained a reputation for stepping into fist fights to help AE2 comrades and by April, 1917 he had been transferred to a remote railway camp, possibly as punishment for fighting. Conditions there were appalling and Thomson and Bill Williams, also from AE2, tried to escape. In his secret diary Australian army corporal George Kerr recounted: â&#x20AC;&#x153;They spent all one Sunday night roaming the mountains until Bill Williams lost heart, to use Buntsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; words, and said it would be advisable to return ...

OUR ANZACS was cut up over Williams’ lack of courage, and says he tried to keep his heart up but all to no purpose.” (Williams, from Dunkeld in Victoria, died in mysterious circumstances while still a prisoner-of-war. He was one of four brothers; all enlisted but none returned.)

Not to be deterred, on 9 July, 1917 Thomson and Gwynne, also an AE2 submariner, made another escape attempt. Kerr wrote: “They set out nearly a month ago and had been gone a fortnight before the man in charge reported them missing. The Turks knew nothing for a long time (because) two men from the night shift (would) take their place for ... counting ... We (then) received news that they had been taken near Adana after having been seen wandering about for three or four days begging bread and water. Everyone believes them to be caught but they have not passed this way yet.”

After this escapade Thomson was returned to Belemedik and there were no further escape attempts recorded.

After his release he returned to London on Christmas Eve, 1918. Despite being very thin, his physical constitution must have been strong for on 25 March, 1919 he re-enlisted for three years: this time with the RAN. These years were spent at shore bases Platypus and Cerberus. In 1920 he was joined by his wife Florence and son John who came out on the Zealandia.

They set up home in Hastings where two more children-Ruby and Normanwere born.

On completion of his three years Thomson saw a business opportunity and obtained a bus, or more correctly a charabanc which may have been uncovered where the driver sat. The vehicle would be used to service the

After surviving against terrible odds, Thomson died tragically on 29 May, 1922 when the bus overturned going around a corner in Hastings near where the Scout Hall is now situated. Apparently a wheel went into loose gravel and the driver was unable to regain control. A number of navy personnel on board were injured but Thomson was the only fatality. He was 34.

To compound the tragedy Norman, the youngest of the three children, was born on the day his father was killed.

John eventually became a fitter and turner and lived in South Melbourne.

He married Bessie and they had two children: John and Patricia. Ruby grew up in Hastings and married local boy, Ken Edwards. They farmed near Hastings and then moved to a Soldier Settlement block at Numurkah. Ruby and Ken had eight children and Ruby, now 95, lives in retirement in East

Florence and Albert had no children but they did adopt a boy, Ron, who had a physical disability. Ron later owned the ice works in Hastings.

link John Thomson, the son of John and grandson of Albert, has been actively involved in the discovery of the wreck and the investigation of the proposal to raise the AE2 from the floor of the Sea of Marmara. Now 70 and living in Geelong, John recently indicated that he was pleased with the decisions made and work carried out by the authorities. One of the highlights of his involvement was seeing his grandfather’s sandshoes neatly stacked in the flag locker in the conning tower. It would not be hard to guess who provided the name “Bunts” for the resident conger eel! It was John, together with Barry Edwards, a son of Ruby, who was responsible for the installation of the tombstone

in the Hastings cemetery. Location of the grave site was difficult and the error with the name is explained by the fact that an alteration was made on the birth certificate creating some confusion. However the man in question was always known as Albert or, more commonly, “Bunts.”

Dacre Stoker: Larger than life Henry Hugh Gordon Dacre Stoker was born in Dublin, Ireland on 2 February, 1885 to Dr. John Stoker and his wife, Jane. The “Dacre” was hastily included in the name when the child’s wealthy godfather threatened to cut him from his will if his existence was not recognised. As it turned out, the godfather ventured to South Africa to

dabble in diamonds and was not heard from again. The godson, however, took a fancy to that name and was generally known as Dacre for the rest of his days. Also of family significance was that the Irish novelist Bram Stoker, who wrote the 1892 Gothic novel “Dracula”, was a cousin.

Although his family included many doctors, at the age of 12 young Dacre decided on a career in the navy and in 1900 he joined the Royal Navy as a 14-year-old cadet. While an average student, Stoker did excel at sport, particularly rugby, hurling, polo and tennis. He competed at Wimbledon several times, winning the doubles one year against a Spanish pair. Stoker played tennis until well into his 70s.

Dacre Stoker was promoted to midshipman (1901) and then sub-lieutenant (1904). After service in the western Atlantic he became interested in in the submarine service - a relatively new branch of the navy. This was at a time when not everyone was in favour.

Admiral Sir Arthur Wilson’s famous comment that they were “underwater, underhand and damned un-English” summed up traditionalist naval suspicion that there was something sinister and sneaky about “submersibles”, as they were then called. Sneaking up on the enemy from behind was just not cricket, old chap. In fact Wilson also sniffed that submariners caught in wartime should be hanged as pirates.

These were the times in the Royal Navy when it was said that “captains spoke only with admirals and admirals spoke only with God”.

Stoker found it difficult to maintain his lifestyle on a Sub-Lieutenant’s pay of five shillings a day; as a submariner he would receive an additional six shillings a day. This was sufficient incentive and he started training in October, 1906. Two months later he was promoted to Lieutenant.

Dacre Stoker was very much a free spirit and reveled in the freedom that the submarine service offered. He was given command of a submarine in January, 1909 and in 1913 he volunteered to serve on loan with the RAN as commanding officer of one of its new submarines. By this time he was infatuated with polo and the reason for his transfer was information that in Sydney there was a rich man who would pay all your expenses if you’d only go and play polo with him. Although the “rich man” never materialised, it marked the beginning of his association with HMAS AE2 which came to a dramatic conclusion with its sinking

on 30 April, 1915.

For the next three and a half years Stoker, who had been promoted to lieutenant commander in December, 1914, was held in the various Turkish prisoner-of-war camps where he used his acting talents to entertain fellow prisoners. In March, 1916 he escaped and was on the run for 18 days before he was recaptured and imprisoned in Constantinople. Stoker was repatriated to England in December, 1918, reverted to Royal Navy service, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order in 1919: “In recognition of his gallantry in making the passage of the Dardanelles in command of HM Australian Submarine AE2 on 25 April, 1915.” Many considered that the Victoria Cross would have been more appropriate as it had been awarded to three other captains of Allied submarines.

Although promoted to commander in 1919, Stoker chose to leave the navy in the following year; he had always been a keen amateur actor and playwright and now pursued his second career. As an actor Stoiker was successful on the stage in both Britain and the United States. He often played the part of a professional such as a military officer or a doctor. By the end of the 1920s Stoker was a regular and popular performer in West End plays and in 1932 started radio broadcasts of short dramatic stories. In 1933 he made his first cinema appearance in the movie “Channel Crossing”. In 1935 he played the part of a naval officer whose ship was sunk in action in World War 1 in the movie “Brown on Resolution.” Overall Stoker appeared in eight films from 1933 through to 1948 and was credited as H G Stoker or Dacre Stoker. His contemporaries included Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir

John Mills. He was also the business manager of the Apollo Theatre. His autobiography “Straws in the Wind”, which was largely about his adventures on the AE2, was published in 1925.

When war broke out in 1939 Stoker was recalled to the Royal Navy. With the rank of acting captain he served in a variety of capacities from being in command of a coastal services base, to public relations officer in the Admiralty, to being involved in the planning for D-Day. He retired again in late 1945 and returned to his life as an actor and playwright.

Dacre Stoker became involved in early television dramas in the 1950s but, now well into his mid-60s, he began to take life a little more quietly and devoted additional time to sporting pursuits such as golf, tennis and, particularly, croquet which he found attractive to his ageing limbs. While one critic of that era described croquet as an “...impossibly difficult exercise played to incomprehensible rules by venomous old people with a tendency to swear”, Stoker was fascinated by it.

In fact in 1962, at the age of 77, he became the croquet champion of Ireland.

He was also a member of the exclusive Garrick Club for gentlemen associated with the theatre in London’s West End. Lieutenant Commander Stoker died in London on his 81st birthday on 2 February, 1966.

Robert Bartlett Bates – Mornington’s stretcher bearer hero

By Peter McCullough OF the 120 listed on the honour roll in Mornington’s Memorial Park, a number were decorated for bravery under fire. One of those was Robert Bates of the Australian Army Medical Corps who returned home with a Military Medal (won at Lone Pine) and Bar (won at Pozieres.) What makes his record different to the other 119 is that he was a pacifist and never fired a shot during his years of service.

ROBERT Bates was born at Kew in 1887, the only son of Alfred and Isabella (nee Bartlett). The war was only a few weeks old when Robert enlisted on 19 August, 1914; his serial number was 375. During 1914 he had been an integral team member of the Mornington Football Club which finished the season as runners-up to Hastings. Although the family address was “Una”, The Esplanade, Mornington, Robert’s occupation was shown as “grazier” on the electoral roll as the family owned a farm at Moorooduc. However at the time of his enlistment Robert was training for the priesthood at the small Anglo-Catholic St. John’s College in Melbourne; accordingly his enlistment papers state his occupation as “student.”

On 21 October, 1914 he sailed on HMAT A20 Hororata as a member of the Australian Army Medical Corps

Promoted to corporal, it was not long before Bates was in action in France where he was awarded a bar to his Military Medal. The citation, published on 21 August, 1916 read: In trenches N.E. of POZIERES, FRANCE on the 21st August, Cpl BATES attached to 7th Bn showed conspicuous bravery during the fighting around POZIERES. He continuously by his calmness and coolness under very heavy shell fire stimulated over-excited men to return to their duties in the line. He has shown excellent work with the Battalion from the time of its formation and has never missed a day from it during the day of the 21st. He under very heavy shell fire went out into No Mans Land and read the burial service barehanded, over a fallen Comrade and beside those he was unable to bury placed a wooden cross, bearing their names and particulars concerning them.

He remained in No Mans Land over one hour and during the whole time the enemy’s shelling was extremely heavy.

attached to the 7th Battalion. Robert Bates took part in the Gallipoli landing and was awarded the Military Medal for his bravery at Lone Pine.

The citation, published in the London Gazette on 27 October, 1915, read: The enemy was heavily bombing

the position all night. The stretcherbearers were kept busy evacuating the wounded and Private Bates had. in consequence to do practically all the work of bringing the wounded under cover from the firing line and rendering first aid.

He carried out this work repeatedly and fearlessly under very heavy bombing.

During the enemy’s counter attack on the morning of the 9th August, 1915, Private Bates continued the same work while the attack lasted.

In the opinion of one Anzac officer, expressed in London Opinion and later in The Mirror of Australia on 24 February 1917, a Victoria Cross would not have been out of place: I’ve pretty well given up belief in miracles; but this war has raised a lot

of ghosts, and among them the ghost of a belief that perhaps miracles are among the things that happen, even in an artillery duel.

When we went into action, I was securely placed behind a ruined farmhouse; but some German must have seen the Red Cross flag, for a shell sent the ruins in 5000 different directions, and I found myself dressing wounded in a moving sea of sand; that’s all I could call it.

We had fought at Pozieres for 24 hours, and boys from every part of Australia had formed up, marched out, doubled, and gone to death, like men that they were; and now it was the cold grey dawn of a new day, and from every crater and hole came the groans of the dying, and all between were huddled masses of khaki that never moved, and over it all the winter sun began to rise.

Little Bates had worked with a will; a queer little fellow, and a Quaker who would not fight. But he carried in man after man, and tended them, and

there were a few chaps who said that he had prayed over them. I don’t know.

I hadn’t time to straighten my back to see. All I know is, that as Christ walked the Sea of Galilee, so Bates walked No Man’s Land in the light of that winter sun rising over the hell made by man.

In one hand he held a bundle of wooden crosses, and in the other a flask. Over each wounded or dying man he bent and put his flask to his lips. On the breasts of the dead he put a cross, and when he could he made a hollow in the sand, and covered the corpse, and in every case, not much less than a hundred all told, he said a prayer and committed to its God the soul that was taking its flight.

Through all that hellish artillery fire, those screaming shells, and bursting shrapnel, he moved, a silent Christ.

The Chaplain came and stood by me, and his fingers shook as he pointed to him.

I don’t know whether Bates got the VC I reported fully about him, but somehow it does not seem to me to matter very much for such a man. He can afford to wait for the judgement of the King of Kings.

On 14 November, 1916, soon after he was promoted to sergeant, Robert Bates was severely wounded on the Somme with gunshot wounds to the knee and arm. He was repatriated to England where he underwent a long period of rehabilitation. In 1918 he took extended leave to take up an Overseas Sailors’ and Soldiers’ scholarship, studying theology at Merton College, Oxford. He obtained honours and on 19 June, 1920 he left England on the Orontes, disembarking in Melbourne on 1 August. The final entry in his military record shows that he was discharged from the AIF on 9 December, 1920: “Medically Unfit-Disability-GSW Rt. Knee.”

Early the following year Robert Bates went back to England and in 1922 he became the curate at St. Andrew’s, Bethnal Green in the poor East End of London. In 1924 he returned to Australia to become the vicar of Copmanhurst in the Grafton Diocese but two years later he was appointed the

rector of All Saints, Wickham Terrace, Queensland. He carried out these responsibilities until 1947. During this time he held the position of chaplaingeneral of the former Brisbane Franciscan communities and of St Christopher’s Boys Farm School which he established and continued to manage after retiring from his post as rector at All Saints. His farming background was put to good use and his stud Ayreshires won prizes at agricultural shows. Subsequently a chapel was erected in his honour in 1971 at the Brookfield Centre for Christian Spirituality in Kenmore Hills, Queensland.

Robert Bates married Clarice Mary Albina Cox in 1942; Clarice was one of his choir girls and had been practising as a dietitian in Brisbane. The Rev Robert Bartlett Bates died 27 June, 1955, aged 68.

Getting conditioned for the front BEFORE moving to Mornington the Bates family lived in Frankston and Robert played for that team. The Mornington Standard of 7 September, 1912 carried a lengthy report of proceedings before the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions where “Leonard Incigneri, captain of the Hastings team, and captain of the Richmond team in the League competitions last year, was charged with unlawful assault during the progress of the Frankston and Hastings match at Somerville on 24 August.” The player subject to assault was Robert Bates.

Dr Charles Maxwell, the first witness, gave the following evidence: “..Saw the incident that Bates and Incigneri were concerned in. The ball

PAGE 14

was kicked from near the centre, and it travelled towards the boundary, followed by Bates and Incigneri. Just as it got to the boundary, Incigneri hit

Western Port News 19 April 2016

Bates, and he fell heavily to the ground.

The ball was then out of play. In my opinion the blow was deliberate. Bates was slightly in front of Incigneri and I

don’t think he could see who hit him.

Within a few moments of Bates being struck, he was picked up and carried to the pavilion. He was stunned and did not know where he was. He had abrasions on his forehead, nose and generally on the right side of his face. His mouth was full of dirt, and blood was coming out both his nose and mouth. I think the blow hit him behind the ear ... I saw him on Saturday night and he was still looking dazed and had a high temperature ... he will not be himself again for weeks.”

Ben Baxter, captain of the Frankston team, elaborated on the effect on Bates: “After Bates came on to the ground the second time he seemed silly. I saw him run into another player

and he fell over. He appeared stunned.

After the incident there appeared to be a hostile crowd around Incigneri.”

Incigneri, who gave his occupation as “blacksmith” and who was obviously a much larger man than Bates who measured only five feet five inches when he enlisted, was found guilty and fined five pounds, in default of one month’s imprisonment. The defendant was also ordered to pay costs amounting to five pounds and 10 shillings. No medal for “bravery under fire” was awarded to Robert Bates on this occasion.

Note: Len Incigneri was the feature of an article written by Doug Dyall and which was published in The News in January, 2010.

Alfred Edward Bates Above: The memorial clock, now in the Mornington Library.

Below: The clock in its original location, the Mechanics Institute.

THE father of Robert Bates, Alfred Edward Bates was the son of Robert Jackson Bates, a leading English cotton manufacturer. Born in Manchester in 1850, Alfred Bates came to Australia in 1875 and worked as a commercial traveller for wholesale drug houses for a number of years before buying a farm at Moorooduc.

The family eventually settled in Mornington where Alfred became a shire councillor and was treasurer of both Mornington Progress Association and the fire brigade.

With the outbreak of war the whole family, which included three daughters, became heavily involved in the Red Cross as a support to their only son and brother, Robert.

Mornington was shocked when, on Easter Day, 1917, Alfred Bates was knocked down by a motor car while attempting to cross Main St. This is believed to be Mornington’s first road fatality.

The townspeople held Mr. Bates in such high regard that a public appeal was held for a memorial and in three weeks 102 subscribers had pledged 40 pounds.

A clock was placed on the front of the Mechanics Institute where it remained until 2004 when it was moved to the new Mornington library. At the same time the congregation of St Peter’s church in Mornington commissioned a stained glass window in memory of Alfred Bates.

Balnarring & District Community Bank® Branch

As we approach the commemoration of ANZAC Day 2016, Balnarring & District Community Bank® Branch would like to acknowledge a Balnarring resident who has been working for some time to provide a local focal point for remembrance for his community.

Some years ago, Balnarring resident and former Balnarring & District Community Services Limited Director, Commander Matt Keogh RAN, became aware of the men from Balnarring and neighbouring districts who had volunteered to serve with Australian forces fighting in World War 1.

Whilst their names were listed on an Honour Board in the Balnarring Hall, there was no official monument in the community which acknowledged the sacrifice of these young men, with their lives still in front of them, had set out for what they thought was the adventure of a lifetime.

Since that time, Matt has liaised with the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to have a small memorial situated in Balnarring, to enable locals and visitors to remember and reflect on what those before us have achieved.

The first service at the proposed site, supported by HMAS Cerberus, was held on ANZAC Day 2015 and over 200 people of all ages attended, with representatives from many local community organisations and Balnarring Primary School laying wreaths.

On ANZAC Day this year, a service will again be conducted in Balnarring to reflect and remember not just the original Anzacs, but all Australian men and women who have served in conflicts and on peacekeeping operations over the past 100 years.

Local projects such as this are a vital part of our communities and Balnarring & District Community Bank® Branch is proud to support Matt’s endeavours and congratulates him on his initiative and community spirit.

With the support of the local community and the Balnarring & District Community Bank® Branch, this memorial is close to being realised.

HMAS Goorangai – lost with all hands

By Peter McCullough HMAS Goorangai was the first Royal Australian Navy ship lost in World War II, the first RAN surface ship lost in wartime, and the first RAN surface ship lost with all hands. What makes this tragedy of special interest is that it occurred inside Port Phillip.

Origin THE Goorangai was built in Newcastle in 1919 for the New South Wales government, then sold in 1926 to Cam and Sons where it was refitted as a fishing trawler. At the outbreak of war the Goorangai was one of 35 privately-owned vessels requisitioned by the RAN as auxiliary minesweepers.

Eight of these vessels had belonged to Cam and Sons and some of the fishermen had stayed with their vessels; in the case of the Goorangai, the RAN persuaded 16 of the fishermen crew to sign up including the skipper David McGregor, who was given the rank of commissioned warrant officer.

HMAS Goorangai was 223 tons in displacement, had a single boiler, and a maritime fit of a 12 pounder gun, four depth charges, small arms, and Oropesa sweep gear.

The collision Minesweeping routine in November, 1940 in Bass Strait required the ships to enter Port Phillip for resupply. After being anchored initially off Queenscliff on the hot afternoon of 20 November, 1940, at about 8pm. The

eventually stopped, put on all its upper deck lighting, signalled that a collision had occurred, and lowered two lifeboats to search for survivors.

After an hour of unsuccessful searching the lifeboats were retrieved. The minesweeper had sunk in 15 metres of water and only the masts were visible.

The Duntroon then returned to Williamstown to have her bow repaired.

This was the first RAN vessel lost in World War II, the first RAN surface vessel to be lost in wartime, and the first RAN surface ship lost with all hands.

Above: HMAS Goorangai.

Goorangai began a short move to a more comfortable anchorage at Point Nepean near the Quarantine Station.

On her way to Sydney carrying 65 passengers and both general and perishable cargo was the MV Duntroon.

About 8.45pm she struck the Goorangai forward of the funnel on the port

side and cut her in two while she was crossing the South Channel. HMAS Goorangai sank in less than a minute resulting in the loss of her whole ship’s company of 24: three officers and 21 sailors.

Eyewitnesses reported that the Duntroon displayed only dimmed war-

time navigation lighting while the Goorangai displayed bright harbour navigation lights. The captain of the Duntroon believed he was overtaking Goorangai but instead he was on a collision course as Goorangai was actually crossing Duntroon’s path.

After the collision the Duntroon

German activity in Bass Strait The German armed raider Pinguin and its auxiliary, Passat, laid six minefields in Australia between 28 October and 7 November, 1940. Passat minefields were laid east and west of Bass Strait.

These minefields quickly claimed merchant ships Cambridge (British) at the eastern end of Bass Strait and the City of Rayville (American) at the western end on 7 and 9 November, respectively. Both ships lost one sailor while abandoning ship. The casualty on the City of Rayville was the first American sailor lost in World War II through hostilities.

The Passat minefield of approximately 100 mines closed Bass Strait to merchant shipping but was cleared by auxiliary minesweepers, including HMAS Goorangai.

was within the shipping transit zone, she was perceived as a navigation hazard and a quick method of clearance and salvage was deemed essential.

During the salvage operations the remains of just six of the sailors killed were recovered, as well as confidential books, the 12 pounder gun, and minesweeping gear. The plan to salvage or remove the hull was abandoned as it was ascertained that one of the depth charges had been armed and its accidental firing would have spelt disaster for the salvage crew. As there was the urgent need to clear the navigation hazard, it was decided to achieve this by dispersal of the wreck using explosives rather than raising and recovering it.

right of immediate publication. The Naval Board, however, secured a censorship ban. As could be expected, rumours soon began to circulate. The most common story was that the Duntroon was sailing through the South Channel with full navigation lights showing when she struck the Goorangai which was blacked out. The Duntroon continued to sail to Sydney without stopping as she was transporting troops for the war effort. Details as to the number of bodies recovered varied almost daily, including the claim that

one body was buried at sea.

The end result The blasting operations in January, 1941 reduced the remains of the Goorangai to large and small sections of steel plating which still protrude from the sandy seabed. A small cylindrical boiler (2mx3m) is lying at the northern end of the site. Broken machinery and boiler sections are scattered around the site and occasionally wartime relics such as gas masks can

be seen.

The remains cover about 200 square metres of the seabed and a considerable length of hull plating stands proud of the sand to a height of about two metres. The remains of the hull have been colonised by a diverse assemblage of colourful encrusting organisms, such as bryozoans, sponges and soft corals. This in turn provides an ideal habitat for both free swimming and sedentary fauna, including many fish species, cuttlefish, sea horses, nudibranches and starfish. The abun-

dance and variety of marine life, in association with the shipwreck, makes the HMAS Goorangai a popular destination for sport divers. The ship was recognised under the Historic Shipwrecks Act on 16 November, 1985.

Postscript In 1981 a memorial to HMAS Goorangai was unveiled at Queenscliff, and a memorial plaque was placed at HMAS Cerberus, Crib Point, in 1997.

Investigation The initial Court of Marine Inquiry found both ships to be at fault for the collision and the captain of the Duntroon was asked to “show reason” to retain his master’s certificate and Port Phillip pilot exemption.

At the “show reason” hearing the perceived poor positioning of side navigation lights aboard Goorangai was identified as the main cause of the collision. The fact that there were no survivors from one vessel led to what many thought was a “friendlier” verdict in favour of the surviving vessel and her crew, with the captain of the Duntroon being exonerated at the inquiry.

Chinese whispers The news of the collision quickly reached media outlets ashore which believed the normal wartime censorship provisions did not apply as the loss of the Goorangai was not due to enemy action and did not involve aspects of security; they claimed the

Lucky Jack Before the Naval Board could implement its censorship ban, the local papers were able to carry some news items. On 22 November, The Argus informed its readers of the good fortune of Ordinary Seaman Jack Kenny who suffered “violent seasickness” and was replaced that day by the not-so-fortunate Ordinary Seaman F R Hack. It was Frank Hack’s first day at sea. He was 17.

M V Duntroon The M V Duntroon was a passenger ship built for the Melbourne Steamship Company by Swan, Hunter and Wigham Richardson, Wallsend-onTyne, and entered service in 1939. She was designed for the East-West Australian coastal passenger service.

At the start of World War II the Duntroon was requisitioned for conversion into an armed merchant cruiser, but was found to be unsuitable. Following the collision with HMAS Goorangai the Duntroon was used to relocate captured officers off the German auxiliary cruiser Kormoran from Freman-

tle to Murchison tn Victoria.

In February, 1942 the Duntroon was then requisitioned by the Australian army for use as a troopship. It was involved in a second fatal collision in November, 1943 when travelling between Milne Bay and Gona. This resulted in the sinking of the USS Perkins with the loss of nine Americans but a court of inquiry found that the captain of the Perkins was accountable for the incident. In 1945 the Duntroon carried former prisoners-of-war back to Australia. Her army service continued until 1946 when she was chartered by the RAN for transport duties

with the British Commonwealth Occupation Force.

Duntroon was returned to her civilian owners in 1950. In 1961 the ship was sold to Kie Hock Shipping Company and renamed Tong Hoo. She was sold again in 1966 to Africa Shipping Company and renamed Lydia. The ship was laid up in Singapore in 1967 and sailed to Taiwan for scrapping in 1973. The ship’s bell, which was removed when the Duntroon was sold in 1961, was subsequently installed on the parade ground of the Royal Military College, Duntroon, in Canberra.

OUR ANZACS

The forgotten victims of war

By Peter McCullough IN his book “Those We Forget”, published in 2014, David Noonan comments on the “casualties” which occurred after the cessation of hostilities in 1918 amongst the AIF men who were wounded or gassed: “... it is estimated that they now number 62,300 (plus or minus 400), about 550 by their own hand, mainly in 1919 and 1920, and a further 8000 men would die a premature death due to war-related causes in the post-war years.”

In 1918 an entire government department - subsequently the Department of Veterans’ Affairs - came into being in Australia to try to look after those who were carried or had managed to walk or hobble home. The first artificial limb factory was opened at the Caulfield hospital in Melbourne. Eventually, Australia had six of these factories.

Thousands of men ended their lives in sanatorium wards or boarding houses, still coughing from the gas. Peter Synan’s “The Dahlsen Story - A pioneering Family in Gippsland since 1862” provides an excellent illustration of the fate that befell some of those who returned.

Fred Dahlsen enlisted in April, 1915 and saw service at Gallipoli and the Western Front.

Debilitated by illness and the trauma of war, Fred was hospitalised for some time before returning to Melbourne in October, 1918.

“There was no hero’s return to his home town of Bairnsdale for him, as he chose to withdraw to Acland Street, St Kilda, his mother’s residence. Although not officially declared ill or unfit, war it seems had worn him out, sapped his spirit. He retired from workaday life and is remembered by family as a pathetic figure, sitting huddled in the billiard room listening to a crystal radio set with his headphones, his social outings confined to a nearby hotel. Yet

this was a man of Gallipoli and Fromelles, the legendary defeats which had forged so much of the self-image of the young Australian nation.”

Arthur Dahlsen, Fred’s older brother, enlisted in October, 1916. He joined the 8th Light Horse but his war was brief and tragic .

He suffered a number of illnesses as well as a bullet wound to the back and neck, and before Christmas 1917 he was back in Melbourne on the hospital transport Wiltshire. Synan tells us: “He was too ill to return to his previous work in the family store in Bairnsdale. Soon he was thoroughly incapacitated, becoming a bed-ridden patient in turn at the Caulfield Military Hospital and Anzac Hospital. Despite being treated by the best specialists, Arthur died in October, 1920. It had been a thoroughly wretched war for him. Should he have indulged in self-pity well might he have envied his dead comrades of Gaza.”

Other men were hidden away. Sergeant Martin O’Meara , a stretcher bearer, was awarded a VC for his bravery at Pozieres in 1916. For four days during heavy fighting he brought in wounded officers and men from no-man’s-land.

Physically wounded and mentally shattered, he was “required to be kept in restraint” in the secluded Claremont Mental Hospital near Perth.

O’Meara died alone from “chronic mania”, in 1935; he had spent 16 years in a straitjacket.

While the numbers of returned men who took their own lives may have peaked in the immediate post-war years, the losses continued throughout the 1920s and appear to have risen again in the 1930s with the challenges posed by the Depression years. It was the early ‘30’s which claimed the lives of two of Australia’s best loved heroes of the Great War: Captain Hugo Throssell VC and Major General “Pompey” Elliott.

OUR ANZACS CAPTAIN HUGO VIVIAN HOPE THROSSELL was born in Northam, Western Australia on 26 October, 1884, the youngest son of George Throssell, storekeeper and, later, premier. Throssell was a champion athlete and boxer, captained the local football team, and took up land in 1912 in the Western Australian wheatbelt with his brother, Ric. With the outbreak of war Hugo and Ric joined the 10th Light Horse Regiment, formed in October, 1914.

Commissioned as a second lieutenant, Hugo arrived at Gallipoli on 4 August, 1915, three days before the charge at the Nek when nine officers and 73 men of his regiment were killed within minutes. Throssell was one of the leaders of the fourth and last line of attacking troops which was recalled after having advanced only a few yards. This experience increased his eagerness to prove himself in battle which came later that month at Hill 60.

For a week British and Anzac troops had sustained heavy losses as they attempted to dislodge the Turks from Hill 60, a low knoll almost a kilometre from the beach. At 1am on 29 August the 10th Light Horse was brought into action to take a long trench held by Turkish troops on the summit of Hill 60. As a guard, Throssell killed five Turks while his men constructed a barricade across their part of the trench. Throughout the night both sides threw more than 3000 bombs with the Western Australians picking up the bombs thrown at them by the Turks and hurling them back. Towards dawn the Turks made three rushes at the Australian trench, but were stopped by showers of bombs and heavy rifle fire. Throssell, who at one stage was in sole com-

mand, was wounded twice. His face covered in blood from bomb splinters in his forehead, he repeatedly yelled encouragement to his men. For his part in the battle Hugo Trossell was awarded the Victoria Cross, the citation reading: “For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty during operations on the Kaiakij Aghala (Hill 60) on the Gallipoli Peninsula on 29th and 30th August, 1915. Although severely wounded in several places during a counter-attack, he refused to leave his post or to obtain medical assistance till all danger was passed, when he had his wounds dressed and returned to the firing line until ordered out of action by the Medical Officer. By his personal courage and example he kept up the spirits of his party, and was largely instrumental in saving the situation at a critical period.”

Throssell was the first Western Australian to win the VC in the Great War, he was the only member of the Australian Light Horse to win the award, and was among the first Australians to receive the medal from the king at Buckingham Palace.

While recuperating from his wounds in London, Throssell was introduced to Katherine Susannah Pritchard who later became a famous Australian author (best known for her novels Coonardoo and Working Bullocks) and socialist. He eventually returned to active service, rejoining the 10th Light Horse in the Middle East where he fought in a number of engagements and achieved the rank of captain. Throssell was wounded in April, 1917 at the second battle of Gaza where his brother Ric was killed. He returned to the regiment for the final offensives in Palestine

and led the 10th Light Horse guard of honour at the fall of Jerusalem. He returned home in 1918 and married Katherine in the next year.

In the following years Throssell was an outspoken opponent of war, and claimed that the suffering he had seen had made him a socialist. His stance on the futility of war outraged many people, especially as it was coming from a national war hero and the son of a respected and conservative former premier. His very public political opinions badly damaged his employment prospects, and he fell deeply into financial debt. Desperate, he devised a scheme which he thought would be a money-spinner.

While Katherine was on a six month trip to the Soviet Union, he organised a rodeo on his Greenmount property on a Sunday, not realising that it was illegal to charge entry fees on the sabbath. The only money raised from the 2000 people who attended was a meagre silver collection for charity.

The episode plunged Throssell further into debt and shattered his optimism.

Imagining that he could better provide for his wife and 11-year-old son if he left them a war pension, he shot himself on 19 November, 1933.

He was 49.

by John Hamilton, Pan, 2012.

MAJOR GENERAL HAROLD EDWARD “POMPEY” ELLIOTT was born at West Charlton, Victoria, on 18 June, 1878. He was educated at Ballarat College, then the University of Melbourne where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Laws, sharing the final honours scholarship in law in 1906. He was called to the Victorian bar in 1906 and established a firm of solicitors. While

the law may have been his profession, Elliott’s passion was soldiering. In 1900 he had interrupted his studies to enlist in the 4th Victorian (Imperial) Contingent, serving in South Africa where he obtained a commission, the Distinguished Conduct Medal, and was mentioned in despatches.

Elliott joined the militia on his return from South Africa and held the rank of lieutenant colonel in 1914. He was given the same rank in the Australian Imperial Force and command of the 7th Battalion. Elliott’s massive frame - he had been a good footballer and university champion shot putterhis energy, strength of character and explosive temper quickly established him as one of the characters of the force. His men called him Pompey after the footballer Fred “Pompey” Elliott, Carlton’s 1908 premiership captain. It was a nickname which

did not please him but which clung to him to the end. Hard training and stern discipline were the foundation on which he built the 7th at Broadmeadows and then in Egypt.

Even before the Gallipoli landing Pompey was establishing his reputation within the AIF. It was the combination of his whole-heartedness, his absolute dedication to duty, coupled with his tempestuous personality, that generated a host of Pompey stories.

And there was another ingredient too: his loyalty, his profound regard for and commitment to the officers and men he led, the kind of devotion manifested in the way he spent his time on leave visiting hospitals to see those of his men who had been wounded, and how he never stopped trying to think of ways his men could be better looked after in or out of the trenches. They soon came to realise

that he had a genuine and profound regard for them despite his gruff volatile exterior.

Throughout the war Elliott was Throughout the war Elliott was accompanied by his big black horse, Darkie. During inspections Darkie seemed to demonstrate an astounding ability to detect minor irregularities.

He would draw Elliottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention to unshavenness or improper attire by stopping, throwing back his ears, and stretching out his neck. In fact it was Pompey, an accomplished horseman, who was directing the horse by subtly nudging Darkieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neck. He would

then pretend that Darkie had spotted the irregularity. Years after his men were still convinced that the horse had detected their errors for which the commander had berated them.

Elliott was shot in the foot on the landing at Gallipoli on 25 April, 1915, rejoined his battalion in June, and was in the midst of the fighting at Lone Pine in August where the Turks attacked repeatedly. Amidst savage fighting there were heavy casualties, with no fewer than four of Pompeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s men winning the VC at Lone Pine.

From Gallipoli the 7th Battalion returned to Egypt where it was sent

35 miles across the desert to defend the Suez Canal. The crossing was first attempted by the 14th Battalion which was forced to turn back. Elliott personally inspected the route, talked with officers familiar with it, and drew up a new timetable for the march, managing to get his men across with only a handful of casualties. On the march one man forgot the ban on smoking. Elliott characteristically started to scream at the man, even threatening to shoot him. Out of the ranks came a shout: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you shoot him, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll shoot you.â&#x20AC;? When the soldier who called out was brought forward

and explained that no one spoke to his brother like that, Elliott sent the man to his school for NCOs, with the rationale that anyone who could stand up to himself in full flight clearly had leadership potential.

On arriving at Suez, the water that

the battalion had been promised was nowhere to be found. Elliott made one of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;vigorous protestsâ&#x20AC;? that he was becoming famous for, and was assured that the water would be available at 5.30 next morning. Elliott was up at 5am where he found that

many of his men had been unable to sleep due to their thirst and were licking at the taps around the camp. He found the camp’s chief engineer who informed him that he had strict orders not to start the pumps before 8am as it would wake the corps commander.

Elliott remounted his horse and tore off to corps headquarters where he

informed a yawning staff officer that unless the water was turned on in the next five minutes, the 7th Battalion would be assembling and telling the corps commander what they thought of him. The staff officer made a phone call and Elliott was warned that he shouldn’t make such a fuss again.

He simply replied that he would do

whatever was needed to help his men when he had to.

Elliott was promoted to brigadier general early in 1916, assuming command of the 15th Brigade shortly before the disaster at Fromelles. Despite his inexperience in trench warfare, Elliott pointed out that the width of no-man’s-land was too great for the assault to succeed. Field Marshall

Haig decided that the operation must go on, so Elliott did all that was possible to make it a success by himself going to the front line to personally inspect the lie of the land and encourage his men. He loathed the idea of throwing his men away uselessly and openly wept when it turned out that 1800 of the 5533 Australian casualties were from the 15th Brigade. These losses notwithstanding, the Brigade

did magnificent work at the Battle of Polygon Wood at the end of September, 1917, with Elliott proving to be an inspiring leader. During the battle he went up to the front line to sort out the confusion there. Welsh Fusiliers were mixed up with the Australian troops. One wrote: “It was the only time during the whole of the war that I saw a brigadier with the first line of attacking troops.” Another said it was

OUR ANZACS

Above: Pompey Elliott as Brigadier General and General Officer Commanding of the 15th Australian Infantry Brigade. left: Officers and NCO’s of the 7th Infantry Battalion HQ with Pompey Elliott seated in the centre.

“... rare for anyone who combines authority and nous to be on the spot.”

The Australians were unsurprised; their brigadier was just being himself.

Later, Elliott wrote a report on the performance of a neighbouring British division: it was so critical that Lieutenant General Birdwood ordered all copies to be destroyed. Perhaps Elliott’s testiness could be partly explained by the fact that during this battle his brother, Captain George Elliott, a Military Cross winner, was killed. (George, a doctor, had been an excellent footballer, playing 80 VFL games prior to his enlistment. Although he did play with Fitzroy, most of his VFL games were with University which he captained in 1911 and 1912. He also represented Victoria.)

Furthermore, a letter from home had revealed the collapse of Pompey’s legal firm, leaving him with a debt of 5000 pounds.

Elliott’s brigade also fought a second time at Villers-Bretonneux in April, 1918, the point at which the German offensive was halted.

During this battle Elliott ordered that any British troops seen withdrawing were to be stopped and shot if they refused to turn back, angering their GOC Major General Heneker.

Elliott quarrelled with everybody and was even known to put his battalion commanders and members of his staff under arrest when he lost his temper; such men resumed their duties when matters had blown over.

After the Battle of Amiens, Elliott’s brigade fought at Peronne at the end of August, 1918, and at the Hindenberg Line a month later. Early in Oc-

tober the Australians were withdrawn for a rest and did not take part in any further fighting.

After the armistice Elliott called a parade to hand out some last medals and gave the men a farewell speech to thank them for upholding his demanding standards. Later that afternoon the brigade returned to his headquarters, preceded by bands and colours. Each company circled the building and cheered for their commander. The senior colonel called for three cheers and told Pompey that the men wanted to show their appreciation for him; although it was a voluntary march ther were no absentees.

Elliott returned to Australia in June, 1919 and set about re-establishing his legal practice. In the general election held in that year he was top of the poll for the election of Victorian senators, and retained that position in the 1925 election. Although he did not make any special mark as a politician, Elliott was strident in his efforts to assist returned servicemen, particularly those with whom he had served. This would take the form of arguing in the Senate in relation to the new legislation being brought before it for the post-war defence forces, or personally assisting any members of his battalion. Elliott also played an important part in the 1923 Victorian police strike, making a call for members of the AIF to come to the town hall and sign up as special constables alongside General Sir John Monash.

Many men, upon reaching the town hall, came specifically looking for Pompey, ready to stand behind him again.

Western Port News 19 April 2016

In the immediate post-war years Elliott was in great demand as an unveiler as towns and organisations produced war memorials. Some had special significance: at Charlton, Ballarat and Ormond College. Of local significance was his journey to Mornington in October, 1921 to speak at the opening of an unusual memorial: a sizeable residence had been purchased, renovated and transformed into accommodation for homeless and destitute children. The property had been purchased by the family of Andrew Kerr, a 57th Battalion sergeant killed at Fromelles, as a lasting tribute to him. The building was of course “Glenbank”, built by the Reverend Caldwell in 1875, and narrowly saved from demolition in recent times. Elliott was frequently sought as a public speaker, particularly around Anzac Day. In 1922 he addressed crowds at Tongala and then Kyabram where he presented medals to returned soldiers (including one of his 7th Battalion originals) and then unveiled the Kyabram war memorial. In the days prior to Anzac Day he met with soldier settlers in Stanhope and Girgarre; the wisdom of settling returned soldiers with limited agricultural experience on farms was not universally accepted, and Elliott was keen to learn how these men were going.

In 1927 Elliott was promoted to the rank of major general, having still retained his involvement in the army. However, he felt that he was sidelined by the new leadership of the army; this was probably due to his outspokenness, particularly in

relation to these appointments and the wartime records of some of those selected. Perhaps surprisingly for one who exuded so much confidence and bravado, Elliott was affected by what would now be called “post traumatic stress disorder”. The situation was exacerbated by the fact that he felt inadequate to help so many who turned to him for assistance with the onset of the Great Depression. Furthermore, his old grievance about being overlooked for promotion kept gnawing at him. So significant was his illness that, in the early hours of the morning of 23 March, 1931, at 52 years of age, Elliott took his own life while receiving treatment as an inpatient at a private hospital in Malvern. He had been admitted to the hospital late the previous afternoon after making an attempt to gas himself at his home in Camberwell. He left behind a wife (Kate) and two young children (Violet and Neil).

Elliott was buried on 25 March, 1931. After a short service at his home at 56 Prospect Hill Rd, his casket was drawn, with full military honours, including bands and escort party, on a gun carriage pulled by horses resplendent with black plumes, to the Burwood Cemetery, a march of some four miles. Newspaper reports tell of the thousands who either followed the cortege or lined the parade route. At the graveside there was a moving and significant service.

The cause of Elliott’s death was not disclosed at the time. A month later Smith’s Weekly divulged the confronting truth that Elliott had died by his own hand. Outraged returned

soldiers gathered to burn down the newspaper’s offices and serious trouble was narrowly averted. The intense hostility towards Smith’s Weekly was confirmation of Elliott’s enduring esteem in the eyes of his men. It also underlined the jolting impact of his death; at a time of such pervasive misery and pessimism the sudden discovery that their idol, the leader that they admired above all others for his bravery and determination, had found it all too hard was a devastatingly bitter pill to swallow.

Some refused to digest it at all, finding it simply unthinkable. While the reaction at the time was dismay, even disbelief, the manner of Elliott’s death has undoubtedly affected posterity’s perception of the man.

Reference: “Pompey Elliott” by Ross McMullin, Scribe Publications, 2002.

Footnote: Much of the information on Pompey Elliott has been gleaned from talks given, articles written, or the excellent biography referred to above. Ross McMullin really makes his subject come to life. He provides a host of Pompey stories and anecdotes which reflect both the character of the man and the typical digger humour of the times. Some that were not included in the feature article are part of Australian military folklore and are so entertaining that they have been reproduced alongside this special Anzac Day edition. Most of them are from Ross McMullin’s works.

Property Made Easy

THINKING OF SELLING? Making the decision to sell your home is big. But deciding who should sell your property can make a huge difference to the outcome of the sale. Choose an agent wisely; one that has both selling and life experience. An agent that understands that the smooth, successful sale of your home is more important than just slapping a “sold” sticker on a board.

During 30 years of working in banking Alex Menassa learnt that the only way to success is to understand people’s needs and then strive in any way possible to assist in meeting mutual goals. This philosophy has become a hallmark of Alex’s career in Real Estate, which began in 1997.

Selling real estate on the Mornington Peninsula comes easily to Alex; it’s simple to sell a product you understand and love.

Married and with a grown family, Alex has lived on the Mornington Peninsula for most of his life and he continues to believe that providing excellent professional service is the only way to operate.

PROPERTIES SOLD BY ALEX MENASSA IN JUST 1 WEEK! “Alex was a pleasure to deal with, stayed calm under pressure, always professional, with a welcoming smile, patient and friendly.” – J. & S. PLEASE CALL ALEX MENASSA ON 0419 328 775 SO HE CAN ASSIST YOU IN MEETING YOUR REAL ESTATE GOALS.

OUR ANZACS

The legend of Harold Edward ‘Pompey’ Elliott ROSS McMullin’s biography Pompey Elliott is more than 700 pages and contains all of the stories and folklore surrounding this legend of the 1st AIF. The internet is also a profitable source of Pompey stories; invariably they are from papers or addresses given by Ross McMullin.

The stories selected on this occasion have generally come from internet items.

expressed as to the fate of the hat, the most favoured version is that someone reached under the edge of the officers’ mess tent, grabbed the hat, and then either buried it in the desert or gave to a mate in another battalion. All Pompey could find by way of a replacement at short notice was one that was too small and had an odd pinkish colour. At the next parade there was considerable suppressed merriment in the ranks when Pompey struggled to retain his dignity while wearing this peculiar ill-fitting substitute.

The donkey: Although Pompey eventually came to see the funny

heritage

to support his hefty frame. Sure enough, he fell in with a spectacular splash. Signallers amused themselves spreading the message far and wide that “Pompey’s fallen in the Somme” with such gusto that the entire communication system for the 5th Division was blocked. Once again there was a memorable sequel: the arresting sight of Pompey, clad only in a shirt while his other clothes were drying, strutting about directing developments and dictating messages.

The ultimate deterrent: In late 1918 when Pompey found that some undisciplined soldiers were concentrating less on resisting the Germans than hopping into the grog left in the suddenly deserted estaminets and chateaux, he took characteristically assertive action.

When a British officer was caught in the act, Pompey arranged for a notice to be issued declaring that the next officer caught looting would be summarily and publicly hanged and his body left swinging as a deterrent.

He knew that this order was probably illegal, but desperate situations required desperate remedies. There was certainly no more trouble with looting. As Pompey, the solicitor in civilian life, drily observed afterwards, “No-one seemed inclined to make of themselves a test case under the circumstances.”

death of Pompey the bastard.”

WESTERN FRONT Wounded in the rear end; On one occasion Pompey was well forward talking to the commander of a tank when he received a wound to his left buttock. It was uncomfortably sore but not a serious wound, and he was contemptuous of suggestions that he should be evacuated to the rear for treatment. He did allow his own rear to be attended to as long as long as it did not interfere with his direction of the battle. The upshot was an unforgettable spectacle: the brigadier perched on a prominent mound, surveying the battlefield intently and dictating messages uninhibitedly, with his trousers round his ankles and underlings fussing over his behind. Onlookers were appreciatively amused by this further confirmation of his wholehearted commitment; there were also ribald remarks about the massive magnitude of his posterior. According to one of his colonels, “Seeing Pompey with his tailboard down having his wound dressed was one of the sights of the war.”

Making a splash: On one occasion Pompey felt that his battalion commanders were not pursuing the Germans across the Somme vigorously enough. With a contemptuous snort, Pompey decided to hazard his way - under fire - across a damaged bridge that was no certainty

EGYPT Pompey’s hat: The best known Pompey anecdote, and what became the most often told story from the 1st AIF, was the story of Pompey’s hat. Pompey preferred what became known as the slouch hat to be worn by members of the 7th Battalion, being unimpressed with alternatives like caps or the British-style pith-helmet. During one parade in Egypt he made his preference known and, even though slouch hats were in short supply, he made the threat that any man from the 7th who was without a slouch hat at the next parade would find himself cleaning sanitary pans. After that parade Pompey went off to lunch at the officers’ mess, putting his hat under his chair as usual. When the meal ended he reached under the chair to retrieve the hat but was perturbed to find that it was no longer there. A series of searches undertaken at his instigation failed to locate the missing hat.

Although many different views were

side of the missing hat, the story that he most enjoyed recounting involved an incident which occurred when his battalion was marching near Cairo.

The battalion happened to pass a group of hawkers and their tethered donkeys just as one of these animals, a male, was showing interest in a nearby female of the species. The male donkey’s interest was conspicuous and the passing soldiers reacted to this spectacle with ribald laughter. This annoyed the owner of the amorously inclined donkey; he darted over to it and gave one of its ears a savage twist whereupon the donkey’s desire deflated quickly.

Shortly afterwards the battalion’s leading company, headed by its captain marching along in fine style with the senior sergeant just behind him, encountered a horse-drawn carriage containing two attractive women.

One of them bowed and smiled to the captain, who gave an enthusiastic salute in return. Instantly a voice from the ranks was heard: “Twist his ear, sergeant.”

The newsboys: During the months in Egypt prior to the Gallipoli landing Pompey worked the troops particularly hard. He was nonetheless universally respected. Still, at times, they got their own back on their demanding CO. On one occasion they arranged for one of the local newspaper sellers to stand outside his tent in the early morning hours, declaring: Egyptian Times, very good news -

OUR ANZACS

Story behind Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s WWI VC that came just before warâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end

How George Won the Victoria Cross

By Mrs E Wallace

THIS recent publication, Great courage and initiative - The heroic life of George Ingram VC, MM, by A J McAleer, records the life of George Mawby Ingram who was awarded the VC for his actions at Montbrehain in October, 1918.

He was the last Australian to win this award in World War I. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family had orchards at Bagshot, near Bendigo, and later at Seville. On leaving school he joined the militia (Australian Garrison Artillery), became a carpenter and volunteered for overseas service when war broke out.

He was sent to Rabaul where he contracted malaria and was invalided back to Australia.

He quickly re-enlisted, arriving in France in January, 1917 as a reinforcement for 24 Battalion. Soon afterwards he was awarded the Military Medal for his actions at Bapaume.

Subsequently he was promoted to lieutenant, suffered crippling injuries, but was back with his battalion for the last weeks of the war which included the action at Montbrehain.

Injury and ill-health dogged his life after the war when he was variously a soldier settler, Shrine guard, AIF training officer in World War II, and, finally, a foreman with building company E A and Frank Watts.

On his retirement from the building industry George Ingram built a house in Pinewood Drive, Hastings.

He died there on 30 June, 1961 and is buried in the Frankston cemetery.

His wife, Myrtle, died in 2006 and is buried in the same grave.

The biography was launched in April, 2015 to co-incide with the centenary of the Gallipoli landings and one of the speakers was Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger son, Alex.,who still resides at the Hastings property.

Copies of the book can be obtained from the Mont de Lancey Historic Homestead and Museum, 71 Wellington Road, Wandin North, 3139. The price is $25.

We have heard of brave deeds of valor, Being done by our men oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;er the sea, While fighting for dear old England, And to keep Australia free.

And hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s George, our one-time schoolmate, A hero among the rest Tonight we see him before us With the VC on his breast!

No doubt you have heard all about it, But â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;twill bear repeating again; It happened, you know, over yonder in France, At a place that is called Montbrehain.

His platoon was checked, but he rushed the post In the face of fierce resistance Nine machine-guns he took, forty-two were killed, With the aid of his company s assistance!

But this, as you know, is but one of the deeds That gained for our schoolmate renown, Later on, the same day, when the enemyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guns Were mowing his comrades down.

They were suffering severely, and leaders and men Went down â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;neath that fierce onslaught,¡ Then George took command, and rallied the rest, And inspired that confidence they sought.

The fire was intense, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose heart, And himself rushed a post all alone.

Shooting six of the foe, and taking a gun, Out yonder, just east of Peronne!

We are proud of our schoolmate, and proud of the deeds That gained him the coveted cross, And we welcome him back to the land of his birth The land of the Southern Cross.

And we who are here assembled Are one in mind and heart We are proud of the boys who left our shores To take Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part.

In the fearful struggle just ended The fight against might is right Some of our lads have given their lives, Whose faces we miss tonight.

VICTORIA CROSS CITATION - Lt. George Morby Ingram, M.M., 24th Bn., A.I.F. For most conspicuous bravery and initiative during the attack on Montbrehain, East of Peronne, on 5th October, 1918. When early in the advance his platoon was held up by a strong point, Lt. Ingram, without hesitation, dashed out and rushed the post at the head of his men, capturing nine machine guns and killing 42 enemy after stubborn resistance. Later, when the company had suffered severe casualties from enemy posts, and many leaders had fallen, he at once took control of the situation, rallied his men under intense fire, and led them forward. He himself rushed the first post, shot six of the enemy, and captured a machine gun, thus overcoming serious resistance.

On two subsequent occasions he again displayed great dash and resource in the capture of enemy posts, inflicting many casualties and taking 62 prisoners. Throughout the whole day he showed the most inspiring example of courage and leadership, and freely exposed himself regardless of danger.

On Saturday 10 May, 1919 George Ingram was given a civic reception in the small town of Seville where he grew up and where his parents still lived. (Incidentally there were three Ingram boys. All enlisted but only George returned.) As well as an inscribed gold watch and chain, George was presented with a framed copy of a poem written by one of his old schoolmates.

WHAT’S NEW...

Hastings Community Bank Branch is here to stay Hastings & District Community Bank Branch

IN HASTINGS FOR THE LONG HAUL! A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN Seven years ago the local community got behind the concept of a community bank. And so the Bendigo Bank (Hastings Community Bank Branch) was started.

The branch offers a complete and very competitive banking service including business banking facilities, housing loans, deposits, etc. as well as insurance and financial planning services

CELEBRATING seven outstanding years of business in our community with more than $300,000 back into local groups and projects.

Established in 1998, Bendigo Bank’s Community Bank model responded to a growing trend of bank branch closures across Australia, which were directly impacting people and their local communities.

Fast forward to today and there are now 311 Community Bank branches across the country, located in every state and territory. 143 branches are located right here in Victoria.

One of these is Hastings Community Bank Branch, opened in June 2008.

All Bendigo Bank branches offer the same great products, tailored services and awardwinning customer care. However, behind the scenes of a Community Bank branch it is quite different.

Here, a community company owned by local shareholders works in partnership with Bendigo Bank.

Bendigo Bank provides the banking infrastructure and licensing requirements, while the community company’s volunteer board of directors run the Community Bank branch’s operations.

Profits are then shared between the Com-

munity Bank® branch and Bendigo Bank, and once all expenses are deducted, the remaining funds are injected back into the local community – something that really sets Community Bank branches apart from the competition.

In fact, across Australia the amount re-invested back into the community recently reached $148 million. And Hastings Community Bank Branch has now injected more than $300,000 into the local community, a figure that no other similar-sized business could generate in just seven years.

Become a customer of Hastings Community Bank Branch today and you’ll not only have access to great banking products and premium customer service, but you’ll also be giving back to your local community.

And with Bendigo Bank consistently recognised as Australia’s Business Bank of the Year, as well as Australia’s Most Reputable Bank, you’ll be joining one of Australia’s leading financial institutions.

So, if you’re not banking with Bendigo Bank already, join us and be part of something bigger.

Drop into Hastings Community Bank® Branch, at 88 High St, Hastings or phone 5979 2075 to find out more.

Benefitting from the bank: Community Group leaders at a recent sponsorship presentation.

Picture: Steve Dowling

But more than that, in the past seven years we have given back over $300,000 to the local community. That’s $300,000 to make our community stronger.

That’s because we are here for the long term. We believe in the future of Hastings and the power of a community that believes in itself.

WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. SWITCH YOUR BANKING TO US. We make it easy and hassle free. Ask us how today.

BUT IT’S BIGGER THAN THAT. You will be helping to build a stronger community.

IT’S SUPPORTING YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY Your Community Bank invests it’s profits into your local community, so just by banking with us you automatically become part of something bigger. Bigger than a bank!

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Parliament has say on conscription Compiled by Melissa Walsh 30,000 CASES of fruit has been despatched from the Somerville station during the month of March this season. *** THE “Wattles” Club will hold one of their popular socials in the Mechanics Hall on Saturday (22nd inst) in aid of Australia’s Sick and Wounded soldiers. *** AT St Paul’s Church, Frankston there will be services on Good Friday and Easter Day, when the annual Easter Offering will be made. For times see our advertising columns. *** THERE will be no meeting of the Frankston Progress Association on Wednesday next, owing to the Easter Holidays. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday 17th May. *** MR H. Anderson notifies by advertisement that he has commenced the practise of his profession as a dentist, at “Elgin”, Melbourne Road, Frankston, two doors from Beach Street. *** ON Monday evening the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall will be occupied by an up-to-date picture show, the proceeds of which will be devoted to the funds of St Francis Xavier’s Roman Catholic Church. *** A MEETING of members of the Frankston Football Club will be held

on Saturday evening, at 8 o’clock, in the Mechanics’ Institute, to consider the advisability or otherwise, of forming an association this year. *** MR Lester, shire secretary at Mornington, has been appointed town clerk to the Borough of Geelong West during the absence on leave of Mr H. G. Gibbs, who enters upon military training in the Geelong Camp immediately after the Easter holidays. *** MR E. McComb of Frankston, had a welcome Easter gift last Friday in the shape of one of the largest hauls of fish that has been caught by one man for the last 15 or 20 years, getting no less than 300 baskets of fine salmon, which he soon disposed of most profitably. *** TUESDAY next, Anzac Day, will be marked by special services at St Paul’s Church Frankston. The Holy Communion will be celebrated at 7.45 a.m in memory of those who lost their lives and in honor of all soldiers. At 11 o’clock there will be special intercessions and a short address. There will be no evening service, on account of the public meeting. *** THE Rev G. A. Kitchen who, for five years past, has been Vicar of St Paul’s Church Frankston, has announced his appointment by the Bishop of Riverina to the important position of Vicar of Hay, N. S. W. The Church at Hay is the Pro-Cathedral of the Diocese

of Riverina and this appointment is a considerable promotion. Mr Kitchen intends to leave Frankston during the second week of May. *** WE would draw the attention of our readers to T. R. B. Morton and Son’s advertisement in another column of an important auction sale of rich farm and orchard areas seaside blocks, etc in and around Red Hill, Shoreham and Flinders, on Westernport Bay, to take place at their rooms (72 Swanston St. Melbourne) on Friday 28th April, in the estate of the late Mr John Bayne.

The terms are easy, being one-fifth deposit, one-fifth in two years, balance in five years, with 5 per cent interest.

The sale will commence at 3 o’clock. *** THE residents of Somerville are reminded of the Jumble Fair to be held in the Horticultural Hall on Easter Saturday and Monday, in aid of the improvement fund of the Mechanics’ Hall. During the last year the committee have gone to a big expense in making additions and improvements to the old building, and the residents have now got a hall which is an ornament to the town, and it is up to them to show their appreciation of the efforts of the committee to unite and make the Fair next week a huge success, by giving their presence and patronage. The function opens at 8 o’clock on Saturday afternoon and at 7 on Monday evening. *** PENINSULA Football Association.

The annual meeting of the above association was held at Somerville on Friday evening, 14th inst. the following delegates being present :— Messrs M’Arthur, W’estley, Peters, Vansuylen, Thorne 1, White, Palmer, Young, and secretary, also Mr Marthur President. *** PARLIAMENT is to say whether Australia shall have conscription.

Theoretically that is a mere matter of course, but till the other day it seemed more than possible that the issue would be practically determined by the Caucus. Now, however, we have the assurance of Senator Pearce that Parliament is to deal with the matter, that it is not be a mere party issue.

Senator Pearce said a few words to an A.N.A. deputation which should be carefully considered. He remarked “A Ministry is always in a stronger position, no matter what action it takes, if the question has been thrashed out in the public mind.”

The Minister for Defence had in view the frantic opposition of a noisy wing of his own party to conscription.

When Melbourne celebrated its eight hours day, the chairman of the committee which entertained Senator Pearce indulged in a fierce attack on compulsory service, “which”, he said, “would reduce the masses to serfdom”.

On the same day in Bendigo, Mr Jensen, Minister for the Navy, attending another eight hours demonstration, had to reply to another fierce attack

on conscription, an attack made by the president of the local Labor League.

About the same time certain Militant Laborites were meeting in Melbourne, and were boasting that they would redeem Mr Fisher’s famous pledge of support the Allies by being the last man to enlist.

Two or three papers which voice the opinions of the extremists have praised the Hun, have sneered at our soldiers, have declared that to the worker it matters comparatively little whether Germany does or does not annex Australia. It may be said in airy way “These people are as few as they are noisy.” It has to be borne in mind, however, that they are enthusiasts, and that machine politics give enthusiasts power out of all proportion to their number.

On the need for conscription Senator Pearce threw a new light when he declared that 120,000 single men had set themselves down in black and white as unwilling to enlist. Of these no doubt many are unwilling only because they object to a profoundly unjust system of enlistment, which sends the best and the boldest to the front, and keeps the worst and most timid at home. When parliament deals with the matter, the battle will rage largely about conscription of wealth. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 April, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Real rivalries that deserve the big screen treatment

By Stuart McCullough FRANKLY, I can take it or leave it.

The idea of seeing Batman and Superman going toe to toe for a couple of hours fills me with little more than inertia. Granted, given that the movie is going gangbusters at cinemas across the globe, I am clearly in the minority. On paper at least, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ultimate alpha male showdown between men in tights. Which, I guess, might be entertainment of a kind. I suppose my problem with the concept is this: Batman and Superman may well get on each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nerves, but basically we all know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the same side. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bound to end up, if not friends, then at least having a begrudging respect for each other. (I should have preceded that statement with the words â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;spoiler alertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Sorry.)

Conflict is the cornerstone of storytelling. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we need movies based on real rivalries, where the enmity is palpable and falls off the big screen straight into your popcorn.

The filmmakers were confined to the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;DC Universeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and whilst thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not exactly a shallow pool, it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but limit the options. The next installment should look a lot further afield.

That way, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more likely to get something with a bit of grit, some real venom. To convince us to stump up twenty dollars to head down to the multiplex we need protagonists who genuinely hate each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guts.

Humphrey B. Bear versus Fat Cat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an open secret that when Fat Cat got pulled for indecency from the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s television screens following his controversial refusal to wear pants, it was the result of a not-so-anonymous complaint from another pants-free

character. Ever since Fat Cat trumped Humphrey at the 1983 Logies for the coveted award for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Best Performer In An Animal Suit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Muteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the two were engaged in a battle for supremacy.

This involved an early but ultimately botched attempt to have Fat Cat spade and an ugly incident in which Humphrey awoke to discover all his records scratched and that his rival had marked his territory in the most putrid manner imaginable.

All the superhero ingredients are present. Both characters have alter egos and fancy superhero suits. Whilst neither of them speaks, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regard this much of an impediment. Given that dialogue in these movies is pretty much superfluous, having a couple of

silent protagonists is not a disadvantage as much as it is taking things to their natural conclusion. I, for one, look forward to spending an afternoon in the dark watching these two settle their differences up on the big screen.

Karl Stephanovic versus David â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Kochieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Koch. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rivalry, to be sure, but one that is played out in two distinct universes that never meet.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the great thing about these kinds of films: you get to make worlds collide. Viewers shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to enjoy this simmering conflict by flicking between the channels. It should be presented to them in a unified fashion. Frankly, it almost wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter who had who in a headlock. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in this instance the

quarrel isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t confined to the hosts.

Like most people, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d often spent time wondering who would emerge from a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thunderdomeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-type competition between â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Blockyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the Cash Cowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of question that only a big screen movie can answer.

Thor versus the Hamburglar. Some might consider this a mismatch, but I genuinely believe that Thor can take it up to the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest criminal mastermind and, possibly, its most militant vegetarian (why else would he steal hamburgers?). It was always inevitable that one of the most fabled characters from the land of the gods should be pitted against Thor. Granted, Thor has a hammer, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wager that the moment he reaches for it is the mo-

ment is discovers that one Hamilton B. Urglar has already taken it from him.

Santa Clause versus Easter Bunny.

Talk about your grudge match. This is the one match-up most likely to be resolved by hand-to-hand combat, preferably in the car park at about three oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the morning. Santa, his eyes as red as his suit, would be in no mood for compromise as he moves in on the creature he refers to simply as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the varmintâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Christmas may well be one of the most celebrated days of the year but, for reasons no one can explain, Easter always gets a four-day weekend. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of inequity that can only be resolved through battle.

Donald J. Trump versus Foghorn Leghorn. I know, I know; on paper this looks like a complete mismatch. One is a two-dimensional cartoon character. The other is Foghorn Leghorn.

This would be a battle of strength as of wits, even though one of the combatants would be unarmed. Donald would get himself into a rhetorical lather before Foghorn would be forced to interrupt, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I said boy, I said son, I said boyâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; before giving the Trumpster the kind of verbal pantsing that we all know is desperately overdue.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cinema.

So to Batman and Superman: donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste our time with an incomprehensible CGI blizzard. Go get a coffee together. Go dancing. (You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell me that the ladies donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t still love â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the Batusiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) Settle your differences peaceably. And leave the big screen fighting to people who really canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand each other. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Premature celebration for Gulls – or was it?

PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt CHELSEA celebrated a win against Pines on Saturday at the final siren.

The goal umpires said it was a draw.

The two time keepers had the Seagulls booting 7.4 in the last quarter.

The goal umpires had them booting 7.3.

Pines coach Pat Swayne watched the replay of the final quarter on Saturday night after the match and thought that Chelsea had booted four behinds in the last term. Swayne shared that information with Chelsea coach Brett Dunne.

Dunne was quick to watch the replay and made his own determination.

Chelsea FC Football Manager Mason Stewart confirmed on Sunday that “we have viewed the vision and we have had put it forward to the MPNFL to consider”.

At the time of going to press, the MPNFL had not provided details of what process would take place and whether the result of the game could be changed.

Swayne said he was “gutted”.

“Umpires convene and compare scorecards at the end of each quarter.

They gave Chelsea three points in the last quarter and the replay clearly shows they kicked four behinds. The scoreboard was right and as far as I’m concerned, Chelsea won by a point,” Swayne said.

“We just were not good enough for long enough and we need to get better at that,” he said.

The scoreboard had Chelsea in front by a point at the final siren and the Seagulls celebrated as if they had won the game. Pines went into the rooms believing they had lost.

The umpires then declared it a draw.

Chelsea coach Brett Dunne said the game could have been lost in the third quarter.

The Gulls lost Ben Holman for the first 15 minutes of the third quarter and were forced to play with 17 men.

Pines took advantage and opened up a 33 point three quarter time lead.

Inaccurate kicking in the second quarter also cost Chelsea.

The Seagulls booted 4.9 to 2.2 in a dominant second quarter kicking with the breeze, however led by just two points at the main interval.

The Pythons took advantage of the strong wind in the third and doubled its score, going from 6.6 to 12.12 in

Omnishambles: The final siren marked a one point victory for Chelsea against Pines, but the umpires then declared it a draw. The review of the game by both coaches has confirmed Chelsea’s victory. Now it is up to MPNFL to decide what to do. Picture: Scott Memery

30 minutes.

Trailing by five goals at the final change, the Gulls were far from finished. The home side charged and got to seven points in front (according to the scoreboard) with three minutes remaining before Pines got one back.

The scoreboard said the Gulls were up by a point and accordingly, they

went into shut down mode. Pines continued to attack and had a shot for goal after the siren, only to miss everything.

While the Seagulls celebrated, the goal umpires convened in the middle of the ground, compared notes and changed the scoreboard to read Chelsea 13.18 (96) to Pines 14.12 (96).

Dunne was annoyed that his side let another game slip (it lost to EdithvaleAspendale last week by five points).

“To be in front and then to let it slip was disappointing,” Dunne said.

“It was a real positive that we were able to come back from 33 points down and it was a good effort but we should have won the game.

“Two points is better than none I guess but I would have liked the full four,” Dunne said.

Matty Baxter booted three goals for the Gulls and Dave Willett kicked three also to give him seven for the season.

Beau Caia has been a revelation in the opening two games with two three vote games for the Gulls. Caia is a 20-year-old solid, running defender who has come from Shepparton United to study.

Dunne said the defender “wins his own ball and makes really good decisions”.

Aaron Edwards booted four for the Pythons and Guy Hendry booted three while Beau Hendry and Paul Scanlon were two of their better players.

A lot was expected of the Pythons this season but results to date show they are not much better than 2015 when they were back with the pack.

Mt Eliza flexed its muscles again on the weekend and this time it was Karingal on the receiving end.

The Bulls were optimistic going into the clash but seven goals to two in the second half saw them go down by 63 points, 17.16 (118) to 8.7 (55).

Zallec White booted four for the winners while Justin Van Unen was out of ‘The Recruit’ house and finished with three. Timmy Strickland and Brodie Shaw were superb.

Tommy Wilkinson and Blake Simpson with three goals were the best of the Bulls.

Langwarrin were restricted to just two goals for the match against Frankston YCW, going down 18.16 (124) to 2.5 (17).

The Stonecats had 11 goal kickers while Byron Barry and Anthony Barry made it impossible for the Kangas forwards.

Sean Herdman and Mitch Porter (two goals) were the best of the Kangas.

Seaford caused the upset of the season to date, coming from six points down at three quarter time against Mornington to record a 15.9 (99) to 13.14 (92) victory.

Matt Andrews was the difference between the sides with five goals for the Tigers, while Mitch Finn and Josh Stokes dominated.

Jackson Calder booted four for the Doggies while Warwick Miller was again named the team’s best player.

Bombers fall to the ground with a thud NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON Bombers were brought back to earth with a thud after being thrashed by Somerville in Nepean Division on Saturday.

With wins against Pearcedale and Tyabb in the opening rounds of the season, the Bombers were confident about their chances against last year’s grand finalists.

However, the Bombers were never threatening throughout the match, were behind at every change and were blown away in the final quarter to go down by almost 10 goals, 18.9 (117) to 8.15 (63).

The scoreboard would suggest that the Bombers were always in the contest, until the final quarter, however, the reality was that they just didn’t have the contribution across the board to challenge.

Dale Sutton through the middle worked hard, Ryan Marks-Logan was superb in the back half, Josh Chapman ran hard and competed well and Michael Mairorino booted three goals and looked to be the only dangerous forward.

On the flip side, Somerville was in control and dominating in most areas of the ground.

Scott Simpson was clearly the best player on the ground with 28 possessions and more than 20 marks. According to those at the ground, Simpson should have nine league votes.

Timmy McGennis had 36 touches through the middle, Rowan Hogenbirk had 22 and booted a couple of goals and Jedd Sutton had plenty of it.

In attack, Ben Crowe (three goals), Tom Shaw (three) and Luke Rowe (four) looked incredibly dangerous.

In defence is where the game was won for the Eagles.

The back six of Luke Collie, Kane McKenzie, Ben Sedgewick, Jacob Wilson, Tim Hirst and Simpson were dominant. McKenzie smashed Beau Muston, Sedgewick dominated Zac Longham and Wilson, Collie and Hirst mopped up everything. The Eagles’ back six were as cool as ice.

Other than Mairorino, the Bombers didn’t look like kicking a goal.

The Bombers needed to find a spark and there was not one player that could provide it. Sam Fox booted seven against Tyabb the week before but didn’t give a yelp on Saturday. Muston spent the entire match at one end of the ground, had just 11 touches and didn’t inject himself into the game at any stage.

Nathan Lonie was left to do the ruckwork after Ryan Kitchen went down

with a hamstring.

The 54-point margin was a fair reflection of the game. The Eagles opened the door a few times by overusing the footy through the middle of the ground.

Frankston couldn’t make them pay.

The Bombers still have plenty of work to do, while the Eagles were going at 80 per cent and still won by nine goals.

Rye is on top of the Nepean ladder after once again highlighting the benefit of strong preparation with a convincing 31-point victory against Devon Meadows.

The Panthers led by two points at half time and trailed by just nine points at three quarter time, however, Rye booted six goals to two in the last, against the breeze, to win 16.11 (107) to 11.10 (76).

Meadows’ coach Glenn Michie said undisciplined acts, reversed free kicks and 50 metre penalties cost his side the win.

“A lack of concentration when it mattered most hurt us and we just couldn’t go with them in the end,” Michie said.

Matt Greig was on fire for the De-

mons, finishing the game with eight goals, while Ryan Mullett was superb and Matt Dunn again performed a shutdown role on the dangerous Steve Roberts.

Adam Kirkwood in game 151 also shone, along with Harry Witty, who has started the season in great form.

Pat Boland and Pat Harmes were the best of the Meadows, while Chris Doria booted three goals.

While the results said Michie and Boland were sent from the field, it proved to be an administration error.

Rosebud were humiliated on Saturday by Hastings, going down by more than 100 points, 20.11 (131) to 3.10 (28).

The Blues laid 104 tackles for the match, showcasing the supreme pressure that just didn’t allow the reigning premier any free run.

The dangerous Nick Boswell was shut down at half back for the Buds and was forced to move on to the ball to get a kick.

The coach Michael Kraska failed to kick a goal. He has just one major in three matches.

The Blues had nine goal kickers with Luke Hewitt booting four and Col McVeigh and Dale Alanis three each.

Mark Devereaux again dominated for four quarters. Josh Mulheron was also supreme and gave his smalls first use of the footy.

With wins against Sorrento and Rosebud, the Blues have announced themselves once again as a genuine threat to the title.

Crib Point is in a world of pain after losing its second ‘winnable’ game on Saturday, this time to Pearcedale, 16.16 (112) to 11.8 (74).

Magpies coach Taylor Stratton was extremely optimistic about his team’s chances early in the season, however, he would be having a long, hard look in the mirror right now and wondering what is going wrong.

Other than a competitive second quarter, the Magpies were never in the match.

Pearcedale were relentless and coach Jamie Merchan pulled the move of the year to date by putting Ben Mitchell to full forward. The man mountain known

as ‘Bear’ finished with eight goals, while Alex Harnett and Lachy Marshall dominated.

Red Hill did what it had to do and get the four points against Tyabb but it wasn’t overly convincing.

The Hillmen squandered opportunities early in the match and had 16 scoring shots to just three in the first half.

However, the Hillmen allowed the opposition to go toe-to-toe in the second half, booting eight goals to Tyabb’s six. At the final siren the score was 13.15 (93) to 6.6 (42).

Nick Walsh was superb for the Hillmen yet again at full back and Blake McCormack and Matt Dillon worked tirelessly.

In more exciting news for the Hillmen, they have picked up Tom McKinley from the VAFA, while Jake Mold is also returning and should play next week, along with Harry Larwill, who is back from suspension.

WESTERN PORT scoreboard

Hastings too strong for last year’s premiers HASTINGS FNC ON Saturday Hastings FNC were playing last year’s premiers in what was looming as a massive game for the club. The boys put in four strong quarters of contested football not seen at the club for a very long time.

It wasn’t about individual performances, just 22 players playing for the jumper with pride.

Our pressure at every contest throughout the afternoon was amazing. This set the club up to equalise our biggest winning margin against Rosebud FNC since 1959 with an outstanding 103 point victory in front of a very vocal home crowd.

Next Monday week the boys will be playing at home in our third Anzac Day game against one of our old rivals to honour the Anzacs. Let’s hope we get a huge home crowd to cheer on the boys in what should be a cracking game.

Our netballers again were very competitive against Rosebud FNC in there B & C Grade games with our players looking like they are really starting to learn the coaches game plan.

The netballers are not too far away from regularly winning games. This week they also will be playing on the Monday in the Anzac Day clash; the girls will come prepared to honour our past.

Seniors Report Another great win by the side. It was a big test for us with both sides coming off a big win last week.

The boys applied themselves so well

Strong performances by our younger players and our skipper were pleasing signs.

Best afield: Kyle De La Haye, Jay Austerberry, Kyle Robb.

Picture: Andrew Hurst at the contest and I was impressed with the way they prepared for the game.

We jumped them early and they had no answer from there. Like last week our pressure was unbelievable and our structures were really solid. I felt that it was another team effort and that the midfield had some real dominance.

Colin McVeigh played the best game I’ve seen him play while Josh Mulheron, Shaun Foster and Lance Brouwer were very solid as well.

I felt this week our whole midfield group needs a pat on the back they were awesome.

We set standards for ourselves to have 101 tackles for the game; the pressure is unrivalled.

The test now is to maintain our efforts and continue to improve. It’s a long season and while we are off to a

good start, we must maintain momentum.

It was a great all round team effort.

We now look forward to our Anzac Day clash against Frankston FNC. Reserves Report A very disappointing undisciplined first half left us five goals down at the main break, with a lot of work to be done.

After half time we found our game and were able to go toe-to-toe with yet another team tipped to go deep into the season.

Although we were outscored by a goal in second half a lot more positive signs were shown by our boys which gives us confidence that good things are ahead, we just need to work on our accountability and discipline.

Under 19s Report The Under 19s boys came up against a very strong and well drilled Rosebud FNC. In what was going to be a tough assignment for the Under 19s boys we were beaten by a very strong side.

As is always the case in the opening two rounds of season 2016 our two skippers really stood up over four quarters of footy with Shaun Hewitt and Kane Lewis showing outstanding leadership.

The boys need to learn that they must come ready to play from the opening bounce. The side is very competitive against the better sides in this competition and we look forward to seeing how we are going after the first eight rounds are finalized.

Next week we look forward to playing in the Anzac Day game against Frankston FNC in what should be a very competitive stoush.

Netball Report Next round we honour our beloved Anzacs.

This Monday we are at home playing host to the Frankston Bombshells.

Last week we were visited at home by the girls of Rosebud, as well as the wet and slippery conditions that came with a rainy day.

As a new (and inexperienced) team, our C Grade girls have been playing

consistently together.

We congratulate Monique Boer for her standout efforts in defence and Abbie Liddell, Siobhan Pretty and Tessa Cave for their noticeable efforts in the centre.

On to our B Grade Bluey’s. We saw improvement in our game this week, implementing focus points from our training and succeeding at times. This evident progress brought excitement to the B Grade girls, both starting and finishing the game strongly.

Unfortunately, adjusting to the wet court conditions, a challenge both sides faced, we made a high number of errors that ultimately let us down.

We hope to continue improving our games in all grades, executing skills and focus points worked in this week’s training. So watch this space to stay updated on what’s going on aboard the Blues Train. *** Next Home Game Hastings FNC vs Frankston FNC at Hastings. Anzac Day game, Monday 25th April.

Pies struggle against firing Pearcedale CRIB POINT FNC

fortunes around with a dominant display over the Pearcedale Twos with a 63 point win in the midday game.

The Twos didn’t blow them out of the water but they did chip away with four consistent quarters in one of the more even performances of recent times.

The most impressive aspect about the win was the defensive efforts of the side led by Brendan Phillips, Lee Koerner and Tim Cook who repelled every Pearcedale attack with relative ease.

Mitchell Kleinig chimed in with six and even the old foss Duane Annable gave a bit of spark in his first game in the black and white since being carted off after a hospital handpass back in 2013.

The Under 19s also atoned for their first round embarrassment with a 57 point win in the early game.

Like the reserves, the unders didn’t blow Pearcedale out of the water, they just chipped away and built a lead with a four quarter consistent effort.

Harri Dekleuver was best afield with Joey Smith getting it done with four goals from half forward. Joel Wisken also chipped in with three as Barn’s charges sung the song for the first time in 2016.

By Jared Newton WINS at Pearcedale for the Crib Point Football Club remain as rare as unicorns as the seniors experienced yet another failed venture down to Tractor Park.

The seniors were jumped in the first 15 minutes as Pearcedale came to play slamming four goals on the board before Crib got out of the blocks.

The seniors could not match the pressure and intensity of Pearcedale as they were given no opportunity to get any flow going throughout the day.

Pearcedale played their tight ground very well and never really gave the Pies a chance.

Even when Crib found themselves within a couple of goals, you always got the sense Pearcedale were in control.
