OUR ANZACS

Fort Nepean fires first shots of both world wars

By Chris Brennan THIS year marks one hundred years since the outbreak of hostilities that would avalanche into the optimistically dubbed “war to end all wars” and the prominent role played by the Mornington Peninsula in the events of 1914 is now the stuff of international legend.

A shot fired from an assassin’s handgun in Sarajevo was the catalyst that would propel the world’s great powers into the orgy of seemingly senseless carnage that would become The Great War. But it was a blast from the naval artillery guns of Fort Nepean on the south-eastern tip of the peninsula that would be forever recorded as the first shots fired by the British Empire in the war.

Given Australia’s enthusiastic embrace of military ventures in defence of “the realm” and considering the time difference that places Down Under the best part of a day ahead of our Northern Hemisphere allies, it is perhaps not all that surprising that the recently federated nation’s most formidable fortification should figure so prominently in the chronology of events rapidly unfolding mid 1914.

But what is truly astonishing is that those very same guns mounted at Point Nepean at the heads of Port Phillip would end up firing The Empire’s first shots of the Second World War as well.

Those two events – the first shots of both world wars – may enshrine the guns of Fort Nepean at the centre of world history on an academic level but the battle to recognise and preserve the historic site has been long and arduous.

It’s hoped the 100 year anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War will help galvanise recognition of the importance Fort Nepean and boost efforts to preserve and enhance one of the peninsula’s most important and iconic historical sites.

On the morning of the day the First World War broke out on 5 August 1914, there was only one German ship in Melbourne: the 6560 ton steamer Pfalz, a merchant vessel operated by German shipping company Norddeutscher Lloyd.

In the hours leading up to the declaration of war between Great Britain and Germany, staff from the German consulate in Melbourne were in a desperate race to get aboard the Pfalz to escape to their homeland

First shot of the war: The six inch guns at Fort Nepean.

and avoid impending arrest.

The cargo-laden steamer left Victoria Dock mid-morning ahead of schedule with its expanded passenger list of German VIPs intent on escaping through the heads and to the freedom of the open sea before the

now inevitable declaration of war.

Also on board was Australian Captain Robinson, an employee of the pilot service, whose duty was to safely guide the soon-to-be enemy vessel out of Australian waters.

But the ship would not make it

through the heads. Australian authorities were being updated minute by minute of the rapidly unfolding events in Europe and were well aware of the movements of the Pfalz and its high-value “cargo”.

OUR ANZACS Continued from Page 3 It was a race against time and tide for the Pfalz, but history was still on its side when the vessel was halted at Portsea by the SS Alvina.

With no legal authority to detain the vessel in lieu of advice of the outbreak of war, the Pfalz was permitted to resume its journey.

But just minutes later, at 11am local time, a message was received by the Australian Naval Board from the British Admiralty that war had now officially been declared.

The order came to the Fort Nepean gunnery crew to “stop or sink” the Pfalz. Signals were hoisted at Point Nepean calling on the ship to stop.

The Pfalz did not comply. A shot was fired across the ship’s bow from a 6 inch Mk VII naval gun mounted at Fort Nepean.

When that first shot was fired, Captain Robinson reportedly had some difficulty convincing the captain of the Pfalz that the next shot would be directed at the ship.

But Robinson won the day and the captain and crew of the Pfalz – no doubt in close consultation with their consular superiors - were convinced to comply.

The vessel was brought back to Portsea, where both ship and crew were placed under arrest. They would be recorded as the first German prisoners of the First World War. A member of the Fort Nepean gun crew wrote of the incident: “The tide was flowing very fast when we had the word to fire and I pressed the electrical trigger and saw the shot land with a splash in the water; the splash went right up over the bridge of the ship ... The last order we had was ‘stop her or sink her’.”

Captured: The SS Pfalz after being renamed the HMAS Boorara

As irony would have it, the commandeered Pfalz was quickly refitted and renamed, becoming the HMAS Boorara, which would soon carry Australian troops to Egypt and the Dardanelles in 1915 as part of the Anzac Day landing.

The requisitioned former German merchant vessel became part of the 2nd Australian convoy to the mideast, with subsequent duties including the transportation of Axis-allied Turkish prisoners of war.

Her dramatic run-in with the guns

of Fort Nepean was but a fore taste of numerous war-time adventures and misadventures.

While serving in the Aegean Sea in July 1915, the ship collided with the French Navy cruiser Kléber and was beached at Moudros before being taken to Naples to be repaired.

The ship was torpedoed twice in the English Channel in 1918 but was repaired on both occasions before serving perhaps its most useful role in transporting repatriated Australian troops home from England.

heritage Tavern & Restaurant

Twenty-five years later, the guns of Fort Nepean would again thrust themselves onto the world stage, firing Britain and the Commonwealth’s first “angry” shot of the Second World War. It was the only other time Victoria’s naval defences had ever been deployed in hostile action, though this time the target turned out to be “friendly”.

The date was 4 September 1939, and the Second World War had been declared only hours earlier.

Alas, this time, there was no fleeing enemy to confront. The mistaken enemy turned out to be the Australian freighter SS Woniora, a cargo vessel en-route to Tasmania, which had failed to respond to a recognition signal as it neared the mouth of Port Phillip Bay. A warning shot was fired from the very same pair of 6 inch Mk VII naval guns at Fort Nepean. The ship promptly identified itself. None-theless, history records the incident as the British shot fired in the conflict.

OUR ANZACS

From peaceful Mornington to the battles of France

Off to war: Leslie Coxhell in 1916.

By Cameron McCullough LESLIE Coxhell was a member of one of Mornington’s true pioneering families.

His grandfather arrived in the very early days of Mornington and, having fathered eight children and 43 grandchildren, by the time Leslie arrived the Coxhell name was well established in the area.

While life was by no means easy for people early last century, the little snippets of Leslie’s life growing up seem filled with sporting endeavours, religious practice and scholarly achievement.

The earliest mention of Leslie in the local newspaper is in October 1907 when the members of the St. Peter’s Gymnastic Club gave a social in the Mechanics’ Hall, As it was the end of the season for 1907, presentations were given to those members who had distinguished themselves most during the past year. In the juniors, Leslie Coxhell came third and was presented with a carved picture frame. It was recorded that “After refreshments Mr Schleebs put some very pretty records on his phonograph, which he had kindly lent for the occasion. After having sung Auld Lang Syne and the national anthem, a few tireless beings joined in a dance,

OUR ANZACS which concluded a very pleasant evening”.

A newspaper article from 1908 about the celebrating of the St Peter’s Sunday School anniversary talks about a large number attending with special hymns being sung by the children and “a most interesting and appropriate address” was given by W. Brett, Esquire.

On the following Monday evening “the children and their friends attended in the school hall, when a programme was rendered by the scholars, after which the prizes were presented”. One of the recipients was Leslie Coxhell.

On 1 December 1909 Leslie’s name comes up again, this time on the occasion of a Sunday School Picnic held at “Sunnyside”. The prize winners for the year were announced and Leslie was first in line for the boys.

At the end of 1910, Leslie was one of six students from Mornington State school who went up for their Merit Certificates. Five “passed creditably” including Leslie, an achievement which “reflects great credit on their head teacher”.

On 19 October 1912 the local newspaper reported “It is gratifying to learn that Master Leslie Coxhell (15 years of age)... of Mornington, was successful in passing the examination for the position of an assistant at the Mornington State Savings Bank and will take up his duties on Monday next. It may be mentioned that Master Coxhell was educated at the Mornington State School under Mr Ferber (the head teacher) and obtained his Standard Certificate at 11 and his Merit at 12 years of age. He was also successful in passing two examinations in the Postal Department, which reflects great credit on the school.”

Leslie Coxhell was just 19 years old when he enlisted on 12 July 1915. He had in his possession a letter that read as follows: “I the undersigned declare that my son Leslie Coxhell born in the year 18th March 1896 is given my full permission to go to war.” The letter is signed by his parents, Henry and Eleanor Coxhell.

A mere boy, he had been working as a railway porter at the time of his enlistment. It was noted on the form that he was of a sallow completion with grey eyes.

Leslie then went through training before departing Australia on transport ship Ceramic on 23 November 1915.

OUR ANZACS

Above: A captured German trench in Posieres, near where Leslie died, shows the utter destruction troops would have experienced.

Just three days before leaving Australia, Leslie’s younger brother, John Eric Coxhell, signed up for service aged just 18.

Leslie’s war records state that he was transported to Tel-el-Kebir in Egypt, 110 kilometres north-north-east of Cairo and 75 kilometres south of Port Said on the edge of the Egyptian desert. It was a training centre for the First Australian Imperial Force reinforcements and No 2 Australian Stationary Hospital, It was notable for its size with at some stage about 40,000 Australians camped in a small tent city six miles in length.

On 6 March 1916, he was taken on strength into the 46th Battalion, but by 16 April he had been hospitalised.

He was discharged from hospital on 26 April and rejoined his unit in Serapeum.

Serapeum was a three day March from Tel-el-Kebir and was part of the Suez Canal defence.

On 2 June 1916 he boarded the transport ship Kinfauns Castle in Alexandria and disembarked in Marseilles on 8 June.

Meanwhile, Leslie’s mother Eleanor was writing to the war office to try and find out why letters to her son had not been received. Younger son John, who was still in Egypt, had received letters, but Leslie had not. She wrote on 10 July 1916 “Could you find out if the letters are lying in Egypt and if so could they be sent on as they say a letter from home could mean so much to them”.

Leslie would have likely treasured word from home as the Western Front must have been a terrible shock to him.

He is noted to have been hospitalised on 23 July with cardiac weakness. This began a series of hospitalisations over the next two weeks. On 9 August he rejoined his unit from hospital, only to be killed in action later the same day.

OUR ANZACS Leslie was buried midway between Posieres and Martinpuich, 4.5 miles from Albert.

His personal effects were recovered and recorded as “Letters, an Religious booklets (3)”.

The effects were returned to the family in July 1917. Another package was to come in February 1918 that contained his identity disc.

War records show that Eleanor Coxhell was granted a war pension in November 1916, but she died in January 1918.

In September 1920, Henry Coxhell received the Star medal and in April 1924, the British War Medal for Leslie’s service.

A letter dated 12 December 1924 informed Henry of the final resting place of his son. Posieres British Cemetery, plot 4, row n, grave 3.

Things did not end as terribly for Leslie’s brother John. After being wounded in action in July 1916 with a gunshot to the chest, he was sent to England for treatment only to be returned to Australia in November 1916.

He was discharged as medically unfit, but re-enlisted in October 1917. A new notation was made on his second enlistment form under “distinctive marks”, simply stating GSW on chest. He remained in Australia for his second stint and was discharged in July 1918.

John Eric Coxhell featured in local newspapers over the following decade as a handy sportsman. He died in 1969.

Although Leslie’s mother died in 1918, his father lived until he was 80, dying in 1942.

OUR ANZACS The Coxhell pioneers, Thomas and Theresa LESLIE Coxhell’s grandparents were Thomas and Theresa Coxhell.

Thomas Coxhell was an early pioneer, who was born in Middlesex, England in 1825.

He married Theresa Anne Tynan on 17 September 1857 at St. Francis Church, Melbourne.

Theresa was born in Dublin Ireland in 1831, and arrived in Port Phillip aboard the “Western Bride” in 1855. Her passage had been paid for

by Mr. Balcombe of The Briars, where she had been contracted to work for one year as a Ladies’ maid for a yearly wage of twenty pounds.

Thomas’ first job in this area was as a bricklayer at The Briars.

In 1862 he purchased land at Osborne over-

looking The Briars and Balcombe Creek, and built a house where he and Theresa reared their eight children.

Thomas also worked as a brickmaker (second from right in the photo), using the waterholes on surrounding farms to make bricks to construct buildings for the owners.

When he retired, he and Theresa moved to Alfred Street, Mornington, where he died in 1905, aged 80.

He was survived by his eight children, 43 grandchildren, and eight great grandchildren.

His wife Theresa died two years later, aged 76.

Remembering the wounded

Early days: A photograph of the Brunning children with Ruby (born 1896), Florence (born 1893), George (born 1900) and Bill (born 1895).

By Peter McCullough ANYONE with even a cursory knowledge of Australia’s involvement in the First World War will be able to inform you that the death toll was about 62,000 (the precise figure was 61,966).

Less well known is that the “gassed and wounded” totalled 156,000 and that the subsequent death toll in the decade following the end of hostilities was 60,000, according to the Australian War Memorial website.

It is important to realise that the “wounded” did not include soldiers who suffered what in those times was referred to as “shell shock”.

When assessing returned soldiers for a war disability pension, many doctors rejected psychological explanations of war’s impact (what we now call post-traumatic stress disorder) and were suspicious about malingering.

Accordingly, many men returned to Australia physically intact but mentally destroyed and found great difficulty in settling back into civilian life; these men lived for the rest of their lives with the ghosts of Gallipoli or the Western Front.

The death toll of 60,000 in the decade after 1918 would surely have been much greater if these other “wounded” had also been counted.

At the time of the Great War, Australia’s population was less than 4.5 million while the number of men who enlisted was 416,809.

With such a large percentage of men of eligible age being involved, it was rare to find a family that was not touched in some way.

Local historian and author Leila Shaw is very familiar with the consequences of the conflict: both her father (Sapper Thomas William Brunning) and her father-in-law (Trooper William Shaw) were invalided home.

When both these young men enlisted, the

war had been in progress for two years. The Gallipoli campaign had come and gone. One wonders what prompted them to join up when they did. Horrific casualty lists were commonplace, and by this time no one went off expecting a picnic.

Fortunately both men were able to settle back into the local community and lead happy and successful lives as nurserymen/orchardists. I am indebted to Mrs Shaw for the information and photographs contained in this article.

Sapper Thomas William Brunning (No 16729) BILL Brunning, as he was more commonly known, was born in Somerville in 1895, one of three sons of John and Maria Brunning.

He was a descendant of one of the earlier families which came to Somerville as nurserymen and orchardists, settling in the area in 1866. Bill subsequently became a partner in the nursery business that exists today under the name of John Brunning and Sons “Somerville Nurseries”.

At the age of 22 years and eight months, Bill Brunning enlisted on 29 September 1916 and, after initial training, he embarked on the Orontes on 23 December, disembarking at Plymouth on 17 February 1917. His training in England was interrupted several times by illness, requiring hospitalization.

It was not until 8 September 1917 that Sapper Brunning joined the 1st Signal Company at Abbeville in

France. However, his stay at the front was short lived as he was admitted to hospital on 20 October and invalided back to England a month later with “jaundice”. His health problems appear to have kept him in England for the rest of the war and he departed for Australia on the Argyleshire on 9 December 1918.

It was a sad home-coming for Sapper Brunning for, while he was at sea, his mother Maria, aged 52, and his sister Florence, aged 26 and married two months, died as victims of the Spanish influenza pandemic.

In fact the Spanish flu followed the troops home and it has been estimated that in 1918 it alone killed another 12,000 troops. Bill Brunning returned to Somerville which by this time had become one of the

became very active in public affairs.

As you might expect, these included the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Horticultural and Agricultural Show, of which he was both president (192834) and secretary (1940-62), and the Somerville Fruit Growers Association.

Between 1942 and 1964, Bill Brunning was a member of the Hastings-Somerville RSL, serving a term as president. During the 1940s he was president of the Somerville Soldiers’ Welfare Committee and in a generous gesture he paid for the cool store space for all returned orchardist servicemen for the first year after their return from overseas.

Bill Brunning was a director of the Tyabb Cool Store.

In 1949 Bill Brunning donated the

largest fruit growing areas in Australia. Brunnings nursery, owned and managed by Bill and one of his brothers, George, was reputedly the biggest in Australia: it exported fruit and fruit trees to all parts of Australia and overseas to England, parts of Europe, Argentina, New Zealand, India, Burma, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Mauritius and parts of Africa.

During his years overseas Bill corresponded with a local girl, Beatrice Fraser, and they married in 1920.

Their family consisted of twin girls, Beatrice and Lilian (who lived for three days), Warwick (who lived for 14 months), and Leila. Beatrice married Keith Dawson and Leila married Gaza Shaw.

As well as his involvement in Brunnings Nurseries, Bill Brunning

OUR ANZACS land in Frankston-Flinders Rd, Somerville for an infant welfare centre, which was erected by the citizens of Somerville as a war memorial. This property was sold in 2012 by the Mornington Peninsula Shire to Aldi for a supermarket carpark, a decision that still rankles with many local residents.

Bill Brunningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Beatrice, died in 1939 and a second marriage produced a daughter, Helyn. Bill Brunning died in 1964.

Trooper William Shaw (No. 1565) Will Shaw was born in Maffra, Victoria, in 1890, the son of John and Frances Shaw. He enlisted on 18 October 1916 aged 26 and gave his occupation as farm labourer of Willesden Rd, Oakleigh. His father was listed as next-of-kin at the same address, but at some point over the next two years this was amended to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tyabb PO.â&#x20AC;?

On 15 December 1916 Trooper William Shaw of the Camel Corps November 1916 Reinforcements embarked on the Vestalia.

A little over a month later they disembarked at Suez where, following time with the 1st and 4th Light Horse Training Regiments, Will Shaw was taken on strength with the 4th Light Horse.

Letters to family members dated 23 March 1917 stated:

OUR ANZACS “I am still going strong and feel splendid. Don’t address Camel Corps any more; its cut out...

The new Brigade went out the other day, and we are likely to follow any time now.”

On the reverse was a photograph of Will and his two mates on camels with the Sphinx and a pyramid in the background. A second letter stated: “...been for a trip to Cairo and had a rattling good time, out at the Pyramids and all over the place...”

A letter to his brother, Rod, dated 18 April stated: “...at the front now, we arrived here at 2am Sunday-some big bombarding going on over the last couple of days-aeroplanes are pretty active...I don’t feel a bit afraid, Rod. I think I will get through alright-don’t forget the 4th Light Horse.”

William’s next letter, dated 28 July 1917 stated: “We got orders to saddle up and put all our equipment on this morning, horse feed and all.

We thought we were off out for a big fight, but it was only a false alarm...lined up ready to move, the General came along and inspected us..he said we mustn’t go out short of anything, for it

will be a five days severe battle they reckon. I hope I have the luck to pull through alright...”

Trooper Shaw suffered a setback in October when he was hospitalized with septic sores in the groin. On 1 November he was transferred to the Convalescent Depot and in a letter to family the following day he was quite optimistic about the future. He stated: “I didn’t like leaving the front to come here , but I couldn’t ride for the septic on my thigh-an awful lot of men got them, nearly every scratch used to turn septic.

I think it’s too much bully beef and not enough vegetables.” Unfortunately the problem persisted, and Trooper Shaw was moved to various hospitals, not rejoining the 4th Light Horse until 11 January 1918.

In his letter of 2 November 1917 Will Shaw sent Christmas wishes to his family and expressed the hope that he would be with them again for the following Christmas. He did get back to Australia before the next Christmas, as he had hoped, but it could easily have proved otherwise. Overnight on the 30 April/1 May

OUR ANZACS

The next generation: Gaza pictured his his father Will, mother Alice and little brother Malcolm as he prepared to leave for New Guinea in 1942.

1918 Australians and Turks opposed each other near the River Jordan, west of Es Salt, poised for battle.

In Volume VII of The Official History of Australia in the War of 1914-1918 (The Australian Imperial Force in Sinai and Palestine) historian H S Gullett wrote: “The situation was uncomfortable. Grant had only about 800 rifles available for the firing line.”

Grant and two other senior officers were descending the hillside behind brigade headquarters, after a 7am reconnaissance, when “...rifle and machine-gun fire burst suddenly from the whole front, and in a few minutes it was clear that the Turks were attacking in great strength...

“Wave after wave of infantry in open order, and very boldly led, debouched from the mudhills and struck straight across the plain... To the north the 4th regiment was being forced further into the hills, and by 8.30 o’clock the enemy, advancing down the plain, were close to the Es Salt track.”

By this time, Trooper William Shaw lay wounded on the battlefield. He was delivering a message to the Australian Mounted Divisional Head Quarters in Es Salt when his right knee was shattered by a gunshot. This happened at about 8am on the morning of 1 May 1918, but Will Shaw lay out there unattended for several days before he was brought in. By this time the wound

was crawling with maggots, but they were feeding on the infection and this saved him from blood poisoning.

Trooper Shaw was transferred from a Casualty Clearing Station to the 47th Stationary Hospital on 12 May 1918.

Service records show that the next-of-kin were regularly advised of William’s condition and it would have been a worrying few months for the Shaw family back home: on 20 May his condition was reported as “serious”; two days later he was “dangerously ill.” In a tent hospital in Gaza several attempts were made to control the gangrene and one evening he overheard the doctor telling a nurse “This one will not survive the night.” William survived-and vowed to call his first son “Gaza” in appreciation of his life! On 30 May the leg was amputated above the knee, and it was three more weeks before William was off the “dangerously ill” list.

On 3 August 1918 Trooper William Shaw embarked on the Karoola for Australia. He disembarked on 4 September and was discharged from the AIF in Melbourne on 20 December 1918-just in time for Christmas as he had hoped!

When he was discharged, Will Shaw lived with his parents on the Mornington-Tyabb Road in Moorooduc. As well as the usual problems faced by soldiers returning from war, he had to come to terms with the loss of a limb. It was

not long before he made the acquaintance of Alice Lilian Reeves, the daughter of William and Elizabeth Reeves who lived nearby. On 20 August 1921 they married and settled at “Karoola” on the Mornington-Tyabb Road, Tyabb: Will could not forget the ship that brought him home!

Despite his artificial leg, Will Shaw managed ably on his 20 acres, and became a very successful orchardist, largely working the property alone.

Between 1922 and 1939 Will and Alice had five children: Dorothy, William John Gaza, Neville, Linda and Malcolm. The first son was given the name of his father, his grandfather, and an eternal reminder of the desert conflict.

Universally known as “Gaza”, he married Leila Brunning and was a local builder; amongst many others he built the home that William and Alice retired to in Tyabb in 1952.

Daughter Linda married a local orchardist, Bill Lillywhite, and she, too, has lived locally all her life. Two of the Shaw family were in the forces during the Second world Was, including Gaza who served in New Guinea and Bougainville with the 10th Field Company of the Royal Australian Engineers.

Although he suffered from phantom pains all his life, Will Shaw was never heard to complain. With a happy disposition, he worked hard on

OUR ANZACS the farm chores like a man with both legs. He also participated enthusiastically in community matters and, at various times, held the positions of Secretary of the Tyabb Primary School Committee, the Tyabb Scout Committee, and the Tyabb Recreation Reserve.

He was a Trustee of that Reserve and also of the Tyabb Methodist Church. Will was a long-time member of the Hastings-Somerville R.S.L. and he donated to many charities including the Tyabb Hall which was rebuilt by his son, Gaza.

William Shaw died in 1970 and his wife Alice in 1975.

 Footnote: Examination of the detailed army records

of a number of original ANZACs reveals one interesting point: although they lacked nothing in courage or enthusiasm, they were somewhat lacking in height. The two soldiers in this story, both country boys used to hard manual work, are typical: Sapper Brunning was 5 feet 5 3/4 inches (167 cm.) and Trooper Shaw was 5 feet 6 ½inches (169 cm.)

A comprehensive history of the Brunning family will appear in the Western Port News later this year.

Later in life: Will and Alice in their later years. Will died in 1970 and Alice died in 1975.

George says thanks: The certificate of appreciation awarded to William Shaw for his sacrifice.

OUR ANZACS Skeletons in the cupboard WILL Shaw was born in Maffra, one of eight children. His father, John Shaw, was born in Harris, Scotland, in 1855, came to Australia with his parents (John and Margaret) in 1856, and died in Tyabb in 1923. In 1877 he married Frances Ann Robertson in Maffra.

She was the daughter of Thomas and Grace Robertson (nee Scoullar) and was born in Tasmania in 1857.

Many years after her death in Tyabb in 1942, research by family members found that the parents of Frances Ann Shaw (nee Scoullar) had arrived in Australia as convicts and had led fascinating lives.

Whether Frances was aware of any of this is unknown.

Her father, Thomas C. Robertson, was born in the East Indies (Indonesia) circa 1814 but subsequently lived in Edinburgh. Aged 15 and homeless, he stole a penknife and 15 shillings. For that he was sentenced in 1831 to 14 years imprisonment in Van Dieman’s Land (Tasmania).

In Australia he was given hard labour in a road party for using bad language and disobeying his mas-

ter’s orders, and spent three months on the Grass Tree Hill chain gang. In 1839 he was fined 5 shillings for drunkenness and later spent three days on the treadwheel for the same offence. Six years later, while on ticket-of-leave, Robertson stole four pairs of trousers and was sent to Port Arthur to serve an additional seven years.

While Robertson was serving his sentence, 24 year old mother of four, Grace Scoullar, was standing trial in Kilmarnock, Scotland, in 1847 for stealing blankets and a patched bed cover. Sentenced to seven years in Tasmania, it is believed that she never saw her children again.

In 1851 she met Robertson and they applied for and were granted permission to marry, but authorities deferred their marriage for six months because of her prior conviction for insolence. They married in Hamilton, Tasmania, later that year.

After serving their sentences the couple moved to Maffra where they raised five children, including Frances. Thomas and Grace both died in Maffra: Thomas in 1891 and Grace three years later.

Left: Maffra in the 1880s, around the time when Will Shaw’s parents lived there.

When you see an absolutely astounding property that you like, do your utmost to obtain it. This is sure to be the case for this incredible Seaford property, where come the fall of the hammer on auction day only one lucky buyer will be the beneficiary of the care and creativity that has been poured into this beachside treasure. Solidly built, with a pleasant neutral facade, the interior has been brilliantly refurbished, with a thoughtful and tasteful colour scheme mixed with bright splashes of colour. The well designed and versatile floor plan starts with a separate entry leading to a formal lounge and dining room, which would easily convert to a home office and kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rumpus room if required. An elegant kitchen has a large island breakfast bar with black granite benchtops that beautifully contrast against the Travertine tiles - that are also found in the bathroom, and stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher and wall-oven. Polished floorboards gleam in the natural light through the many windows of the dining and family area, which also boasts ducted heating and evaporative cooling, and opens out to the fabulous undercover entertaining area with an outlook across the flat, well-grassed backyard. There are three bedrooms all with builtin robes, including the larger main bedroom that also has an ensuite with double shower.

The family bathroom has a spa bath. Within walking distance to a host of schools and beach access track also close by, this is a wonderful family home privately set behind a high fence with security gates and intercom. Outbuildings include a double lock up garage plus garden shed, all positioned on an easy-care 674 square metre allotment.

OUR ANZACS

Age no barrier to Kokoda return

By Michelle Kapnoullas St John of God Frankston Hospital IN 1941, Alan Moore was only 20 years old – a newly promoted lieutenant in the 39th Battalion – when he was sent to Port Moresby to defend the airstrip and halt any Southward Japanese advance. There were approximately 1000 Australians against 3000 Japanese.

Alan attended Melbourne Grammar School and during his time there, attended four years of cadet school, where he became a cadet lieutenant.

It was because of his cadet knowledge that he was promoted to lieutenant at such a young (the youngest officer to serve in his battalion).

His platoon of 33 (18-19 year olds) along with the rest of the battalion sailed the Aquitania from Sydney to Port Moresby.

Alan travelled in the honeymoon suite – however it was with 14 other young lieutenants. The convoy of ships took 4.5 days to arrive at their destination.

As the battalion prepared to be taken to the campsite, they were informed their supplies were at the bottom of the cargo and would therefore take several days to unload.

So they marched seven miles in the scorching heat to Seven Mile Drome where the sargeant pointed to a place on the side of the hill and told them to set up camp – without any of the following: tents, mosquito nets, building equipment, medications or decent food.

During the first week, without proper supplies and equipment, many of the men suffered from dysentery and malaria. Alan was unfortunate to suffer from dysentery him-

self, but did not get malaria. Finally their supplies arrived.

The men spent many hours unloading ships and preparing defences – unfortunately when the new senior officers arrived, they informed them they were setting up the defences in the wrong place and had to start again.

The Japanese landed in Rabaul – New Britain and set up airfields and a naval base. During the day and night they continually bombed the area where Alan’s Battalion was based. Alan said they would wait for the bombers to leave and would then jump out of the holes they were hiding in the shoot, using First World War Lewis Guns (machine guns) at the Zero strafing planes that would follow the bomber planes. They even managed to shoot a few down.

After Kokoda, the Japanese established themselves in the northern beaches of Papua New Guinea. Alan recalls this being the worst part of the war for him. The Japanese had positioned themselves in the beach and the Australians had to walk through swamp land to get to them (more soldiers died from disease and

dysentery than from combat).

Alan was evacuated when he became very ill. He has no recollection of being transferred to the Australian General hospital in Port Moresby.

Alan spent a total of three years in Papua New Guinea (two campaigns).

He was transferred to another unit when he got back to Australia as the 39th Battalion was disbanded due to casualties.

Twelve months after the war, both of Alan’s parents passed away. He stayed in the family home in Camberwell on his own, until he met the love of his life – Joan. They married three months after meeting each other, had two daughters, moved to Mount Eliza in 1955 to enrol their daughters in Toorak College and were married for 51 glorious years.

They have five grandchildren ranging in age from 30 – 18. Sadly Joan passed away 12 years ago.

Over the years, Alan has been an active member in school committees and is one of the two past two-year members of the Canadian Bay Club.

Alan keeps active, walking half a kilometer every day into Mount

Eliza Village to have coffee with friends. Two weeks ago, Alan came down with a severe gastric attack and became quite ill. He arrived at St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital as an inpatient, to help him return to maximum strength to prepare for his trip back to Kokada in August this year. He is participating in physiotherapy sessions to improve his balance and coordination and improve his walking endurance.

Alan will be joined by his two daughters in Kokada for Kokada Day on 8 August. His granddaughter will also meet them there after walking the Kokoda trail.

“I never thought I would get another opportunity to go back to Kokoda, but I’m so happy I am,” Alan said.

Alan is extremely happy with St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital and said “I am staggered at the high quality of the equipment here. I couldn’t speak more highly of the staff, they are well selected. The food is the level of a top class restaurant and we are terribly lucky to have this establishment in our area.”

OUR ANZACS

The mystery of a Frankston recruit

By Peter McCullough MY brief was to provide a short biography on a First World War Anzac who enlisted in Frankston.

This didn’t seem too difficult an assignment: I looked up “Mapping Our Anzacs” on the internet and discovered that 33 people enlisted in Frankston between 1914 and 1918.

The only name that rang a bell was Lewis Cole, one of the three Cole brothers from Tyabb who went overseas, but I did a feature article on them in the 2012 Anzac Day special edition.

That left 32 to choose from. One of those was William Victor Murray Grainger. With three given names he sounded interesting. Besides, I wondered, could he be related to the composer, Percy Grainger?

I brought up his details on the computer and it wasn’t long before I appreciated how difficult it can be for an historian to track some of the original participants in the AIF. As can be seen, the official papers reveal that, during the course of the war, Private Grainger changed his details to such an extent that he caused a heated dispute to break out between the adjutant at the camp and the records office.

The original papers show that this 21-year-old labourer, who was born in London, enlisted on 17 September 1914 (only days after war was declared) and provided the following information:

PAGE 46

Western Port News 22 April 2014

1. NAME: William Victor Murray Ireland 2. NEXT OF KIN: Elizabeth Ireland, 29 Quadrant Grove, Maitland Park, London.

3. RELIGION: R.C. So what changed in the following few years?

1. In early 1916, at the request of the soldier, his name on the payroll was changed by the adjutant at the Australian Base Camp at Weymouth from Ireland to Grainger. The Adjutant did not follow proper procedures and received a “blister” from the OIC records who pointed out that his actions “contravened paragraph 1901 of the King’s Regulations”. Subsequently, on 27 March 1916, Private Ireland submitted a statutory declaration indicating that he was now Private Grainger.

No reason was given for the name change.

2. At some point, the soldier’s “next of kin” was changed to Mrs M Grainger of 16 Oakford Rd, Suffolk Park, Highgate, London. Presumably this change was made following the submission of a marriage certificate dated 6 November 1915 concerning the marriage of William Victor Murray Grainger (aged 21) of 29 Quadrant Grove, to Mabel Laura Holt (21) of 72 Wellesley Rd. The marriage took place while the soldier was convalescing in London following a severe bout of influenza. He was already using

Clearing station: A hospital in Etaples much like the one William would have been admitted to.

the name “Grainger” and his given address was 29 Quadrant Grove, which was the same address as his original “next of kin” (Elizabeth Ireland). One wonders whether he knew Mabel before he came out to Australia, or was this a whirlwind wartime romance?

3. Private Grainger’s religious denomination was changed from Roman Catholic to Church of England.

Perhaps this was a consequence of

his marriage to Mabel? While all of these changes were keeping the OIC records on their (no doubt highly polished) toes, Private Ireland/ Grainger had not been idle.

He embarked from Australia as a member of the 6th Battalion on 2 December 1914, returning on 2 December 1918.

The years in between were spent at Gallipoli where he suffered a rifle wound to the chest (8 May 1915) and

then severe influenza (1 September 1915) necessitating his despatch to England to convalesce (and marry).

On 28 May 1916 he rejoined his regiment in France at Etaples and completed his war experience in hospital as a result of being gassed and wounded (31 August 1918).

One can’t help but wonder whether Private Grainger’s life as a civilian was as colourful as the years he spent in uniform.

OUR ANZACS

A look at the Nazi mystique BOOK REVIEW

By Peter McCullough ABOUT 30 years ago, British publisher Paul Hamlyn visited Australia and was interviewed on television.

He related the story of a budding writer, fresh from a course at the local polytechnic, who obtained an appointment with Hamlyn and enquired “I want to write a best-seller: can you suggest a topic?”

The publisher explained that bestsellers were rarely novels but topics of general interest. In the case of his company, the best sellers were books on Hitler, cats and golf – in that order.

Twelve months later, the young writer was back. He pushed his manuscript across the desk and Hamlyn glanced at the title: I Played Golf with Hitler’s Cat. He was not impressed.

Although Hamlyn’s story may have been apocryphal, the fact remains that books on Hitler and the Nazi era are still appearing frequently on the best-seller lists.

The hysteria that swept Germany in the 1930s and 1940s still mystifies us today, just as it mystified our parents and grandparents in those times.

How did a man who was an obscure failure until his thirties become the most powerful dictator of his day?

When Hitler became chancellor in 1933, six million Germans were unemployed. Within three years, there was full employment. To many Germans, he was a miracle worker.

Yet his sinister attributes were always present: his brutal views on race; his thirst for war; and his obsession with expanding Germany’s borders. His anti-semitism would ultimately lead to his downfall, as he divided his resources between the war and the persecution of the Jews.

As the persecution intensified, the Jewish citizens, who were invariably loyal Germans and many of whom had fought in the First World War, wondered where it would end.

In Two Brothers (see below), one of the main characters reflects on the

situation that was puzzling the rest of the world: “...Paulus, like every half-civilized person in Germany, Jew or Gentile, had hoped that somehow, one day, a line would be drawn. That the steady erosion of all humanity towards the ‘race enemies’ would reach its nadir. Deprived of rights, property, dignity, security. Yes. But murder? Mass murder? Surely not. That couldn’t be.

Nobody. Nobody would do that.

Least of all the sons of Bach, Beethoven, Goethe, Schiller, Mozart, Bismark, Gutenberg and Luther.

Murder all the Jews? ALL of them? It couldn’t happen And yet...”

If you, too, are fascinated by the Nazi era, there are three recent novels that you might care to choose from for some reading over the next month or so. Coincidentally, all three novelists have been motivated to write by an actual event.

Alone In Berlin

By Hans Fallada SET in Berlin in 1940, a city paralysed by fear, the story tells of one man who refuses to be scared. Otto Quangel, an ordinary German who

is the foreman in a furniture factory and who lives with his wife (Anna) in a shabby apartment block, tries to stay out of trouble under the Nazi rule. But when he discovers that their only son has been killed fighting at the front he is shocked into an extraordinary act of resistance and starts to drop anonymous postcards attacking Hitler across the city. If caught he will be executed.

Soon his silent campaign comes to the attention of ambitious Gestapo inspector Escherich, and a murderous game of cat and mouse begins.

The end result is inevitable.

Fallada’s novel, evoking the horror of life in Germany in the war years, was first published in Germany in 1947. However it is “new” to us as it was not translated and published in English until 2009.

According to the foreward in the first German edition, the novel follows “in its broad lines” the Gestapo files on the illegal activities of an actual Berlin working class couple, Otto and Elise Hampel. Originally Nazi supporters, on the death of their son in France in 1940 they began to deposit postcards and some 200 written leaflets in post-boxes and stairwells around their home district. They were betrayed, arrest-

ed, sentenced to death by the People’s Court, and executed.

All That I Am

By Anna Funder WHEN 18-year-old Ruth Becker visits her cousin, Dora, in Munich in 1923 she meets the love of her life, the dashing young journalist, Hans Wesemann, and eagerly joins in the heady political activities of the militant left in Germany. Ten years later Ruth and Hans are married and living in Weimar Berlin when Hitler is elected Chancellor of Germany.

Together with Dora and her lover, Ernst Toller, the celebrated Jewish poet/playwright and self-doubting revolutionary, the four become hunted outlaws overnight and are forced to flee to London. Inspired by Dora, the friends risk betrayal and deceit as they dedicate themselves to a dangerous mission: to inform the British government of the very real Nazi threat to which it remains wilfully blind. Funder portrays what dangerous work this was, particularly given that the Gestapo was active in London, something the establishment would not believe at the time.

This part of the novel is based on a real-life mystery: in 1933 the bodies

of two German emigres were found in a Bloomsbury bedroom-locked from the inside-in an apparent suicide pact. In the novel the inquest seems a sham, not so much because the Crown is colluding in some high-level cover-up, but because the assertions of the dead women’s friends seem impossible nonsense.

“All That I Am” is the heartbreaking story of these extraordinary people who discover that England is not the safe haven they think it is, and a single chilling act of betrayal tears them apart.

Some 70 years after the events Ruth Wesemann is an elderly German woman living out her days in Sydney, making an uneasy peace with the ghosts of the past, and a part of history that has all but been forgotten. One morning in 2001 she receives in the mail a tattered old notebook addressed to her by Ernst Toller who committed suicide in New York in 1939. The notebook had apparently been unearthed in the basement of a condemned New York hotel, and when Ruth reads it the memories come flooding back.

Funder became a friend of the real-life Ruth Wesemann in Ruth’s later years in Sydney, and her notes on sources indicate how closely she tried to base the novel on what is known. At the same time the book is more than “faction”; she has successfully transformed the material into a narrative of individual endeavour and survival, one that examines intricate human themes.

This was the first novel by Melbourne-born Anna Funder and won the Miles Franklin Award in 2012.

Her previous publication, “Stasiland”, won the Samuel Johnson prize.

Two Brothers

By Ben Elton THIS is a heart-rending story of two boys growing up in a Jewish family under the darkening shadow of the Nazi regime. Born in Berlin on 24 February 1920, the same day as

Family affair: Ben Elton’s uncle Gottfried (left) and his father Ludwig Ehrenberg.

OUR ANZACS the birth of the Nazi party in Munich, and raised by the same parents, one boy is Jewish and his adopted brother is Aryan. At first their origins are irrelevant. But as the political landscape changes they are forced to make decisions with horrifying consequences. The brothers end up on opposite sides in World War Two-one with the Waffen-SS, and the other with the British army.

The author, Ben Elton, is perhaps better known as the comedian who wrote the scripts for Blackadder and The Young Ones. The story is to a certain extent based on Elton’s own family. His uncle was

born Gottfried Ehrenberg to a secular Jewish family which fled Germany in 1939. After anglicizing his name to Geoffrey Elton the uncle enlisted in the army, later became a prominent historian and received a knighthood.

However, a cousin, Heinz Ehrenberg, who was adopted (an Aryan) stayed behind to work the family farm when his parents fled the country. He was subsequently drafted into the Wehrmacht. After hostilities ceased the two cousins discovered that they both served in Italy and at one point fought within a mile of one another.

Divided: Ben Elton’s ancestors ended up on opposite sides with one uncle fighting for German and one for Britain.

OUR ANZACS

And the band played on BOOK REVIEW

By Peter McCullough THE Great War seems to have a special fascination for Australian writers and historians. The occasional book on Kokoda or Tobruk notwithstanding, these historic offerings are swamped by tales from Gallipoli or, more recently, the Western Front.

As 2014 marks the centenary of the outbreak of hostilities, the steady stream of First World War books can be expected to become a flood.

Generally speaking, the books from the Great War are either historical accounts (such as Les Carlyon’s The Great War), first hand accounts by old Diggers (Somme Mud by E P F Lynch) or biographies (John Monash: A Biography by Geoffrey Searle). It is a rather crowded field and an author, wanting to take advantage of the burgeoning sales, would be inclined to look for a new slant or aspect.

Such is the case with Robert Holden whose book And the Band Played On relates how entertainment lifted the Anzac spirit in the battlefields of the First World War. Life in Australia in the first decade of the 20th century was significantly different to what we know today: playing the piano, singing, performing or reciting poetry were all staples of family life. Accordingly, young men arriving at the front were soon asked if they could sing, or play a musical instrument, or even tell a good yarn.

Each of the 60 battalions had a brass band which would lead the troops to their locations at The Front, playing favourite songs such as Tipperary and Pack Up Your Troubles.

Some battalions also had a mouth organ band or a band with the drums and fifes. The

OUR ANZACS bandsmen were still expected to fill their roles as soldiers and were often allocated the job of stretcher bearers; at Pozieres in 1916, of the 16 stretcher bearers allotted to 24 battalion, only 4 were still in action on the second day. The company bugler exercised his skill at dawn and sunset and, all too often, at burials.

Impromptu entertainments, singa-longs, storytelling, and recitations were all part of the homespun repertoire that accompanied the Diggers into war. Many carried with them simple instruments such as the mouth organ, Jews’ harp, tin whistle or concertina.

The Australian Diggers were sometimes referred to as “the singing soldiers’, such was their propensity to burst into song. As well as all the favourites, they also sng parodies, some of which could be sung at welcome-home concerts and some which were best left at the front. It probably took decades for a young woman who grew up in Armentiers to summon the courage to disclose her place of origin!

The poet C J Dennis was popular with the troops and his 1916 verse narrative The Moods of Ginger Mick drew attention to the Diggers fondness for song: They were singin’ on the troopship, they were singin’ in the train; When they left their land be’ind ‘em they was shoutin’ a refrain, An’ I’ll bet they ‘ave a chorus, gay an’ glad in greetin’ for us, When their bit uv scrappin’s over, an’ they lob back ‘ome again...

In the immediate pre-war years, the gramaphone was supplementing the piano in many households. It was easy to transport and large numbers made their way to the front.

Between August 1916 and February 1918, the Australian Comforts Fund distributed 120 gramaphones and 2880 record to the 5th Division on the Western Front.

Similar quantities were sent to the other four Divisions. Decca even manufactured a portable version known as the “Trench Model”. The gramaphone was particularly popular in hospitals and convalescent homes.

As time went on the importance of entertaining the troops was recognized and

special troupes were formed. These included the Anzac Coves, who estimated they performed in front of more than 150,000 Australian troops, and the Coo-ees. Their success led to the formation of five field Vaudeville theatres which was one for each division.

However concert party entertainers were still fighting soldiers and there were occasional casualties: two members of the Anzac Coves were lost in February 1918 when the company’s scenic artist, Corporal Andrew Brittlebank, and their pianist, Lieutenant Andrew Anderson “were blown to pieces”. Being soldiers themselves, the performers quickly established rapport with

Why Anzac Day is important for your kids SOME would argue that Anzac Day is losing its importance, but as a mother of three, I do not believe this to be true. For me, keeping the Anzac spirit going is a sign of respect.

Respect is defined as “a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.” We use Anzac Day as an opportunity to teach our children respect for what has been and respect for others.

Anzac Day commemorates sacrifice, it shows mateship at its finest and it is part of what has brought countries together. For our children, it opens their eyes to see how people work together.

It demonstrates that even though something horrible was happening, by working together, they were able to get through.

Our children hear about war, they hear about conflict, they hear about death. Anzac Day gives us as parents the opportunity to talk openly with our children and help them process, understand and appreciate what has come before, what is happening in other parts of the world and for

the society we are lucky enough to live in.

Each year, put some time aside with your family to observe the tradition and ceremony of Anzac Day. For some it could be attending the dawn service, for others it could be watching the march. You could simply set aside some time to make a batch of Anzac biscuits and researching their history online.

With each opportunity that we have to demonstrate respect, we have an opportunity to help our children develop. Each time we observe a tradition, our children appreciate what has come before. For every child that participates in the day, they feel the pride of being part of a community. This Anzac Day help your child to understand, appreciate and respect this important part of our Australian heritage.

The tradition of Anzac biscuits dates back to World War I, when the women of Australia sent them to their sons, husbands and brother serving in Gallipoli. As they were hard and long-lasting, they were perfect to survive the long journey by sea. They are a great recipe to make with your kids to celebrate Anzac Day. Ingredients: 1 cup rolled oats 1 cup plain flour 1.5 teaspoons bi-carb of soda 125g butter 3/4 cup coconut 1 cup sugar 2 tablespoons boiling water 1 tablespoon golden syrup

Method:  preheat oven 160 degrees (fan forced) or 180 degrees.  combine rolled oats, sifted flour, sugar and coconut.  combine butter and golden syrup, stir over gentle heat until melted.  mix bicarb soda with boiling water, add to melted butter mixture.  stir in dry ingredients.  place dessert spoon size balls of mixture onto lined oven trays – allow room for spreading.  bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.  loosen on trays while warm, then leave on tray to cool and harden.

Makes approximately 36 biscuits.

Played on Good Friday at Shark Park in ordinary conditions for football, the Eagles booted eight goals to one in the final quarter to win 13.7.85 to 7.8.50.

The match was played on the terms of the team kicking with the wind.

The Sharks took advantage of the wind in the opening quarter and booted four goals to one to lead by 19 points at the first change.

The visitors hit back in the second quarter, booting four goals to two

behinds to take-in a one goal break at the major interval.

It was the third quarter where the Eagles set-up the win.

The Eagles played tight, disciplined football and the result was restricting the Sharks to just two goals in the premiership quarter.

Whilst the Eagles didn’t score themselves, their ability to stop the Sharks taking advantage of the fourgoal wind was the key in the victory.

The floodgates opened in the final term, the Eagles winning the ball in the middle of the ground and the forwards having plenty of supply.

Edithvale kicked 8.2 to 1.2 in a dominant final term.

This week, Bonbeach has the tough

task of heading down to the kennel to play Mornington.

The Sharks will be keen to bounce back while the Doggies will be looking to play better football than they did against Karingal two weeks ago.

On that occasion, the Dogs were prevented from playing free flowing footy and got sucked into a scrappy affair.

Mornington was expected to improve this season and we will only take them seriously if they can beat the likes of Bonbeach.

Meanwhile, Edithvale hosts Seaford at Regent Park. The Eagles will be flying after coming off this great win against Bonbeach and will have no issues beating the Tigers.

Langwarrin faces its toughest task to date when it hosts Mt Eliza. The Kangas have won their opening two matches, which wasn’t out of the ordinary. Beating Karingal, who has lost 14 regular senior players from last season, and then getting over Pines, was a pretty easy start to the season for the Kangas.

The Redlegs had their colours lowered by Frankston YCW two weeks ago and will enjoy the fight of another tough contest against the Kangas.

If Langwarrin is to be considered as a final five side this season, it has to beat the Redlegs.

Frankston YCW and Karingal is usually a fantastic game of football.

This Saturday, it will be terribly one

sided.

The Stonecats are in fantastic form early in the season while the Bulls are still finding their way.

Expect Ricky Morris to kick another big bag of goals for YCW. The best match-up in this game will be Ash Eames up against Grant Goodall.

In the final game, Chelsea is a big chance to win two games on the trot when it heads to Pines.

The Gulls just need to keep Jamie Messina in check and stop the influence of Beau and Guy Hendry. They are becoming dominant forces. Jake Prosser will be a welcome return to the Piners also and will no doubt get a runwith role.

Demons come to play on Good Friday NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RYE registered its first win of the season on Good Friday when it led all day to beat Rosebud at Olympic Park.

In tricky windy and wet conditions, the Demons came to play after a strong week on the track and poor form against Dromana in round one.

Rye led at every change and won a low scoring game 9.18.72 to 9.11.65.

Both sides squandered opportunities in front of goal, albeit the conditions were tough.

According to Rye Football Club legend Scott Beel, the club was disappointed with its output in Round one and was keen to make amends against one of its biggest rivals.

“We had a real crack on Friday and played really tight footy,” Beel said.

“Holmesy (coach, Ben Holmes) coached the boys really well through the week and we were able to execute it on game day.

“Our press worked really well and I thought we worked really hard when we didn’t have the footy,” Beel said.

Rye outscored Rosebud when they kicked against the breeze in the first and third quarters, which really did set-up the win.

Rosebud went into the game without prime movers in Greg Bentley and Daniel Giarusso, while Ben Shutlz was also missing from the team.

All three players suffered hamstring injuries at training, believed to be as a result of a weight program.

Rye run with player Sam Smith was back to his best for the Demons, keeping quiet Brenton Payne, while Jai Lloyd booted three goals after being moved forward after suffering a knee strain.

Ben Holmes injured his ankle in the last quarter and is expected to miss a couple of matches as a result.

Sorrento sits in 10th position on the Nepean League ladder after suffering its second defeat for the season on Easter Saturday.

It would be more than 10 years since the Sharks have been outside of the top five after two rounds of football.

They are yet to win a game after losing to Red Hill in the opening match of the season.

The Sharks suffered their second defeat of the season against Dromana, the club that beat them in last year’s grand final.

Despite five goals from exciting forward Leigh Poholke, the Sharks were never able to get close enough to strike the Tigers, losing 13.16.94 to 15.17.107.

The Tigers got away to a great start, booting six goals to three in the opening quarter. They were able to maintain that break at every change.

The Tiger’s stars were at their best - Paul Minchington, Christian Ongarello, Andy Kiely, skipper Jay Neratzoglou and Steven Gaertner all dominating, while Anthony Bruhn finished with four majors.

The Sharks face another uphill battle this week against Rosebud.

Teams line up for Anzac clash ANZAC ROUND

By Toe Punt Nepean League football will be played over two days this weekend to celebrate Anzac Day. Somerville will host Pearcedale and Hastings will tackle Frankston Bombers on Anzac Day (Friday), while the other four matches will be played on Saturday.

Hastings will be keen to bounce back after a disappointing result against Rosebud two weeks ago.

After a superb performance in round one, the Blues were expected to put up a real fight against Rosebud. It may have been the shot in the arm the Blues needed, even as early as round two.

Nepean League is a tight competition and any lack of concentration will see you overrun. With an influx of new faces at the Blues, they may have thought it was going to come easier that it did.

Frankston Bombers had a sensational victory against Pearecdale in their last match and will keen to show that this wasn’t a flash in the pan.

The Bombers also boast a lot of new faces from the team last year and if their good players are up and going, they are always a chance.

Somerville needs to kick goals, which won’t be easy against Pearcedale.

The Panthers should have beaten Frankston Bombers and its one that got away. This too

should be a close encounter, however, it’s hard to see the Panthers losing.

There are some sensational matches on Saturday.

Sorrento and Rosebud both played over the Easter weekend, the Buds having an extra day’s break.

Rosebud will again be without Giarusso, Bentley and Shultz. They cannot beat Sorrento without these three players. They are vital cogs in the Buds’ machine.

Devon Meadows hosts Rye in what should be a great battle.

No Ben Holmes evens the ledger, although the Demons do get back Jake Semmell and Andrew Dean. Adam Kirkwood and Rhett Sutton are at the peak of their powers. No doubt the Devon boys would have been at Rosebud taking a sneak peak.

Devon is going to be a team that continues to improve and if it is to be taken seriously this season, it needs to beat or go very close to Rye. Dromana and Crib Point will be another cracker.

The Magpies have been superb so far this season and will only get better when Tim Churchin and Glenn Boyd come into the team. There is also a bit of depth at the nest too, which keeps pressure on the top 22.

Dromana may have lost a lot of players in the off-season but there are still some stars running around. It will be a cracking contest.

ANZAC Day Local Football and Netball Hastings Football Netball Club will host Frankston Bombers at home for the ANZAC Day clash.

Gates open at 12 noon with all the football and netball action kicking off at 1pm. Special ANZAC Day tributes at 3pm before the main game starts..
