SPECIAL COMMEMORATIVE EDITION

Anzac beats terror Casey Councillor Rosalie Crestani said the “tough Australian spirit” would continue to defy “anyone who wants to destroy our heritage, way of life and peace”.

She said the spirit exhibited by Anzacs to “stand up against terror” was still evident today.

This weekend, thoughts will turn to those who died or survived over the past century’s military campaigns at Anzac Day services at Berwick, Cranbourne and Pakenham.

The tradition starts with the historic Gallipoli campaign on 25 April 1915, itself the first wave of extraordinary carnage that ripped the heart out of many Australian country towns in World War I. Townsfolk farewelled their young men as they embarked to fight in far-off foreign lands, surely knowing that many would never again pull on their boots and play country football; never return to their jobs as butchers, bakers, grocers, farmers or printers.

They would never marry; never father children and never be comforted by the warm embrace of their mother’s arms.

Some 100 years after the historic landing at Anzac Cove, this week’s News is dedicated to stories of those fallen, honouring and remembering the locals who gave so much.

Lest we forget.

DEFIANT crowd undaunted by terrorism’s spectre huddled among tight security to honour the fallen at an Anzac Day service on Wednesday.

The Endeavour Hills ceremony was one of this week’s Gallipoli centenary commemorations which will now be held in the shadow of an alleged terror plot in the south eastern suburbs.

In Pakenham, defiant RSL president Gary Elliott urged people to turn out for Saturday’s services.

On Wednesday, nine fully-armed police in high-visibility vests - and a semi-trailer carriage conspicuously parked between the cenotaph and Heatherton Road - flanked the 100-strong crowd who shivered through the sombre ceremony.

It had a poignant backdrop, the spot where accused teen terrorist Numan Haider attacked police and was shot last year was visible just 100 metres away.

Days earlier, counter-terrorism raids foiled an alleged terrorism plot by teenagers out to kill police officers at Saturday’s services.

Narre Warren North MP and Roads Minister Luke Donnellan praised the strong turnout and security detail.

“It was good that people felt a desire to ignore any threats. It’s important to celebrate the bravery of others who fought for our freedom.”

Anzac stands firm

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS AND LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE presidents of the Pakenham and Berwick RSLs have moved to reassure the local community after an alleged terrorism plot targeting Anzac Day services in Melbourne’s south-east was foiled by police.

Pakenham RSL president Gary Elliott urged people to treat this year’s commemorations the same as they would any other year.

“We have had no inkling of any issues like that in this area,“ he said.

Mr Elliott said police would be attending the Pakenham service, but not in any greater numbers than in previous years.

“I know the police will be attending, but it should be the same as any other year.“ Berwick RSL president Ray Heathcote said local Anzac services would go ahead as planned this Saturday and would not be affected by reports of the alleged terror attack.

“We always have safety in mind when organising these events each year,” Mr Heathcote said.

“So nothing needs to change this year - except maybe extra refreshments for the huge numbers expected to attend.

“All members of the community of all persuasions are welcome to

our Anzac commemoration services.”

The reassurance comes as three teenage men were charged after a 200-strong joint state and federal police counter-terrorism team executed seven search warrants in Narre Warren, Hampton Park, Hallam and Eumemmerring on Saturday morning, as part of Operation Rising.

Police in Britain also arrested a 14-year-old in the UK on Saturday believed to be connected with the alleged Islamic State-inspired terror plot in Melbourne.

Reports surfaced this week that there was a terrorism plan involving possibly using a car to run over a police officer at an Anzac Day service, attacking the officer with an edged

weapon and shooting with the officer’s firearm.

It has been suggested that it could involve a number of services in the south-east.

Premier Daniel Andrews confirmed on Tuesday that it would be alleged multiple Anzac Day services were potentially being targeted and that “edged weapons” were involved.

“That related to a specific threat to police members and by extension other members of the general public,” he said.

Mr Andrews urged Victorians to show strength and unity, and “shatter all records” at Anzac Day services on Saturday.

“Just as the police did us proud on Saturday morning (during the raids) I know and I am confident that Victoria Police will do everything possible to keep us safe.”

Following the raids on Saturday, Harun Causevic of Hampton Park and Sevdet Ramdan Besim of Hallam were charged with the federal offence of conspiracy to commit acts done in preparation for, or planning, terrorist acts.

Causevic, 18, had been placed in custody without charge for three days under a preventative detention order up until Monday night - the first time such an order had been exercised in Victoria.

A Narre Warren man, 18, has been released on summons for prohibited weapons charges.

Two other Narre Warren men, aged 18 and 19, have been released from custody.

Besim is scheduled to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Friday; Causevic will appear on 30 April.

Casey Mayor Mick Morland also urged the community not to be deterred from attending Anzac services on Saturday.

“I would encourage 100 per cent of the people to come out,” he said.

“It’s 100 per cent safe and I’ll be there with all of them as well.”

Police on scene as they wait for a heavy haulage vehicle to remove the tipped truck.

Driver safe after truck tips

By ANEEKA SIMONIS THE driver of a truck that tipped on its side in Pakenham on Wednesday has escaped uninjured, police say.

At about 10am a truck carrying a heavy load of dirt was being slowed to a stop on a nature strip outside an industrial worksite on Bald Hill Road.

Cardinia Highway Patrol Senior Constable Gemma Hamilton said the weight of the truck, together with the wet, unsteady ground below, caused it to roll over onto its side into a ditch.

The driver, who was the single occupant of the vehicle, was uninjured.

The truck was also undamaged.

Heavy haulage trucks arrived on scene at about 10.30am to lift the truck.

Casey Multifaith Network president JIM REIHER released a statement this week following reports of alleged acts of terror planned for Anzac Day services in Melbourne

Saner counsel should prevail that kind of passion into good pathways? Things that seek to do good in the world, not harm? That seek to bless others, not curse them? We feel for the parents and friends of these young men.

We want them to know we are grieving with them, and praying for them. And we know that what these young men were alleged to be plotting is not reflective of the high ideals of Islam.

Doing evil and randomly hurt-

ing others is not the religion of Australian Muslims.

It is as horrid to our Muslim neighbours as it is to the rest of the community.

Please do not stereotype your Muslim neighbours because of the tragic alleged extremism of some idealistic and misdirected young men. We have a wonderful multicultural community. Let us not allow incidents like this to undermine it.

of the police and any community members who helped avert a terrible act. If it is true, we surely must grapple more with how to prevent our young people from being so badly radicalised.

Brothers lost in the fog of war Thomas and Patrick Fahey

By DANNY BUTTLER

The Pakenham Cemetery headstones marking the lives of Thomas and Patrick Fahey, both killed on the Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Western Front. 133752 where his remains lie. The rest of his brief soldier’s life is contained in a few poorly-typed lines on official army forms.

From his 2 November, 1915 departure from Sydney on HMAT Euripides – appropriately named after the writer of Greek tragedies - Thomas’s life is

captured neatly in a two-page summary.

It tells us that, after a bout of mumps in Abbassia just before Christmas 1915, he was transferred between battalions, ending up with the 5th Pioneers based at the Egyptian training camp of Tel-El-Kebir.

There’s no record of active service, just a forfeit of two days’ pay for being absent without leave for 24 hours in February 1916.

In June that year, Thomas boarded the “Canada“, crossing the Mediterranean from Alexandria to Marseilles. It was his last sea voyage.

1180544-AM16-15

FOR every hero lauded during the Anzac Day centenary, there will be another thousand Thomas and Patrick Faheys.

There are no chapters in military history books devoted to the exploits of these unfortunate former students of St Patrick’s, Pakenham. No larrikin movie characters based on the doomed brothers. No myths. No legends.

Their warrior legacy is a pair of headstones in Pakenham cemetery, broken bodies forever lying in foreign soils and a meagre paper trail that ends with three heart-wrenching words sent to their widowed mother.

“Killed in action“ for 27-year old Thomas. “Died of wounds“ for his little brother.

For Thomas, death in the firestorm of the Western Front was catalogued by a cold bureaucracy remarkable only for its brevity and lack of detail.

He may have fallen charging an enemy machine-gun to protect his mates or died weeping in a freezing trench as German shells rained down from the leaden skies above France.

Maybe no-one saw him die. Maybe those who witnessed his last moments were also swallowed up by Europe’s tide of death.

Killed in Action was all there was.

We know how he left Australia and

From there, he almost certainly would have taken a troop train north, ending his journey in the infamous trenches of the Somme near the Belgian border.

More than one million people were killed or wounded during the Battle of the Somme. It was one of the bloodiest battles in the bloody history of mankind and achieved next to nothing.

A German officer wrote of the Somme that “the whole history of the world cannot contain a more ghastly word.“ It was in this nightmare of mud and blood that Private Fahey spent the last months of his short life - dying “in the field“ on 18 November, 1916 – the Battle of the Somme’s final day.

Over the following months and years, a trickle of information arrived for his widowed mother at her home in the slums of Carlton.

A telegram announcing Thomas’s death was followed by his meagre possessions, two pounds in pay that he was owed and a letter confirming the location of his grave in the Quarry War Cemetery near Montauban, France.

Much later, medals were issued.

Records show the 1914-15 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal were sent home in coming years.

Less than a year after Thomas died, Private Patrick Fahey was the family’s second sacrifice to the insatiable Western Front.

In the previous two years, official records catalogue a run of wounds and illness that had seen him hospitalised, but sent back to the front line each time.

of “blackwood and Queensland oak� was unveiled.

Among the dead were A. Clancy, T. Dywer, T. Halloran and Thomas and Patrick Fahey, all of whom “made the supreme sacrifice� during the previous three years.

Speaking to the gathering, Father Mernor, who was reportedly new to the district, captured the young nation’s patriotic fervour that saw so many boys like Thomas and Patrick churned into bloody “heroes� of the Empire. “This was true patriotism. That Australians were patriotic was shown by so many laying down their lives. All were proud of their achievements,� he said. “We all regretted the loss of our brave men, but their loss was proving our gain as it but needed this baptism of blood to cement all creeds and classes.�

Arriving at Marseilles in June 1916, he joined the 5th Pioneers - the same battalion as Thomas died with.

Within two months of arriving in northern France, Patrick was shot in the buttocks and shoulder and transferred to England to recuperate from the serious wounds.

Four months later he was discharged from hospital and marched back to the front, possibly joining Thomas for his older brother’s last weeks on earth.

A year later he was admitted back to a field hospital with scabies, a highly contagious infection caused by mites that were rampant in the trenches during the warmer months.

Rejoining his unit, Patrick crossed the border into Belgium where his luck finally ran out.

Shrapnel penetrated his thigh and abdomen on 15 October, 1917. A day later, he died of the wounds at the Canadian Clearing Station in Belgium.

Private Patrick Fahey was 25 years old.

Like his brother, there’s no official record of how he died. Just a handwritten sheet, later typed out neatly, that he “died of wounds, in the field, Belgium.“ Mary Fahey received Patrick’s worldly goods a year later. A wallet, notebook, diary, religious book, cards, letters, metal ring, disc, photos and scapulars were all that remained of Mrs Fahey’s second lost boy.

With the war still grinding on, Pakenham’s St Patrick’s Catholic School was already honouring its old boys who served in the war, including two more Fahey brothers, Edward and James, who appear to have survived the trenches.

On 26 April, 1918, the Pakenham Gazette reported on a ceremony at the school in which a “huge� honour board

Sons and daughters of Anzac

Dandenong RSL official piper Ian Arrell.

NDEAVOUR Hills cenotaph hosted one of its strongest recent turnouts at Wednesday’s Anzac Day service.

A 100-strong throng of dignitaries, veterans, students and other onlookers stood in respectful silence for the service staged by Dandenong-Cranbourne RSL Sub-branch.

Carolyne Pettit, an Anzac Day regular of Narre Warren, watched her 310 Regional Cadet Unit daughter stand as part of the cenotaph guard.

She says she cast her thoughts at her late father-in-law - a former active member of Dandenong RSL and “proud” march flag-bearer - and her grandfather - who served in the navy during World War I. Another Vietnam veteran - his chest gleaming with medals - said he remembered his military comrades.

“It’s important as a day of remembrance for everyone. There should be more of it.”

Questions linger Arthur's medals (the British War Medal and Victory Medal) on a letter written to him by his mum.

Gunner Walter Sinclair

By BRIDGET SCOTT

W

HEN Beryl Craig reflects on the time she spent with her father, she wished she had asked more.

“He didn’t talk much,” but Arthur Walter Sinclair held a soft spot for his youngest of three who he affectionately knew as ‘Scruff’.

“You remember a lot as you age - there was a lot I wished I had asked,” the Cranbourne woman said.

His quiet and reserved nature was well warranted, after he was deemed totally and permanently incapacitated (TPI) upon his return from World War I. Young and naive at just 18 years of age, nothing could have prepared the Brunswick-born boy for what he would endure after he enlisted on 22 February 1916.

A gunner as part of the 14th Field Artillery Brigade, 2nd Reinforcements, it was over a year after he had arrived overseas that Gunner Sinclair was badly wounded and forced to spend a year in a rehabilitation centre.

In 1917 Gunner Sinclair was shot in the leg and taken to Etaples where he remained for a while before he was moved to a rehabilitation centre in a London hospital.

The injuries sustained by the soldier impacted the rest of his life and Mrs Craig can remember attending ceremonies on Anzac

Day with her own father unable to march.

While Mrs Craig’s memories of her father’s experience overseas are scarce, she can still recall the few times he opened up to his family.

“He used to tell a story of when he was in the trenches, sitting around the fire with his fellow troops with their singlets out, trying to get rid of all the lice,” she said.

As with most families during the war, letters were exchanged from one side of the world to the other, and Mrs Craig has held on to one which her father received from his own mother.

“He who laughs last laughs best,” his mother told him during a warning against giving into “temptations” while at war.

Urged not to drink by his mother, Mrs Craig believes years of smoking killed her father at the young age of 67.

“He was encouraged to smoke - the effects killed him,” she said.

Prior to this her father, a qualified tuckpointer struggled to return to work after the war.

“There wasn’t a lot around, it seemed unfair,” she said.

Life was never easy for the Sinclairs, with Ms Craig herself born at the beginning of the Great Depression after her parents married.

However she will never forget her father’s quirky sense of humour which still remained intact.

Buried at Nillumbik Cemetery in Diamond Creek, her father’s service wasn’t Mrs Craig’s only connection to the war.

With sadness she recalled her great uncle, Robert Hector Sinclair, who remains as one of many soldiers with no known grave.

On 25 April 1915, Mrs Craig’s great uncle was killed in action.“He was 34 when he joined up and had no family,” she said.

“He had a hard life, he must have felt at the time that nobody wanted him,” she said.

Robert Sinclair is one of 3268 Australians commemorated on the Line Pine Memorial in Turkey.

With a strong connection to WWI, Mrs Craig said it was important to remember the meaning behind Anzac Day. “It’s not a celebration, it’s a remembrance,” she said.

“What a waste it was.”

Words behind the losses set in stone Lance-Corporal Rupert Bethune

By BRIDGET SCOTT

N

O KNOWN grave - a distressing term used to describe the hundreds of soldiers who fought for their country, yet never came home.

As if families didn’t suffer enough over the loss of their loved ones, how did they cope when their bodies were never returned home?

Rupert Bethune, a Cranbourne State School student, was one of these soldiers to be left behind on the battlefields, never forgotten by his mother Anne Meade when he was killed at only 27 years of age.

A private in the 21st Battalion, 8th Reinforcements, when he first enlisted, Rupert died as a lance-corporal serving in the 59th battalion on 19 July 1916.

He remains buried in France along with around 3000 other Australian soldiers who were killed on the Western Front during the battle of Fromelles.

The 60th Battalion was almost totally wiped out and the 59th nearly

suffered the same fate.

The morning after the disaster of Fromelles, the Western Front has been described as “looking like a butcher shop.”

Thomas Clair Whiteside, a Beaconsfield orchardist, was also in the 59th Battalion.

He sent letters to home from the battlegrounds which were published by his daughter in the volume ‘A Valley in France.’

Tom was wounded in the head when he was sent to Fromelles shortly after his training was complete in Egypt.

He wrote about his experiences from a hospital bed on 28 July, just a week after when he was still on the danger list.

It read: “The first lines fare the best - for the terrible machine-gun is deadly once he sees the game is properly on. It looked like putting up cardboard nine-pins in a hurricane - only it was human beings who were facing up to it.”

“Often wonder what happened to many a chap I passed lying helpless in the grass. For my part I was stronger and had all my wits about me and it was only through acting on every inspiration that, with God’s help, I got out of it.”

Gallipoli quilt is a comfort T

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

HE Cranbourne Uniting Patchworkers along with the St John’s Anglican Quilters have created more than just a quilt in honour of this year’s Anzac Centenary.

The piece of community artwork is four metres wide by two and half metres deep and with 4888 two inch squares making up the Gallipoli landscape, the statement quilt has been a long time coming.

“I call it a vision I had in August 2013 - but I knew I couldn’t do it by myself and with enough interest we could create the Combined Cranbourne Quilters,” Cranbourne Uniting Church priest and quilt designer Wendy Snook said.

With more than a year’s worth of planning, collecting, painting, sewing and cutting, the banner size quilt has jaws dropping.

The team of 10 contributors used Derwent Inktense pencils and painted many of the tiny squares themselves.

“It has been a bonding and learning experience with the group of ladies, many of whom hadn’t used fabric like paint before using the water colour technique and they can now use it themselves in the future,” the Reverend Snook said.

The intricate and mesmerising quilt will be toured around Victorian RSLs and taken to Perth in July for a national assembly at the University of Western Australia.

With the Cranbourne cenotaph printed onto fabric and stitched into the design, the quilt is as beautiful as it is meaningful with small crosses stitched into the landscape in honour of fallen soldiers.

Pensions for families of the fallen

N

Dianne Mitchel, Carmel Perkins, The Reverend Wendy Snook, Lorraine Jaques, Rosemary Kreun and Annie Picture: GEORGIA WESTGARTH Loft were the driving force behind the artwork. 137718 “The quilt is quite significant, a lot of my congregation were not as aware of some of the stories from the war and the quilt helps to bring the past into the present,” she said.

The design of the banner-like quilt includes a silhouette of a bugler at sunrise and a soldier at sunset, symbolising the

then and now, as the quilt reads ‘1915 Gallipoli 2015’.

Reverend Snook said she would like the quilt to become a talking point for people to take the initiative to learn about their own families’ stories and the history of the war.

“My hope is that we learn from the

CELEBRATING

past and never repeat it, if we remember it so we don’t do it again, we’ve certainly achieved something,” she said.

The bespoke community art piece is set to take its home at the Dandenong Cranbourne RSL and Reverend Snook said she is very pleased with the response she has received.

EWSPAPERS were key to the recruiting effort in Victoria during World War I.

The frontlines in Turkey and Europe needed a continual supply of new soldiers to replace those killed and wounded.

On 28 October 1915, the South Bourke and Mornington Journal, which at the time also circulated to what is now the City of Casey, reported on the penions payable to widows on the “death of member of the forces, or to a member on total incapacity“.

Per Annum Lieutenant... £91 Sergeant... £70 Corporal... £68 Private... £52 “In addition, on the death or total incapacity of a member, for each child under 16 years of age, £13 per annum.

“In cases of total incapacity the wife, in addition, receives half the rate specified above for the respective rank.

“Pensions are payable also to other dependants.“

Dream garden is reality T

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

HE Pearcedale Public Hall almost runs in secretary Maureen Smollen’s veins and her dream for a memorial garden next to the hall has finally come true.

“It’s been a dream of mine for many years,” she said.

“My mother was baptised in the hall in 1919 and I’ve been connected with the hall since the mid-’90s.”

With a big chunk of Ms Smollen’s family history linked to the Pearcedale Public Hall it was only fair she be made the boss of the construction and design of the garden.

“Everything had to go through me,” she said.

Left in good hands, the memorial garden has come up a treat with a plaque that reads the names of 28 local WWI veterans and Ms Smollen couldn’t be happier with the final result.

“I’m overwhelmed with the way it came up, the whole thing fits together nicely, the path is made out of cement but has been stencilled with different shapes and different colours,” she said.

The garden, pathway and plaque took about six months to complete and was helped along by a $9000 grant from the Federal Government.

Ms Smollen is hoping to add garden seats, more plaques in honour of WWII soldiers and a fence around the commemorative garden.

Ms Smollen is hoping members of the community will turn out in their hundreds to see the finished project and smell the rosemary.

On Anzac Day the Pearcedale Public Hall will hold its annual dawn service followed by a dedication service of the memorial garden and breakfast.

“We had around 600 people attend the dawn service last year and are expecting more this year,” Ms Smollen said.

“Last year we noticed more children coming which is just wonderful,” she said.

The memorial garden at the Pearcedale Public Hall will be officially opened on Anzac Day.

A dream come true for Maureen Smollen and Tony Vagg. 137795

Digger passes Private Jack Telling

W

HEN he died at his Cranbourne home in 1963, Gallipoli veteran Jack Telling was surrounded by “many old Diggers and Gippsland friends" according to the Dandenong Journal.

Jack died suddently at the Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital in May 1963, just weeks after being admitted. He was 67.

John Stanley Telling was born in Hay, NSW, the son of James Telling.

He later moved with his parents to Ballarat, where he completed his schooling and signed up for war on 19 April 1915. He was assigned to the 5th Battalion, 7th Reinforcements.

The 5th Battalion was among the first infantry units raised for the AIF during the World War I. Like the 6th, 7th and 8th Battalions it was recruited from Victoria and, together with these battalions, formed the 2nd Brigade.

At the time of his enlistment Private Telling was a single labourer of the Methodist faith.

His service record shows that he contracted influenza while on duty at Gallipoli in November.

By January 1916 Private Telling was in hospital in Egypt. Just weeks later the decision was made to return Private Telling to Australia.

Jack worked on the Victorian Railways as a fitter and turner. He retired due to ill-health in 1942 and then became licensee of the Woodside Hotel.

After passing on the hotel licence to his son, Jack “lived quietly in retirement at Cranbourne“ where he joined the Cranbourne RSL. He was survived by Lillian and two sons, Ted and Jack, and nine grandchildren.

Family destroyed by battle N LESS than a year the Great War claimed the lives of both the Kent brothers.

The first of the Narre Warren siblings to perish in battle was Alfred Ernest Kent, killed in action on 5 May 1916, four weeks after the Lance Corporal had sailed from Alexandria to Marseilles.

He was 41.

According to notes collated by the Narre Warren and District Family History Group, Alfred was buried in Y Farm Military Cemetery Bois-Grenier, 4000 yards south of Armentieres.

His belongings were returned to his widow, Alice Isabella Webb, whose address was listed as Lyncourt, Narre Warren.

Among her late husband’s possessions were a wallet, a knife, a metal watch wrist-strap, some note books, a pipe, three handkerchiefs and a couple of coins.

But Alfred left behind so much more than a handful of belongings.

Alice also received Alfred’s three service medals, King’s Message and Memorial Plaque.

Alfred is remembered on the Australian War Memorial and on the Berwick Grammar School’s memorial in Church Street, Berwick, the Berwick Grammar School Honour Board at the Berwick RSL, the Christ Church Great War Honour Roll and on the Narre Warren Memorial Gates.

Alfred’s younger brother, Norman Archibald Kent, died from a gunshot wound to the chest he sustained while serving on the Western Front in 1917.

Norman was wounded on 12 April and died a day later from the injury. He was buried at the Vaulx Main Dressing Station one and a quarter miles north-east of Bapaume, France.

A picture of the Kent family. Norman and Alfred, who were killed during WWI, are pictured in the back of the carriage with their governess. Their brother, Charles, is in the front seat next to Mary and Ada.

“

His father Anthony had thanked people for the warm welcome to his son, a welcome which was never to be for Alfred or Norman...

On his tombstone were inscribed the words “Son of AB & MA Kent Narre Warren, died for King and Country”.

Norman’s personal effects many the same as his brother’s were returned to his father Anthony Burdon Kent along with his three service medals, his Meritorious Service Medal as well as the King’s Message and Memorial Plaque.

Anthony was born in 1844, in Dover, England, and didn’t arrive in Australia until 1862 where he married Mary Ann Hillbrich 10 years later.

It’s around this time when Anthony bought a property known as Granite Park in Narre Warren, which he re-named the Oatlands.

Anthony and Mary raised seven children together - five sons and two daughters - and in October 1922 they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary without their two sons who had died in battle five years earlier.

But before Alfred and Norman went to fight the war, they both experienced a loving childhood growing up in Narre Warren and it surrounds.

Alfred was born in 1875 in Narre Warren and was educated at the Church of England grammar schools in Berwick and Melbourne.

It wasn’t until 1898 that he married Alice, the daughter of Sidney John Webb at her family home in Narre Warren, known as Holly

Green. In 1910 Alfred was known to have owned the general store on the north east corner of the highway and Narre Warren North Road.

His brother Norman was born in 1882, also in Narre Warren and attended the local state school.

By the time he reached the age of 32 Norman was working as a farmer on the land.

But soon it seemed a fate serving their country in WWI awaited both brothers far from the gentle fields and plentiful expanses of Narre Warren that had been an instrumental part of their lives for so long.

In 1915, at the age of 40, Alfred enlisted as a private in the 6th Battallion, soon departing for Egypt on HMAT Nestor.

Norman, who enlisted before his older brother, signed up as a private on 1 October 1914 in the 14th Battalion.

The younger Kent served in Gallipoli after which he was hospitalised with pleurisy in May 1915.

Less than two years later, after being transferred to the Western Front, Norman was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for “continuous meritorious performance of duty under most adverse circumstances at Pozieres from 6 August to 13 August and from 26 August to 30 August 1916”.

A third Kent brother, Charles Edward Kent, also served in the Great War after enlisting in 1916.

He left for duty in June that year aboard HMAT Wandilla.

Following service in Egypt and France, Charles returned home in 1918 to take care of his mother and father, who had already lost Alfred and Norman to the bitter tragedy of war.

That same year it’s understood a ‘welcome home’ social was held for Corporal Charles Kent, where he was presented with an inscribed gold medal.

His father Anthony had thanked people for the warm welcome to his son.

A welcome which was never to be for Alfred or Norman.

Uniform is badge of honour Corporal Victor Smith

By CASEY NEILL THE World War I uniform in the Dandenong Cranbourne RSL foyer it more than just clothing.

It belonged to Corporal Victor Royston Smith, an 18-year-old labourer from Maldon, Victoria, who enlisted on 21 January 1915.

He embarked from Sydney on board HMAT A40 Ceramic with the 4th Light Horse Regiment on 25 June 1915.

Dandenong Cranbourne RSL sub-branch president John Wells said Corporal Smith, then a private, landed at Gallipoli 1 October 1915.

He faced a court of inquiry on 23 October 1917 over injuries he sustained on 2 October.

Corporal Smith was admitted to 43rd Stationary Hospital, Egypt, with a fractured tibia and fibula.

Evidence cleared him of any carelessness. Witnesses reported watching him trying to free a horse

which had its foreleg entangled in its neck rope.

The horse threw itself and fell on Corporal Smith, breaking his leg.

He returned to Australia on 2 August 1919.

Relatives William and Marjorie Smith from Berwick found his uniform in a trunk during a cleanup and thought it too good to throw away.

They first offered it to Legacy, which suggested taking it to an RSL. “Of course we jumped at it,” Mr Wells said.

“Hopefully little kids will come in and say ‘why’s that there?’ and think about it.”

He encouraged anyone with

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

“It belongs to the country.”

WE REMEMBER THEM 1915-2015

Battlefield is still revealing its past

Fortitude shows the Anzac spirit is in us all John Wells Dandenong Cranbourne RSL president

T

HE Anzacs are still here.

The centenary of the landings at Gallipoli is a great opportunity for us all to think about who we are and about how we became the people we are.

It is an invitation to think about the past, the present and the future, as one.

It was a bitter defeat, of course, wasting the lives of more than 15,000 of Australia’s best, and starting a reaction in Australia that eventually led to great difficulty in finding sufficient volunteers to fill the gaps on the Western front.

The long casualty lists and the letters home made it clear the war was not, after all, a great adventure.

It was supposed to be ‘over by Christmas’, but it lasted four Christmasses and for many of them there were to be no more Christmasses.

Yet we celebrate it proudly, and so we should.

I don’t think it was the ‘birth of our nation’ at all, but I do think it was proof of the sort of nation we had become.

I think we can still be hugely proud that so many people put up their hands when the need was there.

I think we can be hugely proud of

the way we fought, and the things we did.

I think part of that pride is that, simply, they were us. The Anzacs are still here.

The people who fought in the Second World War, all over the globe, the people who have fought since, all over the globe, were, and are, Anzacs in a very real sense.

I have said before that we have the best gene pool in the world because this huge island has always attracted the ‘have a go’ people, the people who were prepared to move to a new land, a new culture, often a new language.

The people who had the courage to do something about their circumstances.

The people who were prepared to sacrifice almost everything to give their children a better life, a better world.

From the First Fleet, through explorations, the gold rushes, the settling, all the building of a nation, we had people who would have a go, people who would put their hands up when the need was there.

We still have them.

The Anzacs are still here.

We are still a land of volunteers.

We are still a land of people who will ‘have a go’.

That is the essential memorial to those Diggers on the heights, those diggers in the mud and in the deserts, those Diggers in the jungles, those airmen in the vastness of the skies, those sailors on the endless seas, those nurses in stinking tent hospitals.

Let’s celebrate the centenary by remembering not just what they did but who they were.

They were the sons and daughters of a tough, proud people, made up of the world’s very best.

They built a nation, and they fought for it.

Let’s celebrate the centenary by committing ourselves all over again to those values that drove the Anzacs.

That is the memorial that matters.

Let’s honour them by having the past shape the future, by remembering who we are, all of us, together.

Let’s remember that we have a duty to the people in our past, the people who put us here and gave us the Lucky Country.

We all owe them a debt, but it is one we pay to our children and their futures, not to the past.

On Anzac Day, wear the badge.

Wear it as a symbol of so much that is great and good.

Wear it in memory of the Anzacs, and wear it knowing that they will never really be gone from us.

The Anzacs are still here.

RUSTED and battered piece of metal will take pride of place in the Dandenong Cranbourne RSL. Sub-branch president John Wells said a farmer recently dug it up in a French paddock where the Battle of Pozieres took place in July and August 1916.

“Some guy went over the top with that on his gun and he didn’t come back,” he said.

“In one sense it’s a rusted piece of metal but it means so much more.”

Mr Wells said Australia lost 3500 men on the night of the main attack of Pozieres.

“It was the worst conflict casualty situation we ever had,” he said.

“We were under constant artillery bombardment for a fortnight. It’s just mind shattering to endure.

“We held it and the Germans gave it up.

“For many people that was the beginning of the turn of the war. It was an incredibly courageous thing.”

The RSL donated $5000 towards a memorial at Pozieres.

“That’s a huge battlefield and Australians don’t even know about it,” he said.

Spirit of teen war adventure With the centenary of the Anzac landing in Gallipoli this week, Hallam Senior College student TRAVIS REID, 16, reflects on his trip to Europe last year as a recipient of the Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize. Travis’s greatgrandfather, Archibald Reid, Served in WWI.

I

WENT on the trip of a lifetime for two weeks over the 2014 first term school holidays as a recipient of the Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize.

We travelled to Greece, Turkey, Belgium and France to visit notable WWI sites.

It was a once in a lifetime experience and I enjoyed every second of it.

It wasn’t just the idea of being able to travel overseas and experience various countries’ cultures, it was the enduring legacy of the knowledge of what it would have been like for teenagers my age and other participants during World War I. I learnt more than I thought I ever could while travelling abroad about the sacrifice soldiers made for their countries, how the Anzac Spirit played a major role in Gallipoli and also the history behind the Great War. On 25 January 1916, at the age of 19 years and six months, my great-grandfather felt the Anzac Spirit and signed up as a volunteer to “serve in the Military Forces of the Commonwealth of Australia within or beyond the limits of the Commonwealth”.

For an unknown reason he signed up under the name Archibald Reid which remains a mystery to our family to this day. Our family name should be Webster not Reid.

On 25 May 1916 my greatgrandfather left Melbourne with his 37-year-old uncle George Thompson Webster for active service abroad.

They arrived in France on 23 November 1916 as part of the 3rd Divisional Signals Company, under the ultimate command of the famous Major-General John Monash.

It is difficult to determine exactly where my great-grandfather served as the war records are not specific.

However, as part of the 3rd Division he would have most likely participated in the Battle of Messines in France in June 1917, the Battle of Broodseinde in October 1917 and at the Battle of Passchendaele in Belgium.

He arrived back in Melbourne on 27 January 1920 and was discharged from the Australian Imperial Force on 21 March 1920 with the rank of corporal.

At the age of 46 in 1942 my

Y first recollection of Anzac commemoration probably comes from when I was around six years old and in Grade 1 at Southern Cross Primary School in Endeavour Hills.

My teacher had spent the weeks ahead of Anzac Day speaking at length about the merits of commemoration and reflecting on the sacrifices that our soldiers had made for the freedom we enjoy today.

Given it was a public holiday and I was also a beleaguered Essendon supporter, I arose on Anzac Day to work out what all the fuss was about as any curious sixyear-old would do.

Switching on the television to the ABC, I was greeted by the famous Anzac parade.

Veterans marched under an array of banners along St Kilda Road to the Shrine of Remembrance, representing their service in all corners of the world.

I was so enamoured by the moment that I promptly rushed to make my own medals with

crayons and crudely-cut drawing paper, and then marched proudly around the living room just as those on the screen did.

At that point in time, I clearly did not comprehend the enormity of the situation but what did remain with me from that day is what made me march so proudly around the living room that morning - an overwhelming sense of appreciation for the sacrifice of these men and women in making Australia the beautiful, peaceful country it is today; a sense of sadness for those who had fallen; and a pride in the comradeship still shown today.

That’s what the Anzac Spirit means to me. The qualities of courage, mateship and determination that symbolised our Diggers are those that every Australian still endeavours to achieve today.

So when my school approached me with a nomination to be put forward to the State Government’s selection committee for the 2015 Gallipoli Dawn Service Tour last year I was both honoured and terribly excited.

After an extended application process involving school nomination, external references, a personal questionnaire and essay, I was fortunate enough to be selected as one of the 80 Victorian students out of a pool of more than 630 student applicants to participate in the tour commemorating the Anzac centenary.

As part of the tour we will be visiting important commemorative sites along the Gallipoli Peninsula as well attending the Dawn Service at Anzac Cove, followed by another commemorative ceremony at Lone Pine.

The entire tour will stretch from Monday 20 April to Tuesday 28 April. It is such an exciting opportunity to represent my family, school and community at such a momentous occasion in Australian history and I will forever be grateful for the support I have received on this wonderful journey.

I have created a Facebook page to share my experiences at www.facebook.com/gallipoli2015asanga.

WE REMEMBER THEM 1915-2015

View from the other trench

By CASEY NEILL

B

ERWICK man Peter Neumann serves as a reminder of the other side of war.

His grandfather Arthur fought for Germany during World War I. “I know he served at the front,” Peter said.

“He was nearly shot on the front line by one of his commanders because he didn’t want to fight anymore.

“Has anybody really won?

“I look at Anzac Day not just as one group of soldiers, but all the soldiers all around the world that fought and people who lost family members through the war.

“I probably look at war differently. War shouldn’t be glorified.

“It’s reality and there were lots of innocent lives lost. It’s been very hard on the families.”

Peter recently donated to Dandenong Cranbourne RSL a periscope his grandfather used, though during which conflict is unclear.

“It’s been kept in the family,” he said.

“I’ve been hanging onto it in the garage. I came across it and being a member of the club here, I thought it was stupid having it in the garage - no-one can see it.

“I’m donating it to the RSL. I know it will be put to good use here.

“I could have sold it on eBay but then it would have been in somebody else’s garage.

“Here, it can be put on display and people can see what was used during the war.”

Peter was called a Nazi and a Jew-hater when he migrated to Australia from Germany.

“I found out that my grandfather on my mother’s side (Joseph Kempf) had actually been imprisoned (during WWII) because he helped smuggle Jewish people over the border,” he said.

“He was supposed to be executed ... but what

“It was just hours before the execution.”

Dandenong Cranbourne RSL sub-branch president John Wells welcomed the periscope donation.

“I suspect it’s from an armoured vehicle of some sort. Probably from World War II,” he said.

“We used periscopes in the trenches a lot.

Periscopes were wherever you didn’t want to put your head up.”

Mr Wells urged anyone who found wartime artefacts to contact their local RSL. “It’s part of our heritage. It reminds us of the realities that we once faced and it reminds us that history isn’t always nice,” he said.

“If you want your future to be nice, you need to be aware of the things you did in the past that weren’t.

“It’s important to preserve it where people can see it and understand it.

“It links us, in the sense that the bloke that used this did what I did. His father did what I did.

My great uncles did what I did.”

Mr Wells said every ex-serviceman was “in the club”.

“It doesn’t matter whether you fought in Afghanistan or you fought in the Boer War. If you pulled on the boots, you’re in the club,” he said.

“We have Italians who fought against us who march on Anzac Day. We have Turks now. They were our enemy.

“It’s a Turkish story as well. Bottom line is we invaded Turkey and they kicked us out.

“They suffered enormous casualties, far more than we did.

“Surely the Turks that have come here, they’re in the club.”

Your smile is our top priority.

Neville Jacka with his children Daniel and Hayley who are all descendants of Australian WWI hero Captain Albert Jacka, VC.

First in the line of bravery Captain Albert Jacka

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD

N

ARRE Warren South’s Neville Jacka reckons his ancestor Albert Jacka must have been a “little bit crazy” to perform such incredible acts of wartime bravery.

Captain Albert Jacka was the first Anzac to receive the Victoria Cross (VC) in WWI and is renowned and remembered as one of the country’s finest war heroes.

While growing up Neville Jacka was told story upon story about his grandfather’s cousin - Albert.

“He was obviously very brave, very fearless, he had to be fearless,” Neville said.

“And obviously he had a huge amount of self-belief in that he knew what he was doing, when you look at

“

Would I have been able to do that? Probably not...

some of the decisions he’s made... potentially you’d almost have to be a little bit crazy.

“But you just don’t know, it’s hard to say that about someone you’ve never met but I don’t know if people these days would be prepared to put themselves into that sort of position.”

Sitting with his kids inside their Narre Warren South home, Neville spoke about Albert’s courage in Gallipoli which saw him later awarded the VC. History records of one particular battle draw on Albert’s diary in which he wrote that he took on 10 enemy soldiers by himself and was the only one to rise out of the trench alive.

“I bayoneted two Turks, shot five, took three prisoners and cleared the

NEVILLE JACKA whole trench,” Albert wrote in his diary.

“I held the trench alone for 15 minutes against heavy attack.”

But upon delving into his ancestor’s war history, Neville said Albert’s bravery fighting in the Somme, outside what was left of the village of Pozieres, was arguably just as breathtaking.

At one point during this battle, it’s recorded that Albert spotted a group of four Germans in a shell hole firing on the Australians who were taking a heavy toll.

Albert charged the group of Germans who are believed to have shot him three times as he approached, throwing him to the ground each time.

It’s said the Australian got back up after each bullet pierced his skin and

Captain Albert Jacka, the first Australian to be awarded the Victoria Cross in WWI. Picture: AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIAL kept running towards the enemy.

It’s understood the four Germans threw down their weapons and Albert killed them.

C.W Bean, an Australian Imperial Force (AIF) historian, described Albert’s efforts in the Pozieres battle as “the most dramatic and effective act of individual audacity in the history of the AIF”.

Neville’s son Daniel, 18, who attends Fountain Gate Secondary College with his sister, 14-year-old sister Hayley, said he was only nine or 10 when his dad first told him about Albert Jacka.

“And I remember one time, I think it was about Year 7. I was in an IT class and I just decided to Google him, let’s see what he’s done,” Daniel said.

“I was like - this guy’s in my family? He’s awesome!

“The appreciation for what he has done has definitely grown.”

After the war, Albert became the mayor of St Kilda in 1929, where Jacka Boulevard was named after him.

But the much-storied Australian

died soon after in 1932, at the age of 39, succumbing to nephritis.

Neville said Albert’s old war wounds had taken their toll.

“Right near the end of the war he was in an attack where they got attacked with gas,” Neville said.

“I think it was mustard gas or something like that and that’s nasty stuff and that affected his wounds, caused all his old wounds to open up and affected his lungs.”

On Anzac Day this month Neville plans to attend the Shrine for the Dawn Service and reflect again on Albert’s fearlessness.

“You always sort of stop and think about it around Anzac Day and around Remembrance Day and you stop and have a think about the stuff he did,” Neville said.

“And you try and think - what would I do if I was in the same position?

“Would I have been able to do that?

Probably not.

“It’s a pretty special kind of person to be able to just do the stuff that he did time and time and time again.”

Blind soldier led the way

By ANEEKA SIMONIS

A

YOUNG soldier robbed of sight, taste and smell during the last days of World War I is today remembered by many as a remarkable man who defied his disabilities to become the state’s first honorary solicitor.

Dudley Ackerley Tregent, the grandfather of Berwick resident Noella Van Der Linde, enlisted to serve the country on 10 December 1915.

He fought in the battlefields of France until the final days of war, where he was wounded by an exploding shell and lost his sight in both eyes on 17 October, 1918 - less than a week after being promoted to sergeant in the 7th Field Artillery Brigade.

Dudley recovered at the 2nd London General Hospital before getting permission to visit his injured brother Percy, a 59th Infantry Battalion Private, at a hospital in Wales. A nurse at the hospital put the brothers in adjoining beds where they spent days talking about what Dudley could do when he returned to Australia.“Dudley was greatly concerned as to what he could make of his life. He told Percy he was not going to

sell matches in the street,” according to a chapter of The World is Mine, a book which tells the story of the handicapped ex-serviceman.

Refusing to be limited by his disabilities, Dudley enrolled in Melbourne University’s law school where he became the department’s first blind legal graduate, and later, the Legacy Club of Melbourne’s first honorary solicitor.

As part of the legacy, Dudley provided free welfare and legal help to deceased servicemen’s dependents.

“He gave his services gratuitously and willingly to individuals who sought his help, and always refused to accept any fees. Deprivation of certain senses certainly developed one great attribute - compassion, for which he will always be affectionately remembered,” read a Legacy Club of Melbourne tribute to Dudley, who died on 10 August in 1971.

Dudley was best remembered for leading the plea for increased pensions and allowances for ex-servicemen, women and their dependents in 1927.

Noella said she and her sister Eileen Crewes always remembered visiting their granddad at his Collins Street law firm - Dudley Tregent and Co.

“If we went to the office to see our grandfather, we had to put on our best dresses. Even though he was blind, we had to be all dressed up and sit there quietly,” Noella recalled.

Dudley, who did not have a walking cane or guide dog, lived in a South Yarra home he designed himself and was visited each Sunday by his granddaughters.

“We would go for walks in the Royal Botanic Gardens. We had cuddles and would play games, like pulling down his socks while he was sitting in his chair,” Eileen remembered.

Noella said her grandfather’s determination to succeed despite the odds is a point of pride within her extended family.

“My father and his brother worked at the firm. My aunty also worked there for a time and my cousin is now a judge at the Bendigo Magistrates’ Court,” she said.

“He inspired us by teaching us you can do anything you want.”

Dudley was married to Eileen Sharp in London on 12 July 1920 - years after meeting her as a Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse during his time in recovery.

ORM Barr’s legacy is attached to each name engraved in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.

a series of bronze plaques recognising each of those people who gave their life for Australia.

Norm and Robert, who together had inherited the family business Arrow Engraving and Foundry Pty Ltd, individually checked every one of the 102,000 names of the dead from all Australian military campaigns engraved and remembered in Canberra.

The name were hand-set in Victoria and then transported to the country’s capital.

Cecilia, Norm’s daughter, this week recalled travelling to the War Memorial with her father and mother, Nanette, where her dad was treated with complete reverence.

“We’d been to the War Memorial a few times, with Dad, and Mum, in our travels around Australia and to just to go there and for Dad to be treated like a guest of honour himself, just for having made the engravings, was incredible,” Cecilia said.

“And then to be taken on internal guided tours of the War Memorial.

“I remember that, I remember going through and just going wow, Dad was treated so well. And us kids, wandering around as well, just quietly, because we knew it was such a big thing.”

Cecilia, who was born after Norm completed the War Memorial engravings, remembers growing up working for the family business and hearing stories of what her father helped create.

Her father’s legacy in Canberra came to mean even more to Cecilia when she attended the Anzac service in Gallipoli in 1990 while travelling through Europe.

“I remember it being cold, really cold, and very emotional,” she said.

“To be there and to be looking around as the dawn happened. And then you could start seeing where you were. It really was goosebump stuff, it was amazing, absolutely amazing.”

As well as in Canberra, Norm Barr left an indelible mark in Narre Warren - his home suburb for the best part of two decades.

Norm was a much-loved member of the Narre Warren Rotary Club, introduced to the group by his friend and fellow Rotarian John Randall.

Norm became president of the club in 1981 and was recognised as a Paul Harris Fellow in 1982.

“We’re still in touch with so many of the Rotarians, from that initial starting point. It’s amazing,” Cecilia said.

“All of us kids that used to muck around at the different events that they had, Christmas parties and stuff.

“They’re all in their forties and fifties now and we’re still Facebook friends, from all that time ago.”

THE attitude to master-planned communities can sometimes be one of, “Seen one, seen them all.” Those who hold this view however, are clearly not acquainted with the communities created

by Villawood Properties.

For more than 25 years, Villawood Properties has been creating communities that carry its signature hallmarks of innovation and liveability. Its justlaunched Delaray community in Clyde North carries the familiar touches that have come to be associated with the

company while breaking new ground in luxury and amenity.

Delaray, which will ultimately feature more than 1000 homes will also be a leading edge example of Villawood Properties’ focus on creating community through its various distinguishing features.

Its state-of-the-art residents club will be the hub around which the community revolves, with its range of facilities including gymnasium and swimming pool, café and parents’ lounge.

Adjoining the club will be a community garden and a Men’s Shed, both features which have proven highly popular at other Villawood Properties communities.

Beyond that the community will feature 10 acres of parklands and open space, incorporating wandering paths, ideal for cycling, walking or jogging as well as picturesque wetlands.

“While there is a definite Villawood Properties approach or philosophy, which we apply to every community we create, we also make a point of ensuring that each community carries its own, very distinct characteristics,” says Villawood Properties Executive Director Tony Johnson.

“What we try to do in each community is to incorporate an element of the local - whether that involves the historical or

the natural character of the area.

“Our buyers are discerning. They want a quality home, but they also want more than that. What we aim to give them, and Delaray is a perfect example, a sense of community. We create facilities and areas that encourage people out into their environment.

“This is something which we’re continually looking to refine and improve and in Delaray you’ll see the latest step in this evolution.”

Young vet’s convoy north S

ELF-DESCRIBED “young veteran” Lance-Corporal Scott May will think beyond Gallipoli this Anzac Day. The Pakenham physiotherapist will ponder his comrades while he was deployed as an Australian Light Armoured Vehicle (ASLAV) crewman gunner in Iraq in 2007 and Afghanistan in 2008.

He said a US nurse killed during a mortar attack 100 metres from his ASLAV in Baghdad in 2007 left an “everlasting impression” though they “met for only the briefest of moments”.

“On Anzac Day, you do find yourself casting your mind back to things that happened.

“There were a couple of incidents in Iraq where people were injured, particularly the American nurse.”

He’s also got a wider mission to help and recognise Australia’s returned soldiers - many of whom are under 40.

He said many suffer from loneliness caused by the post-trauma stress of war.

Scott, his brother Chris and colleague Sven Thomson are seeking a major sponsor for their Young Veterans group - which is convening an Anzac centennial convoy of three ex-military Land Rovers across Australia this year.

The trucks were bought for $30,000

by Dandenong Cranbourne RSL. Its president John Wells said it was the young veterans’ right to seek help from the RSL. “The important thing about their rally is it includes young veterans,

Scott May needs sponsors to get behind his campaign for young veterans. 131606

“

Picture: ROB CAREW

We all have struggled. We all have issues and know what it’s like...

Vietnam vets, civilians, RSL staff - it’s a mixture of all sorts of people sitting around the campfire talking.

“What we’re about is getting the young veterans into the mainstream and the social inclusivity of feeling they have mates.

“If you pull on the boots, you’re part of the one club.”

The rally will run from the Austra-

SCOTT MAY lian mainland’s southernmost point at Wilsons Promontory to the northernmost tip of Queensland, Cooktown.

Their trailers have recently been converted by members of Akoonah Men’s Shed in Berwick.

Plenty of veterans are willing to drive the trucks, and further to tack on behind the convoy.

“The potential sponsors are going

to have coverage. On the road, we get a lot of attention… a lot are staring at these trucks.

“RSL House wants to reach out to these veterans.

“They are keen for this to happen.”

Scott knows from experience how hard it is to re-adjust to civilian life.

He discharged himself from duty suffering from depression and fatigue.

On his return to Australia, he felt separated by a “gulf” from his wife and workmates.

He tells of friends who became uncontactable, just “dropped off the grid” to find themselves and too many of them have committed suicide on their return, he said.

“We just want to reach out to young guys, for them to seek further assistance.

“We all have struggled.

“We all have issues and know what it’s like.”

As a military history buff, Scott knows “more than most” about the Gallipoli campaign 100 years ago.

He said his view is shaped as a “contemporary veteran” expert in combat in the Middle East.

“I don’t think of myself as an Anzac fighting in the trenches of World War I but as a custodian of the Anzac spirit, tradition and history.”

The day should focus on Australian veteran’s sacrifices through numerous campaigns and battles beyond Gallipoli, he said.

There are oft-forgotten victories such as Australian troops capturing the French village of Villers-Bretonneux in their first successful night attack which coincided with Anzac Day 1918.

He said the day is rightfully “a period of mourning, a reflection for those who didn’t come home”. It shouldn’t be a “day for going out to party”.

Anyone who can help or sponsor the Young Veterans rally is urged to email YoungVeterans@rslvic.com.au.

WE REMEMBER THEM 1915-2015

The fabulous baker boys

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD

T

HEY were the baker’s boys - eight men employed by local Narre Warren baker Donald Hartley Rowe who all enlisted to fight in WWI. A November 1915 edition of the Berwick Star News reported their names as Harry McGuire, Alf Rooney, Harold Johnstone, Jack Lyons, Fred Lewis, Vic Chitts, Reg Currie and Geo Forrester.

Narre Warren and District Family History Group member Jane Rivett-Carnac has spent the last few weeks poring over old records to find out who these eight men were, and unearth their stories.

Some proved easier to identify then others.

Harry McGuire is believed to be Americanborn Private Harry Robert McGuire, who served in England and France before returning to Australia on 1 May, 1917.

But this information cannot be confirmed, with Mrs Rivett-Carnac finding 263 potential ‘H. McGuires’, or variations thereof, listed in the records.

Private Alfred George Rooney’s history was clearer. He was a driver and trumpeter in the 8th Light Horse, who enlisted on 15 October 1914.

The son of James Rooney from Ballarat, Alfred was wounded in Gallipoli on 16 May 1915 by a gunshot wound to his neck and shoulder, and was evacuated to Egypt where he recovered.

He was awarded the Military Medal on 23 September 1916 for gallantry and devotion to his duty in the field.

His recommendation recognised him for “... bringing ammunition and water to the firing line under very heavy machine-gun fire, doing three trips to and fro and for assisting in bringing in a wounded officer from a fire-swept ridge.”

Alfred carried out the remainder of his service

with the Egypt Expeditionary Force in Palestine.

There were found to be 69 records of people who served with the name, or variation of the name, Harold Johnstone, and none could be definitively proven to have any connection to baker Donald Hartley Rowe, or Narre Warren.

Jack Lyons is another name which proved difficult to research. Mrs Rivett-Carnac came across a Private Charles Jack Lyons who enlisted in Tasmania in September, 1914, and whose papers indicate he was a baker and served in Gallipoli and France.

But she was still unsure whether this was one of Rowe’s boys.

“My problem with this being the correct person is if he’s working as a baker in Narre Warren why would he leave and go to Tasmania to enlist?” Mrs Rivett-Carnac told the News.

“Many men named John are known as Jack and the army records have many John Lyons records - finding the correct one this way will take more time than we have.

“There is also the Lyons family from Tooradin, it may be that this soldier is one of their sons but I can’t prove it.”

Private Fredrick Archibald Lewis enlisted on 13 July 1915 at the age of 24. His next of kin was his father, Caleb Nicholas Lewis, who was living at Wilson Street in Berwick at the time.

Fredrick left for Egypt and France on the HMAT ‘Ceramic’ A40 and served for 1455 days.

He returned to Australia in May 1919, where he continued to mourn the death of his younger brother William, who was killed in action in France in March 1917 at the age of 21.

Prior to his enlistment William is believed to have worked for a local grocer in Pakenham - Mr P. O’Halloran.

Charles Victor Chitts was the only ‘Vic’ uncovered by Mrs Rivett-Carnac.

But while he is understood to have two cousins who were German prisoners of war in WWI, there is no evidence that Charles served under his name.

It’s believed Charles had another cousin who lived Berwick.

“Perhaps Vic enlisted under an alias or he only served within Australia and his records are not available or he went to enlist and didn’t pass the physical but then you would think he would have returned to work,” Mrs Rivett-Carnac said.

“I’m guessing he served under an alias or paid his own way to England and served with another country - all possibilities, but no proof.”

The seventh of Mr Rowe’s employees to enlist was Private Reginald Currie, who signed up on 6 November 1915 at the age of 22.

A death notice in the Argus newspaper indicates that Reginald was the only son of Donald and Margaret, and a brother to six sisters. The family is believed to have lived in Warragul and Berwick.

It’s reported that he served in France and is reported gassed in 1917 and 1918, and both times he was hospitalised. He completed his service as a member of the 14th Battalion and returned home to Australia in April 1919 on the troopship ‘Commonwealth’.

“From his service record it would seem that he had trouble fitting into the army way of doing things, he is reported absent without leave a number of times,” Mrs Rivett-Carnac said.

“He went before a field court-martial for disobeying an officer’s command and found guilty, each time he forfeits days of pay, in total 205 days and at one point spent 100 days confined to camp when in England.”

Sergeant George Arthur Forrester served for four years in Gallipoli and France and was promoted to sergeant.

He returned to his father Zephaniah Forrester’s home at Taradale and later married Susan Holbrook.

A newspaper report from the Dandenong Advertiser, dated 18 November 1915, notes that R. Currie and S. Forrester, of Narre Warren, had enlisted and were both employed by Mr Rowe at the bakery.

Mr Rowe is recorded on an electoral roll as having left the Narre Warren district by 1925.

Corporal Alexander McClure

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD

B

EFORE he was shot dead on the front lines, Corporal Alexander ‘Yank’ McClure wrote to his parents back home about his seeming invulnerability.

The details surrounding Cpl McClure’s death were published in the Pakenham Gazette on 17 May 1917, including quotes from a letter he sent to his parents just before he was shot.

“The Turks cannot hit me now, I reckon,” he wrote.

“They have cut the hair off my temple with a bullet and I received a blister on my neck with another.

“I had my shaving mug smashed to pieces with a piece of shrapnel shell whilst I was shaving and I was hit on the shin with another piece which just grazed me”.

It’s believed the day Cpl McClure was shot, he’d only hours earlier been recommended for a promotion to sergeant.

Word of his death soon reached his father, a prominent member of the Narre Warren Cricket Club and a foreman on the Victorian Railways at Yackandandah.

Cpl McClure, known as ‘Yank’ to his mates after travelling to America, was sharing a dugout with his good friend Lance-Corporal Stringer, who he met in Egypt, when he was shot with the bullet that would end his life.

L-Cpl Stringer’s account of Yank’s death, included in the Gazette piece, is heart-breaking in its vividness.

The bullet, L-Cpl Stringer said, went “straight through” his mate.

“He and I were in charge of adjoining posts, so I know how poor old Yank - we never called him anything else - went out,” he said.

“It was a bright moonlight night, about 7.30. He and I stood on the floor of the trench and discussed the usual evening repairs to the parapet - torn sandbags had to be replaced and loopholes cleared.

“Yank jumped up and climbed out over the parapet to effect his repairs. He and I usually worked together and I asked him if he needed any assistance.

“He said, ‘No, I can fix it on my own’. As I had some work to do on my own post I left him and walked back to attend to it.”

A minute later L-Cpl Stringer heard a cry and knew someone had been hit.

“There lying on a blanket was poor old Yank,” L-Cpl Stringer said. “ ‘Hit hard, old chap?’ I asked. ‘Don’t know, got it through the groin,’ he replied. ‘What did it feel like?’ - a silly question, but natural. “ ‘Like the kick of a bushel of steam-hammers,’ replied Yank, as he disappeared, being carried around the corner of the trench.

“That was the last we saw of our friend. It was not until I returned to Egypt that I knew he had died on the beach next day at Anzac.”

His friend said he died as he had lived “game and cheerful to the last.”

“Yank McClure was one of my best friends at Anzac,” L-Cpl Stringer said.

“We shared the same dugout and lived and fought together.

“He was, I think, the most popular man in our company. His unfailing good humour and pluck made everyone like him.”

WE REMEMBER THEM 1915-2015

Man of so many parts

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH A STATESMAN, engineer, diplomat, governor, politician and soldier, Richard Gavin Gardiner Casey can be remembered as many things.

But this year, at this time, he is remembered for his significant service during World War I. Lord Casey served in the Australian forces at Gallipoli and was awarded the Military Cross and Distinguished Service Order for intelligence gathering.

On 14 September 1914, Lord Casey was appointed a lieutenant in the Australian Imperial Force and took off for Egypt the next month.

Baron Casey of Berwick, Victoria and the City of Westminster, Lord Casey climbed up the ranks and in August 1915 became a staff captain with the 3rd Brigade at Gallipoli.

Lucky to live an affluent life after his father Richard senior prospered as company director with partners Thomas and Walter Hall in the Mount Morgan Gold Mining Co. Ltd, Lord Casey grew up in South Yarra where he was educated as a day-boy at Cumloden School in St Kilda and later at the Melbourne Church of England Grammar School.

In 1909, Lord Casey spent one year at the University of Melbourne studying engineering before setting sail to England and entering Trinity College, Cambridge where he graduated with second-class honours in mechanical sciences tripos.

Until the war broke out in August 1914, Lord Casey worked for Mount Morgan Gold Mining Co Ltd, where his father had become chairman.

Lord Casey served throughout the war in various roles but never commanded men.

He started out as an orderly officer and became aide-de-camp to Major General Sir William Bridges, commander of the AIF’s 1st Division and in August 1915 was appointed staff captain with the 3rd Brigade in Gallipoli.

Lord Casey recovered just in time from a fever to become the general staff officer, grade three with the 1st Division, before moving to the Western Front for the Battle of the Somme

in France in 1916.

Awarded the Military Cross in January 1917, Lord Casey was made the Brigade Major of the 8th Brigade, a challenging position which meant regular visits to the front line and for his efforts was awarded the Distinguished Service Order in 1918.

Lord Casey resigned his AIF commission and was demobilised in Lon-

don on 10 June, 1919.

Transferring to the Reserve of Officers, Lord Casey served as a part-time intelligence officer at the Army Headquarters in Melbourne in the early 1920s.

From Assistant Minister at the Treasury in 1933 to Treasurer in 1935 and Minister for Supply and Development in 1939, Lord Casey was appointed

the Australian Minister to the United States of America.

Resigning from parliament in January 1940, Lord Casey’s most prestigious appointment as was as Governor-General of Australia from 1965 to 1969.

Retiring to their farm in Berwick

after serving Australia for many years, Lord Casey never fully recovered from a car accident in 1974 and passed in June 1976.

His long and distinguished life is remembered through his namesake, the City of Casey. Lord Casey is buried in Mount Macedon cemetery.

Lord standing among us

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD WITH a deft hand, Casey mayor Mick Morland removed the veil this week that covered the new bronze statue of his municipality’s namesake.

The seven-foot bronze statue of Lord Richard Gavin Gardiner Casey installed on the central median strip in High Street, Berwick - was unveiled at a special ceremony on Wednesday morning attended by many residents as well as a host of federal and state politicians and Casey councillors.

President of the Casey-Cardinia Branch of the National Trust, Ruth Crofts, told guests the installation of the statue, created by renowned artist Louis Laumen, had been many years in the making.

“I’m pleased to see the culmination of a community initiative and the successful completion of this project by the City of Casey,” Ms Crofts said.

“The statue is a tribute to a great man who gave outstanding service to his country over many decades, so it’s pleasing to see the statue erected here in his home town of Berwick.”

Berwick RSL President Ray

Heathcote, who also spoke at the ceremony, said he recalled when Ruth first came up with the seeds of an idea for the Lord Casey statue roughly a decade ago.

“This is I think Ruth’s idea about 10 years ago and that’s where it started. It’s gone through lots of perutations to get to this stage, different groups,” he said.

“But in the end it’s the Casey Council that’s bitten the bullet and decided to actually push forward with it and we have to acknowledge that (Casey Mayor) Mick has been a driving force in that.

“Just as we trust in the youth of today to take forward our messages and to take forward the work that we do, so it’s important to acknowledge those people who have come before us, particularly people like Richard Casey, who played such an important role in the formation of our country and what we are today.

“And I just think it’s appropriate that when we have our service here on Anzac Day, and in Anzac Days to come, that Lord Richard Casey will be standing here among those people

that come to commemorate Anzac Day.” Lord Casey served in the Australian forces at Gallipoli and was awarded the Military Cross and Distinguished Service Order for intelligence gathering.

He went on to serve his country as a minister, diplomat, and governor around the world as well as in Australia. His final and most prestigious appointment was as Governor-General of Australia from which he retired in 1969.

In between postings, the Casey family lived at Edrington in Berwick and city was named in his honour when it was established in 1994.

Casey Mayor Mick Morland said he was honoured council were able to fund the $110,000 sculpture after getting on board the project about two years ago.

“For me it’s an absolute thrill to be the mayor of the day and to do this,” he said.

“It’s great for our city.”

In brief Kidnap bid A TEENAGE girl managed to escape into a nearby park after a man tried to take her from a Doveton bus stop last week.

The girl was standing at the Kidds Road bus stop about 10.15am on Wednesday 15 April near the intersection of Sheoak Street when a small silver 4WD stopped in front of her and the male driver inside offered her a lift. When the girl refused, the man got out of the car and grabbed the victim’s arm but the girl broke free and fled into the nearby park.

It’s believed the offender got back into the car and drove off.

The victim did not sustain any injuries and no weapons were produced. The offender is described as Middle Eastern in appearance, approximately 160cm tall, with short black hair, and was wearing a brown coloured Vneck T-shirt at the time and spoke with an Arabic accent.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Swift fire POLICE are investigating a suspicious car fire in Cranbourne West over the weekend.

CFA crews were called to the incident on Berwick Cranbourne Road where a Suzuki Swift, which was believed to have been stolen, was set alight just after 7pm on Sunday 19 April.

It’s understood a man wearing a hoodie was seen near the car about 5pm on the same day, close to the area where it was later set on fire. The registered owner of the Susuki has already been interviewed by police.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Letterbox alert A CRANBOURNE woman was alerted to the fact that her letterbox had been set on fire by an alert on her phone. The Cranbourne woman was out when CCTV security footage she accessed on her phone showed her Dunferline Crescent letterbox had been set alight around midnight on Sunday 19 April.

Police believe it is likely to be a targeted attack. Police seized items than can be used to start a fire left near the crime scene and a white Holden Commodore was also seen in the area at the time.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Truck torched A STOLEN Woolworth’s truck was set on fire in Narre Warren North over the weekend. The CFA attended the incident after the truck fire was reported about 10am on Sunday 19 April on Jacques Road about 500 metres south of Heatherton Road.

It is understood the truck was stolen from a site in Essendon several weeks earlier.

Police said the truck’s registration plates, IAT 7GG, were still missing. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic. com.au.

Warriors lose by a whisker

By RUSSELL BENNETT SO close, yet so far... The Pakenham Warriors’ Big V men had close to a double-digit lead for much of their clash with the Giants at Coburg on Sunday afternoon, but couldn’t hold on when it counted most - going down by the narrowest of margins, 79-78.

The result leaves the side with just one win from its first five games, and in eighth spot on the 10-team Division 2 ladder.

The Warriors led 45-36 at the half, thanks largely to their willingness to attack the hoop, and their ability to make the most of their trips to the charity stripe. They also led in a host of defensive categories with big man Paul Phillips (7 points, 10 rebounds) back in the line-up.

Jeff Reid’s side stayed aggressive in the opening minutes of the third term but could make only six of their 21 field goals for the quarter - many of them open looks.

Warriors coaching co-ordinator Darrell Morgan made his on-court debut for the side and provided a calming influence over the group, while guard Mike Godfrey (16 points including 3-6 from three, 6 rebounds) had a breakout game.

Import Darren Galloway (17 points and 5 boards) played with plenty of aggression on both ends of the floor but he found the going a lot tougher offensively in the final quarter. He wasn’t alone in that respect either, with seven turnovers from the Warriors on just four made field goals in the closing stages.

The Giants, on the other hand, lived up to their moniker and played the game much more on their own tempo after the main break - shooting 46 per cent in the third, and - impressively - making half their shots in the fourth quarter.

The Giants were almost stumbling across fast break opportunities at every turn late in the game, while the Warriors’ open looks dried up.

Pakenham led 65-57 after three but were outscored by nine in the last. Yet with just 10 seconds left on the clock Galloway nailed a huge corner three right in front of the Coburg bench to put the visitors back up 78-77. The Giants had one final timeout to draw up a potential game-winning play, and Mabor Maniel (15 points) delivered.

Racing for a place in history

Warriors big man Paul Phillips attacks the basket against Coburg. 137904 Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT Nicholas Ross led the way for the Giants with 23 points including three triples, while Harry Van Dort was particularly efficient for the Warriors and Hayden Davey again recorded a double-double (12 points and 11 rebounds) despite not being able to get his jumper to fall.

The Warriors Big V women, meanwhile, had a rough day at the office on Saturday night - overpowered to the tune of 64 points, 91-27, at the hands of Melbourne University.

Pakenham maintained its intensity on the glass all night, but struggled badly from the field and turned the ball over a massive 47 times.

The Warriors men will travel to The Steelerdome in Somerville to take on Westernport this Saturday night, while the women’s side has a bye.

Another coup for Pakenham racing

By DAVID NAGEL RACING under lights will commence at Victoria’s newest racecourse, Pakenham Racing Club’s (PRC) Racing.com Park, in early 2016 following a $5 million funding boost from the State Government.

In a coup for the PRC and the wider Victorian thoroughbred racing industry, installation of a new $12 million track lighting system will commence

by June, thanks to a joint investment from the government, Racing Victoria (RV), Country Racing Victoria (CRV) and the Pakenham club.

Up to 75 lighting masts ranging in height from 20 to 46 metres will be installed around Racing.com Park’s turf and synthetic tracks, with modern dimming technology between

races providing energy savings of up to 30 per cent in comparison to existing night racing venues.

With RV today releasing its 2015/16 race dates, 16 Thursday night meetings - nine on turf, seven on synthetic - have been programmed at Racing. com Park next season from 21 January to 26 May. It will be Victoria’s most active racecourse with 38 meetings programmed next season - 16 on turf and 22 on synthetic.

From the 2016/17 season, the new racecourse is expected to host up to 28 meetings under lights each year - increasing the total number of night meetings across the state to about 62.

CRV chief executive Scott Whiteman said the expansion of night racing to a second country racecourse would drive

all-important wagering growth and be of benefit to all industry participants.

“Racing.com Park’s ability to host racing year-round on both turf and synthetic surfaces at a purpose built venue which also has access to the large horse population east of Melbourne means it was a natural choice for Victoria’s third night racing venue,” Whiteman said.

PRC chairman Don Duffy said the club was delighted with news of the funding.

“This decision is another vote of confidence from the racing industry and the Victorian Government in the new Pakenham Racecourse facility,” Duffy said.

“It is another important step in the club delivering its vision to be a major player in Victorian racing.”

LEADING trainers Chris Waller, Peter Moody and Darren Weir have horses nominated for Sunday’s $100,000 Bruce Clough Mazda Pakenham Cup. The first edition of the race to be run at Racing.com Park, Tynong, promises to be a beauty with 27 nominations for the prestigious event to be run over the classic distance of 2000 metres.

Waller has his Irish-import Campanology entered for the race, while Moody’s fouryear-old gelding Rodway and

the Weir-pair of Shamardashing and Tooleybuc Kid are sure to be hard to beat if they greet the judge.

Tom Hughes’ exciting three-year-old gelding Chill Party, fresh off a last-start win in the Group 2 $200,000 Alister Clark Stakes, will be another to keep an eye on, while local-trainer Cameron Templeton will look to make it back-to-back wins with Polkaface.

Templeton won the last ever Pakenham Cup to be run at the PRC’s former track at Racecourse Road with last year’s winner Cap-

tain Fancypantz. Locally owned favourite The Wingman has also been nominated

by Caulfield trainer Robert Smerdon, while Victoria and Queensland Derby runner Pinstripe Lane adds further interest to the race.

The nine-race card carries $350,000 in prize-money with the main support to the cup being the $70,000 Racing.com VOBIS Gold Bullion (1400m) and the $30,000 Schweppes David Bourke Memorial (2500m).

Respect in the silence

By DAVID NAGEL LEADING his team out - shortly before dusk - for Saturday night’s Anzac Day clash against Pakenham at Toomuc Reserve will have very special meaning for new ROC captain James Canty.

The quietly spoken but extremely impressive 21-year-old midfielder’s grandfather, of the same name, fought on the Kokoda Track during World War II. And while football should never be compared to war, Canty agreed that footy had provided lovers of the great game with the perfect opportunity to pay their respects.

“Absolutely, it’s been a great way to pay tribute, with the last post, the minutes’ silence, and they’re probably things that people wouldn’t do unless they were at a football game,” he said.

ROC, coming off a heart-breaking two-point loss to Doveton last week, will need to be right at the top of its game against a Pakenham lineup that scored its most celebrated win in more than five years against Narre Warren last week.

Lock this one in the vault under “classic”, with the Magpies and Lions producing a high-standard and free-flowing contest that went all the way down to the wire, the Lions triumphant by five points.

The lead changed hands at the end of the first three quarters - the Lions superb 7.4 to 3.1 first term answered with an 8.4 to 2.2 response

from the Magpies. Pakenham lifted its rating in the third quarter, kicking six goals to three, ensuring a hot finish to a cracking game of footy.

The Magpies looked to have cracked the Lions in the final term, but late goals to Damien Holmes and Russell Lehman, who had a terrific second half, got the Lions across the line in a thriller.

“I asked the players at half time to keep concentrating and keep sticking to the things they do well, and full credit to them, they played amazing footy and I was very proud of them in the end,” Pakenham coach Steve O’Bryan said.

Daniel Fry and Jake Smith kicked four each for the Lions but it was the second-half performance of Lehman, and a brilliant game from skipper Dean Blake that carried the Lions across the line.

Doveton had to fight hard for its win over ROC. The Kangaroos looked to have the Doves measure in the final term, but late goals to Michael Laszczyk, and a set shot from Jordan Temopoulos at the 29-minute mark, gave the Doves their second nail-biting win in succession after last week’s one-point thriller against Tooradin.

Ruckman Russell Gabriel was once again fantastic for the Doves, while Shannon Henwood, Phil Nanfra and Michael Henry fought hard for some midfield ascendency.

Matt Clarke was dangerous with five for ROC while his team-mate Ben O’Loughlin was terrific in defence.

Two of the real hard nuts of the SEFL tangled on Saturday when Narre Warren skipper Michael Collins laid this tackle on Pakenham s Anthony Young. Young had the last laugh with the Lions scraping home by five points at Kalora Park. 137779 Pictures: ROB CAREW Cranbourne kicked 12 goals to two in the second half on its way to a 37-point win over a very disappointing Berwick at Edwin Flack Reserve.

There was no panic in the Eagles’ camp after Berwick had slammed on 7.5 to no score in the second quarter to turn an 18-point quarter-time deficit into a 29-point half-time lead.

Mat Fletcher and Max Gearon got plenty of the ball through the midfield for the Eagles, who had Michael Theodoridis boot five for the afternoon.

Reigning premier Beaconsfield has overcome the Stephen Milne Show and a slow start to run out 51-point winners over Hampton Park at Robert Booth Reserve.

Milne kicked three goals and added some real interest as the Redbacks pushed the Eagles to their limits in the first half.

The Eagles lifted their intensity, banging on 7.5 to 2.0 in the third quarter, with ruckman Scott Meyer impressive, while Taylor Joyce, five goals, and Chris Worner, four, were dangerous up forward.

ROC-solid start, Scotty

By DAVID NAGEL A GRUELLING pre-season under second-year coach Scott Eastwood would appear to be paying off for ROC with an impressive 14-goal win in its season opener against Doveton at Starling Road on Saturday.

Eastwood, who represented Victoria at the Men’s National Championships as a player in 2000, took over the reins last year when the club was caught short with the departure of its previous coach.

The former Bonbeach, Hampton Park and Kooweerup footballer has had a full pre-season to work with his side this time around and has already noticed improvement.

“Last year, we had a very interrupted season, with the coaches leaving at an early stage and me taking over, but this year we’ve had plenty of time to prepare,” he said.

“We’ve worked well as a group and I can see a lot of advancements already. To go out and perform like we did, against last year’s premiers is a promising sign, but there’s a long way to go and we’ve still got plenty of things we can improve on.”

Eastwood said there was clear focus heading into the pre-season grind.

“The number one thing was to get the fitness base up because we struggled last year to run out games,” he said.

“The A Grade games in this league Pakenham’s Toni Dart leaps high to accept a pass against Narre Warren on Saturday.

The Lions went down 44-36 to the Magpies Picture: ROB CAREW at Fox Road. 137779 QUIZ NUMBER 1449 ANSWERS: 1. San Antonio 2. Rover 3.

can be intense, so that was a main area of focus. Then four weeks out, we started working on systems and those types of things.”

ROC’s fitness and structure really stood out against the Doves, with defenders Laura Quinn (GK), Mel Overdyk (GD) and Sophie Tracey (WD) combining beautifully with Amy Tivendale (C) through the midcourt.

Former Berwick goaler Laura Hargreaves (GS) looked dangerous under the ring, fed with precision passing from Gemma Stacey (GA) and Kylie Bradshaw (WA). ROC led by three goals at quarter time and stretched that to 13 with a dominant 16 to 6 second quarter.

Doveton defenders Cara Humbert (GK) and Aggie Seeto (GD) used their athleticism to keep the electronic scoreboard in reasonable shape for their side.

In other games, Kerry Twyford didn’t get the result she was after in her return to Fox Road, her Pakenham side going down 44-36 to Narre Warren, while Berwick bounced back from its round one loss to Beaconsfield with a 36-33 victory over Cranbourne.

Hampton Park, minus its star goaler Emma Ryde, suffered its first loss of the season, losing to the still undefeated Beaconsfield, 40-32.

There are only two games this Anzac weekend, with Cranbourne hosting Tooradin at Casey Fields and Pakenham and ROC taking to the court at Toomuc Reserve.

The match-up that matters THERE’S a whisper going around that the Pakenham Football Club is trying to gain a permit to allow a game of two-up to take place at Toomuc Reserve on Saturday night.

If so, Lions’ skipper Dean Blake knows precisely who will be the key protagonists.

“I’m sure Dick and Stan (Young) will have something going on and the big fella (full-forward Daniel) Fry might have a game going in the goal square at some stage during the match.”

The Lions won’t know until later in the week if their quest for the permit has been successful.

Pakenham holds the Plate PAKENHAM GOLF CLUB NINE golf clubs from all over West Gippsland took part in the Fayde Golf - Pakenham and District Golf Club Plate at Pakenham on Sunday.

The weather in the morning did not look promising, but Course Superintendent Rick McHugh did a great job removing the surface water from every green prior to play.

With a total of 109 points, the team of Stephen Northcott, Michael Banger, Rich Paton and Ray Leonard ensured the Plate would stay at Pakenham for another year.

The Garfield Golf Club held its plate on Saturday and the aggregate overall winners from both Garfield and Pakenham were the Garfield team of B. Calderara, I. Hopper, C Gilbert and S. Kohut with a two-day total of 187 points.

Individual honours went to P. Van Der Horst, also from Garfield, with 39 points. The PGC would like to thank members who volunteered their time with special mention to Kevin Wraight and Della who slaved over the barbecue. Also thanks to Fayde Golf Apparel for their ongoing support.

Monday Frankie Chiu (15) won the Stableford event, shooting a great round of 44 points from Les Jones (28) with 43 points. Down the line balls went to 37 points.

Wednesday A very wet and cold morning saw most players choose the comfort of a fireplace over venturing out onto the course. Trevor McQualter fired a great round of 40 points to beat Ted Schreuder (32) on countback. Stewart MacDonald took the first nine holes to warm up before shooting 22

points to win the super comp.

The ball comp went down to 36 points.

Saturday Cool overcast conditions met the players as they arrived to do battle. The course is starting to play a little longer now and the scoring has returned to normal.

Michael Popof (27) shot the best score of the day - 39 points. Darren Grayson (11) took the honours in A Grade with 37 points, while Grant McCullough, fresh from being fitted for a new set of clubs, by the clubs, shot 38 points to win B Grade. Balls went down to 35 points. Albert Hill won the Sunday comp.

Ladies Thursday saw the Ladies April Monthly Medal - Stroke and Putting competition played.

Not surprisingly it was Ladies and West Gippsland Champion Shirley Roberts who handled the tough conditions best, shooting 75 nett to take out the Medal. Shirley McGrath won B Grade with 77 nett and Aileen Fromhold was the best in C Grade also with 77 nett.

Merle Beasley needed only 30 putts to complete her round. Kay Jones, Margie Andrews and Aileen Fronhold were our big brutes of the day, winning their respective grades long drives, while Leah Barker and Shirley Roberts won NTP’s on the 2nd and 16th holes respectively. Balls down the line went to 77 nett.

This week there is the game everyone loves to hate, Foursomes, which is also the Doris Chambers qualifier.

A reminder to all ladies that the following week is our Ladies Charity Day with the Make It, Grow It or Bake It theme to donate something to be raffled off.

The event will be American Foursomes Teams Event.

AH, those Italians. Back in 1923, race driver Ugo Sivocci slapped a green four-leaf clover on his ‘RL’ and drove it to victory in the first of Alfa Romeo’s ten Targa Florio wins.

Since then, the ‘Quadrifoglio Verde’ has been the symbol of Alfa Romeo racing cars and later graced special road-going series.

Latest to take on the lucky charm is the Giulietta, which, according to the maker, marks the return of the pure Italian hot hatch.

The QV tops off an already refreshed Giulietta range that, with its not-to-be ignored styling, including all-new interiors, an exterior facelift and awardwinning powertrains, brings unique Italian style and sophistication to the segment.

Available in three trim levels - Progression, Distinctive and the Quadrifoglio Verde hot hatch - from $29,000, plus onroad costs, it is the last that concerns us here.

True to the Alfa Romeo race tradition, the Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde is equipped with a new engine and is available with twin-clutch transmission and launch control.

Alternatively it can be had with a six-speed manual gearbox.

Alfa Romeo has also brought

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV has the hallmarks of a wellcut, classic, three-button Italian suit. out a Launch Edition model, which enhances the sports car looks of the standard Quadrifoglio Verde TCT by adding carbon-fibre mirror covers, a carbon-fibre rear spoiler and a sports body kit which comprises distinctive new side skirts, a front air dam and a rear diffuser.

Combined with the new gloss black exterior highlights, the Giulietta QV Launch Edition is the ultimate Giulietta.

Just 500 examples will be built globally with 50, including the test vehicle, coming to Australia priced from $45,000, plus on-roads.

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio exhibits a more planted stance than its siblings thanks to a lowered sports sus-

pension, while the legendary four-leaf clover emblem on the front wings, dark-tinted rear window glass put the onlooker in no doubt as to the hatchback’s intent.

A hot hatch, eh. There are others that edge the Quadrofoglio Verde in this respect, but there is no denying the strength of the Italian style that goes with this in the new rare top-ofthe-range Giulietta.
