RAM Ramblings: Warren (Noddy) Feakes – Wanniassa– 0417 209 360 Volume 11, Edition 2 August 2014 Mid-winter greetings to all. As is usual for me, I am ensconced in the Snowy Mountains of NSW for the winter, enjoying the best snow conditions for many seasons. We had the most amazing blizzards a couple of weeks ago, but now it is like spring, except for the cold clear nights, getting down to minus 12 C sometimes. Teaching and coaching adults and kids in Cross Country Skiing is a wonderful healthy occupation and now, like most of the ‘older’ Rammers, into my ‘mid’ sixties, I delight in the exercise and fresh mountain air. I was once more in Malacca for Anzac Day 2014 with a few Brit gunners, a couple of score of ex-Slim School students and one Extra 107 fella, that well known ‘spanner’ Terry Corcoran. I had a wonderful couple of weeks starting in Penang, then KL, then Malacca, spending Anzac Day at a lovely ceremony at the Commonwealth War Graves cemetery in Terendak Camp. The Malaysian Army were amazing in their hosting of our group. On the first day in the Camp, we gunner types had a full tour of the old Regimental Lines and lunch in the Officers Mess hosted by the CO. After our Anzac Day service, The Divisional Commander threw on a sumptuous Garden Party at his residence for us, Band and all. The ceremony at the War Graves was huge. I think Malaysian Officers and Soldiers outnumbered our group of 50 odd. Malaysian General Staff officers were everywhere and I was interviewed for National TV which played that night. Terry Corcoran placed a wreath for 107 Battery and I placed one for the whole Australian contingent present. Terry and I then placed tributes on individual Australian graves with special attention to that of our first Battery Commander, Peter Badcoe VC and Lt Bob Birse RAA whom the Battery buried with full military honours in December 1967. I followed the Darwin Reunion with envy but had made my decision very early to go to Malaysia and could not change that easily. I gather you all had a great time and my congratulations to the organisation behind it all, especially Jim Wright who was going through some difficult times with Jen’s health at the crucial run-up to the event. I had a second visit to Kazakhstan in May this year, this time for three weeks. I taught English as a volunteer teacher in a small private school in Kokshetau, North Kazakhstan, but the icing on the cake was an immersion in the Kazakh culture. I walked on the Steppe amongst wild camels and bactrians, strolled in huge herds of horses, flew eagles off my arm, met dogs the size of Mal Meninga, ate horse, drank fermented mares’ milk and stood in an archelogical dig of a 6,000 year old Kazakh dwelling amongst pottery shards and horse bone tools. Many Kazakhs have a direct lineage of about 30 generations to Genghis Khan. But earlier, from about 8,000 BC, Neolithic inhabitants of this vast country domesticated horses, developed cattle-breeding, agriculture, mining, weaving and ceramics. And no, I did not meet Borat…Borat is a Jewish Pom from Oxford, England. Is my Russian improving?- конечно, but let’s just say it’s a difficult language to learn in one’s middle age, Однако я могу улучшить. 2017 Planning. Some Malaysian Veterans have had a bit of a natter and have decided to put on “Exercise Final Fling” to Singapore and Malaysia in 2017. Jon Eaton is the “lets-go” man for the event and has sent me a draft itinerary as an initial proposal. We plan to have Clive Palmer build us a replica of the LSL Sir Lancelot which we will christen “Sir Lunch-A-Lot”. We will sail her from Breakfast Creek to Singers after meeting in the Railway Hotel in Liverpool and taking a noisy coach to Brisbane but this time we will smuggle “Big Julie” with us….Oops…only joking! Seriously though, Jon’s draft agenda appears behind this Prez Pen. Of course, we would love to have as many of the post Malaysia Rammers with us as possible so we can use our dim memories to show them the sites and sights of our younger days. All correspondence will be entered into regarding this trip, so get your ideas to Jon in the first instance at [email protected]. Personally, I had a week in Georgetown on Penang at the Eastern and Oriental Hotel before this years Malacca trip and it was so worthwhile. I could suggest Langkawi or Batu Ferringhi (on Penang Island) as alternatives. Singapore has to be one of the most expensive places on the planet! On Association business, our untiring Sec/Treas has passed me the books to audit and we are in a healthy financial position with current assets of almost $30,000, most of which is held in Trust, and a stock of 107 trinkets to sell. Thanks Hilton; I do not know where your energy comes from. Please notify me of your brand of Shiraz. Attached are some photos of my Malacca/Terendak visit. Enjoy Above.

The parade ground is behind and Mt Stuart in the background. The walls are where the original HQ 4 Field Regiment once stood. The new HQ 4 Regt is now out of the photo just to the right, where the original brick Memorial Wall once stood. The Regimental Flag post remains in the original position. Note the four memorial brass panels are on the right of the right wall. They will move when there are 4 rocks cemented in to place then be transferred one to each rock. The memorial rocks are close to where the four sentries stand during memorial services. You can see one rock to the right of the photograph. To the north near the main Regimental road we are planting 15 trees in a U shape to form a rear background to the memorial. The trees are only around .8m high at present, so they live off base whilst the grow to at least a metre tall. The left wall commemorates the 4 Field Artillery Brigade AIF, from the Great War (left) and the two 4 Field Regiments of World War 11, the 2/4 Field Regiment 2AIF (centre) and 4 Field Regiment [Jungle Division] right, from the militia. The 2/4 Field Regiment saw action in Palestine and Syria in the Mediterranean campaigns then in New Guinea at Nadzab, Lae, the Markham Valley campaign including the Shaggy Ridge Battle, then in Balikpapan Borneo. 4 Field Regiment, as part of the 3rd Australian Division saw little action in the New Guinea campaign. In fact they relieved the 2/4th in the north of New Guinea before deploying to Bougainville, This freed up the 2/4 Regiment to return to Australia for leave and retrain for operations in Borneo. It is a little known fact that the 2/4 Field Regiment was the first AIF unit to parachute into combat in WW2 deploying by air into Nadzab, near Lae. Without any previous parachute experience and only very basic parachute training they deployed operationally by parachute.

  • Point Nepean Heritage Note
    VICTORIA’S HERITAGE POINT NEPEAN NATIONAL PARK by Daniel Catrice, 1998. As readers of this column are aware, this year has marked the centenary of two of Victoria’s oldest national parks, Wilson’s Promontory and Mount Buffalo. The celebrations have focused on the ‘centenary’ parks, with seminars, exhibitions and ‘Centenary Walks’ coordinated by the VNPA Bushwalking Program. This year several other parks are also celebrating anniversaries, but to less fanfare. Brisbane Ranges National Park was proclaimed 25 years ago. (The park’s history was the subject of a History Notes article in Sorrento Back Beach circa 1900. Courtesy of DSE Parkwatch, no. 190, September 1997). Other parks are celebrating ten years, When the Ice Age ended about 10,000 years including Point Nepean National Park, ago the sea level rose, drowning the plain and Coopracambra National Park, Lerderderg forming the shallow bay we know as Port State Park and Errinundra National Park.

  • Brief on the Firing of the 6” Gun at Fort Nepean
    The First Shot Introduction On Wed 5 Aug 1914, the brand-new German freighter S.S. Pfalz tried to escape from Port Phillip Bay to the open sea, before WW1 was declared. The Pfalz was built in 1913 and launched from the yard of Bremer-Vulcan, Vesesack, Germany and was 6,750 tons gross, 4,083 tone net and had refrigerated holds – “the finest of her type in the world” according to Frank Brennan, author of 1978 book The Australasian Commonwealth Shipping Line. The ship berthed at No 2, Victoria Dock, on Fri 31 Jul 1914 on its maiden voyage, under Captain W. Kuhiken (Kuluken?) on his first command. War in Europe was declared on Tue 4 Aug 1914 at 11 pm (London time), which was 9 am on Wed 5 Aug 1914 (Melbourne time). Engagement At about 12.40 pm on Wed 5 Aug 1914 (Melbourne time), the S.S. Pfalz was underway and just short of the Port Phillip Heads, having been released from inspection by the RAN near Portsea, when news reached Fort Queenscliff that war had been declared in Europe. Fort Queenscliff (the local coastal artillery HQ controlling all the separate forts in the Point Nepean / Queenscliff / Swan Island vicinity) telephoned Fort Nepean to stop the S.S. Pfalz. SS Pfalz An initial flag signal from Fort Nepean for the Pfalz to heave to was not seen – the Pfalz continued to steam towards the Heads, which were now tantalisingly close from the perspective of the German Captain. Once it was confirmed that the Pfalz was not heaving to in accordance with the Fort Nepean signal, the order was given to fire a shot across the bows of the Pfalz to compel its surrender.
