The Spirits of Gallipoli The Gallipoli Peninsular is a rough and beautiful place, rugged, stark and now peaceful. Standing on Anzac Cove, looking up at the cliffs, it is hard to imagine how the men made it up there, in the dark, under fire, on that first day. There is an “essence” at Gallipoli that reaches out and touches you. It’s difficult to breathe; a lump forms in your throat and as a mother, tears well thinking of the heartache caused by this place. There are many books and reference materials about the campaign; every aspect is analysed. The Anzac legend and the mateship ethic is dissected and examined. We were struck by the men themselves, who were they, who grieved for them? 7,249 members of the AIF never left Gallipolis’s shores. We had to find out all I could about them. “The Spirits of Gallipoli” project was born. If you are trying to find any information about a member of the AIF, you begin at the Australian War Memorial (www.awm.gov.au) and the National Archives of Australia (www.naa.gov.au).

Wishing you a very bright prosperous and happy Year. The day dawned very pleasantly but afterwards became extremely warm. We all drove to church about ten and met a number of people returning who told us that the priest had been called away two hundred miles and that we would not have service either today or tomorrow. It is rather sad to begin the New Year so, but it cannot be helped. We then drove home and adjourned to the drawing room where we read our Mass prayers, Papa, the boys and I reading aloud alternately. Then after dinner Charlie Hancorne came up and read a lecture on the Music of Ireland to us and I am sorry to say that Papa and I fell asleep but only for a few minutes. It was so hot and we were lounging so comfortably. About four o'clock the children and I packed a hamper while the boys got the buggys ready and we drove down to Port Patterson and boiled the kettle and had tea on the beach, after which Papa set the children racing for small moneys and we bigger ones walked down to a boat and sat and talked a while. Then returned home as we had come out. Jim driving some of the children and I in a buggy with one horse and Papa behind in his own big tilted one and a pair of horses.

  • The Public Will Thank You for Your Timely Article on the Absurdity of So Many of the Names with Which Our Localities in South Australia Are Humiliated
    B The public will thank you for your timely article on the absurdity of so many of the names with which our localities in South Australia are humiliated. The places so handicapped are, like the unfortunate infants christened after certain celebrities, voiceless in the matter… (Register, 25 July 1900, page 7d) Baan Hill - On section 50, Hundred of Allenby; an adjacent spring gives a good supply of water all year round; derived from the Aboriginal panau - ‘ochre’. The name was given to a pastoral run by H.S. Williams and J.T. Bagot and, on 24 June 1976, proclaimed as a recreation reserve. Babbage, Mount - B.H. Babbage discovered the mountain in 1856 and named it ‘Mount Hopeful’; in the following year it was renamed by G.W. Goyder. Babbage Peninsula, situated on Lake Eyre North was, virtually, discovered by Babbage, as opposed to Lake Eyre South which was discovered by E.J. Eyre and not named until 1963. Born in London, circa 1814, he came to South Australia in the Hydaspes in 1851. A qualified engineer he was involved in the construction of the Port Adelaide railway, entered Parliament in 1857 and resigned nine months later to command a northern exploration party. By the end of six months his explorations had scarcely penetrated beyond the limits of pastoral settlement and, consequently, both the public and the government, increasingly, became impatient at his slow rate of progress. Eventually, Major P. E. Warburton was dispatched to take over the leadership and, later, it was said that, ‘Babbage’s expedition of 1858-59 was one of the most fruitful in its detailed collection of geographical information and the minuteness of its survey work.’ The Advertiser of 24 December 1858 has a satirical poem - one verse reads: Each caviller at Babbage then A fairy land, no doubt, he’d see, We’d northward send exploring Where others saw but gravel, To find new land, or water when And geographic problems he He chose artesian boring! Most surely would unravel.

  • 18 February 2015 SERVICE VETERANS' GRAVES: the RSL
    18 February 2015 SERVICE VETERANS’ GRAVES: THE RSL VIEW The RSL notes the issue raised in Wednesday’s edition of The Advertiser with respect to the graves of veterans. The RSL-SA President, Brigadier Tim Hanna, said today: "We need to acknowledge the contribution of all those who have served our country. While we understand that not all necessary information is available to the various cemetery authorities, including next-of-kin contact details, where there is clear evidence of military service this should be checked and the grave preserved.” Steve Larkins, Deputy State President RSL-SA reported that Veterans’ graves fall into a number of categories: Commonwealth War Graves. These graves of personnel who have died in service are protected by Commonwealth legislation. They are generally in designated sections of public cemeteries. They all have distinctive headstones made to a standard pattern. Service Cemeteries. The best examples of these are in the AIF Cemetery at West Terrace. There are over 4,000 graves of men and women who died subsequent to their service. They include four Victoria Cross Winners from WWI. Others include the Derrick Garden of Remembrance at Centennial Park, and the Kibby Garden of Remembrance at Enfield Memorial Park. Other sites exist in regional locations. Full details are on the RSL website. Graves of ex-service personnel bearing plaques (designating them as ex-service) are issued by the Services Cemeteries Trust, which is administered by the RSL. Private burials that may or may not have reference to an individual’s service. To determine whether an individual was a service member or not may involve a search of a range of records.

  • Chaplin Family Records
    Chaplin Family Records Another Robert Chaplin, was born in the west county of Somerset. He and his wife Rebecca (nee Greedy) settled as assisted immigrants in South Australia. Here is their story and the generations that followed them; Robert Chaplin1,2 was born July 30, 1803 in Brompton Ralph, Somerset, England3 and died October 12, 1890 in West Mitcham, South Australia. He died aged 87 years,4,5 and was buried at West Mitcham Primitive Methodist Cemetery, Adelaide, South Australia. Robert’s life-time occupation seems to have been as an agricultural labourer. He married Rebecca Greedy August 28, 1825 in St. Andrew’s Church of England, Wiveliscombe, Somerset, England, Register number 268, and was witnessed by John Hill and William Milton. They were married by banns (which meant their intention to marry was made public in church on three successive Sundays, so that anyone could then raise an objection if they thought it appropriate. Marriage by license required a large payment but ensured privacy and was quicker.) Rebecca Greedy was born and Christened on January 20, 1805 in Langford Budville, Somerset, England 6. She died October 23, 1885 in West Mitcham, South Australia, aged 79 years.7 She is buried at West Mitcham Primitive Methodist Cemetery, Adelaide, South Australia. The Headstone reads: “Wife of Robert." She was the daughter of James Greedy and Susannah Harvey. Residences: Robert and Rebecca resided in Wiveliscombe in their early life, but with marriage in 1828 moved to Loamy, then in 1830 Woodend, in 1833 Woodhouse, 1835 Stone Wood, until settling somewhat from 1838-1847 at Burton Court, in Brompton Ralph, Somerset.
