The SERVICEMAN ALL VOLUMES INDEX MAY 2020 Bound copies of all Volumes of The Serviceman from 1962 to 2019 and of The Serviceman (Special Edition) 1999 to 2019. THESE VOLUMES WERE PRESENTED TO THE WODEN VALLEY RSL SUB-BRANCH BY BILL SMITH AND BOB CREMER IN MAY 2020 1 List of Dedications Each individual volume in the bound set has been dedicated to a member who did more than most during their window in time to develop the Woden Valley RSL Sub-Branch in the true spirit of the Aims and Objects of the Returned & Services League of Australia (RSL). Their work was an inspiration to others. Those chosen for this honour are: The Inagurual Years - 1962 to 1983 (The Green Set) Volume I (1962 - 1965) Blair Taylor - Original Editor Volume II (1966 - 1969) Ernie Corey MM and Three Bars - Local Hero Volume III (1970 - 1973) Bob Berryman - Thrice President Volume IV (1974 - 1978) Brian Burke - President with Bowling Link Volume V (1979 - 1983) John Lewis - Long Serving President The Growth Years - 1987 to 2019 (The Red Set) Volume 1 (1987 - 1991) David Chinn MBE - Revival Editor Volume 2 (1992 - 1995) Bill Child - Editor Volume 3 (1996 - 1999) Michael Sheehan - Editor Volume 4 (2000 - 2003) Alex Reynolds - Twice President Volume 5 (2004 - 2008) Jim Hume - Editor Volume 6 (2009 - 2011) Michael Taylor - Community Leader Volume 7 (2012 - 2015) Jack Aaron OAM - Social Leader Volume 8 (2016 - 2019) Bob Cremer - Long Serving Editor The Special School Years - 1962 - 1983 (The Blue Set) Volume 1 (1999 - 2009) Peace Doves at Eddison Park Volume 2 (2010 - 2019) Bill Smith at Eddison Park 2 Patrons The High Commissioner from New Zealand to Australia is New Zealand’s foremost diplomatic representative in the Commonwealth of Australia, and in charge of New Zealand’s diplomatic mission in Australia. As fellow members of the Commonwealth of Nations, diplomatic relations between New Zealand and Australia are at governmental level, rather than between Heads of State. Thus, the countries exchange High Commissioners, rather than ambassadors. In 1964 as it consolidated, Woden Val- ley RSL wished to appoint a Patron and invited the then New Zealand High Commissioner to consider the role. His Excellency J. L. Hazlett graciously accepted and became the first of an unbroken list to do so. Listed below are his successors to become Woden Valley RSL Patrons. His Excellency J. Luke Hazlett (1964 - 1970) His Excellency Arthur Yendell (1970 - 1973) His Excellency E.P. Chapman (1973 - 1976) His Excellency Sir Laurie Francis (1976 - 1985) His Excellency Graham Ansell (1985 - 1989) His Excellency E. Ted Woodfield (1989 - 1994) His Excellency Graham Fortune (1994 - 1999) His Excellency Simon Murdock (1999 - 2002) Her Excellency Kate Lackey (2002 - 2006) His Excellency Dr John Larkindale QSO (2006 - 2011) His Excellency Maj Gen Martyn Dunne CNZM (2011 - 2013) His Excellency Chris Seed (2013 - 2018) Her Excellency Hon Dame Annette King (2018 - Present) Treasurers The History of Woden Valley Sub-Branch reveals it was blessed with a succession of talented members to serve as Treasurers. Each one of them quickly won the confidence of the executive and members by their tireless dedication to the task and with the advice they offered. Equally important, each won the trust and respect of independent auditors. Most served for many years and only handed over to take another management function. They were rewarded by the growth of the Sub-Branch, particularly in times of wider financial pressures. They are listed here with pride - and thanks. B. Taylor 1962 - 1964 Brian Cook 1981 - 2002 C.

The articles reflect the activities and interests of the members of the Woden Valley RSL Sub-Branch and its contribution to the curricular of local schools at that time. The index does not list routine reports on Annual and Quarterly Reports of Sub-Branch activities that outline the history of management and social development of the WVSB. However each magazine does contain relevant reports by the President, Secretary, Editor and those submitted by Committee/Board Members. These can be found in the individual index contained in every issue of The Serviceman. Searchers will be rewarded by a host of other small, interesting and amusing items that are also not listed individually and need to be discovered. How to use this index: Articles are listed in alphabetical order and referenced by year, issue and page number as follows: Year of publication: Shown by decade (e.g. 1999 is shown as 99) Issue: Shown as A (ANZAC), W (Winter), X (Xmas), S (Special Schools) Page Number: The number 00 denotes a front cover photograph or a story in that specified issue.

This article may not be copied nor distributed in either paper or digital form by other parties without ASHRAE’s permission. For more information about ASHRAE, visit www.ashrae.org. Andy Pearson Born With a Silver Spanner in Her Hand BY ANDY PEARSON, PH.D., C.ENG., FELLOW ASHRAE I’m writing this column on the birthday of one of the most unusual and inspiring characters in engineering history. She was born in a Scottish castle near Perth into a family of the landed gentry and was named after her godmother who was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Despite her noble beginnings Victoria Drummond clearly had an aptitude for hands-on engineering. As a young girl she enjoyed making wooden toys and mod- els and is said to have won prizes for them. Aged 21 she started an apprenticeship in a garage in Perth and two years later transferred her training to the Caledon Shipbuilding yard in Dundee, where she served her time in the pattern shop for the foundry and in the fin- ishing shop. After two more years she completed her apprenticeship and spent further time as a journey- man engine builder and then in the drawing office at Caledon. When the yard hit hard times a couple of years later she was laid off, but managed to get a place with the Blue Funnel line in Liverpool and after a short trial voyage she was signed on as tenth engineer (the bottom rung of the ladder) on a passenger liner sailing between England and Australia.

  • General Sir William Birdwood and the AIF,L914-1918
    A study in the limitations of command: General Sir William Birdwood and the A.I.F.,l914-1918 Prepared and submitted by JOHN DERMOT MILLAR for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales 31 January 1993 I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma of a university or other institute of advanced learning, except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis. John Dermot Millar 31 January 1993 ABSTRACT Military command is the single most important factor in the conduct of warfare. To understand war and military success and failure, historians need to explore command structures and the relationships between commanders. In World War I, a new level of higher command had emerged: the corps commander. Between 1914 and 1918, the role of corps commanders and the demands placed upon them constantly changed as experience brought illumination and insight. Yet the men who occupied these positions were sometimes unable to cope with the changing circumstances and the many significant limitations which were imposed upon them. Of the World War I corps commanders, William Bird wood was one of the longest serving. From the time of his appointment in December 1914 until May 1918, Bird wood acquired an experience of corps command which was perhaps more diverse than his contemporaries during this time.

  • Sail Training, Vocational Socialisation and Merchant Seafarer Careers: the German Initiative in the 1950S1 Alston Kennerley
    Sail Training, Vocational Socialisation and Merchant Seafarer Careers: The German Initiative in the 1950s1 Alston Kennerley Tout au long du 20ème siècle la pertinence de l'expérience pratique dans les navires hauturiers à voile carrée avec de futures carrières de marin dans les navires motorisés a été discutée et remise en cause. Il restent aujourd'hui des pays qui fournissent une telle expérience pour des officiers stagiaires, et il y a un soutien mondial pour donner de l'expérience de la voile aux jeunes dans le cadre du développement caractériel indépendamment du futur métier. La discussion ici se concentre sur l'initiative allemande des années 50, en recherchant des avis personnels au sujet du contexte et du but opérationnel, par le moyen de questionnaires sur l'expérience personnelle de la voile et du métier de marin qui a pu suivre. Les résultats prouvent que les répondants étaient généralement favorables à la possibilité de formation en termes de la gamme étendue des qualifications personnelles engendrées, et que le coût et l'effort sont valables. The history of merchant seafarer training is probably almost as old as deep sea seafaring itself. It can certainly be identified from medieval times, at least in Britain through the adoption of craft guild progression structures: apprenticeship, journeyman craftsman (mate), master craftsman. In British seafaring two levels of apprenticeship evolved: seaman apprenticeship and officer apprenticeship. With the opening of the oceans in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, educational dimensions, especially navigation, began to be taught ashore as well as at sea, to those destined for command. Until well into the nineteenth century, skills aspects, grouped under the term seamanship, were always learned or taught through example and experience aboard ships engaged in commercial trading.

    http://www.tarago.org.au/tarago_community_times.php July 2019 The Tarago Times is a non-profit community service, published monthly by the Tarago Sporting Association Inc by a team of volunteers. It has a circulation of 525 copies distributed throughout Tarago, Lake Bathurst, Mayfield, Boro, Taylors Creek and the surrounding district. View online at http://www.tarago.org.au/tarago_community_times.php Congratulations to our Reverend Tom Frame AM When Tom Frame was 7 years old he told his adoptive mother he wanted to be one of two things when he grew up - a clergyman or a butcher as these were the men in his community he respected the most. After 14-years of Naval service, he chose the former and from tough beginnings, at the age of 39 he become Australia’s youngest Anglican Bishop. In 1991 he completed his doctorate in history at the Australian Defence Force Academy. Tom has also written 47 books on theology, philosophy and history which are his passion. The Order of Australia (AM) honour recognises his “significant service to higher education, to the Anglican Church of Australia, and to the community.” Tom is the director of the Howard Library in Canberra (named after former Prime Minister John Howard) a job he enjoys enormously. He is also a former director of the Public Leadership Group and of the Australian Centre for Study of Armed Conflict and Society. He was also Bishop to the Defence Force and directed Saint Mark’s Theological College in Canberra from 2006 to 2014. With his heart firmly placed in rural ministry he has chosen to live in Tarago with his lovely wife Helen raising beef cattle at one of their properties on Mayfield Road.
