Tiaro Dawn Service Draws Large Crowds for 100th Anniversary

Last month’s digger, (Robin) Robert Arthur MacKellar’s letter appeared in Maryborough Chronicle Saturday 19 September 1916. (Robin was killed in action 29 July 1916): It reads: LETTER FROM THE FRONT. Mrs A. Mack- ellar, Bauple, has received a letter from her son Private Robin A Mackellar, written somewhere in France on June 29th in the course of which he states:- “We are still in the training camp but expect to go to the front any day. The weather is fine at least; mid summer here is just like early spring in Australia. I am afraid it will be rather cold for our lads in the Winter. Many feel the cold even now. The drill here is first class, the best I have had since going into camp. No doubt they will turn the majority of the Australians into first class soldiers here, but I am afraid it is going to take a lot of us to end this war. Some people think It will end this year, well let us hope it will. Under date July 8th he writes - I will very likely be going up in a few days as I have been warned to be ready at a moment’s notice. We will hope for the best and I feel as if I will see you all again, and very shortly too. The war cannot go on very much longer, and perhaps we will all be together again for Christmas. Fancy, I played in a cricket match yesterday against another Battalion, and we won easily. It seemed quite like old times.”

However, when offered an appointment straight away they refuse to see Dr. Reka Juhasz. Dr. Baudoeuf has great faith in Dr. Juhasz’ knowledge, medical professionalism and care.
