His skill and passion for playing the bugle reached such a height he was afforded the honour of playing ‘The Last Post’ at many an Anzac Day Ceremony in Anzac Square, Brisbane. Having played with such feeling, he was acknowledged by one of his peers in a heartfelt tribute published in the Telegraph (see picture). Ella too has shed many a tear listening to Ronald play his bugle, so much so she has kept a recording of him playing his bugle as a treasured keepsake. Being the true patriot he was, he later re-joined the Army in 1970 and worked in Headquarters towards the end of the Vietnam War. His nine service medals are a moving reminder of the sacrifices he made for his fellow countrymen and women. ‘Lest We Forget’.

Legacy widow Marie McIvor reminiscing over her photos of when she met her husband, Simon.
Legacy lady and WW1 widow, Mrs Marie McIvor was born in Coffs Harbour, NSW, the second of seven brothers and sisters. At the tender age of three her family relocated north and settled in the township of Kenilworth, nestled in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Marie has fond childhood memories of riding horses to school with her siblings and the strong work ethic of her parents. She credits her mother for raising them all to be very respectful people.
A dressmaker by trade, Marie was fortunate that in the 1940’s there was no other dressmaker in the vicinity so she had many requests, being Marie and Simon on their wedding day in January 1951. predominantly clothing for children and babies.
8 Torch Autumn 2015 In 1944 when Marie was 18, she and her sister would travel into town every Thursday in a shared vehicle, as petrol was in short supply. One particular Thursday morning, Marie was sent into town to discuss details of a new dressmaking job. It was raining heavily however Marie had little choice but to make the journey. This decision to venture into town on that very day, amidst the unfavourable weather changed her life. Sitting beside her in the shared vehicle was Simon, the future love of her life. Marie had never met Simon before so they didn’t chat during the trip. Simon didn’t usually go into town on a Thursday, but the rain meant he was unable to do his usual outdoor job and opted to go for the drive. Later that day Marie sighted him crossing the street and remembers thinking to herself “why hasn’t anyone married him yet?” For the next couple of years all they had between them was stares, the occasional brief discussion and exchanged pleasantries in passing. Simon was from Scotland and 27 years her senior. He had come to Australia with his cousin, in search of new adventures and settled in Kenilworth where he grew bananas. Back in Scotland, Simon served in the Royal Navy during WW1. Whilst in the North Sea he was injured, resulting in the loss of one lung. He attempted to enlist again during WW2 but was knocked back A young Simon in his WWI Royal Navy Seaman uniform. due to to a pre-existing injury. Simon was a man of few words, but being a ‘true Scot’, he could still speak Gaelic during his time in Australia. Marie is a very independent woman and after ‘retiring’ went to work for Blue Care. She still goes to Blue Care Finally, following years of ‘staring at each other from four days a week but now as a client. It was through across a crowded room’, Marie and Simon started a friend that Marie joined Legacy. She wanted to learn courting.

Following their wedding, they settled meeting a very friendly lady and after talking a couple in Brisbane and bought a corner store together in of times, realising they had attended the same school Ashgrove. They were blessed with a son, Roderick, as young girls in Kenilworth. Marie was thrilled she was affectionately named after Simon’s father. still able to remember her seemingly newfound friend After 16 years of marriage, a severe case of pneumonia from back in their school days in Kenilworth. took Simon’s life, a condition made worse by the fact It has been almost 50 years since Simon passed away he only had one lung. Marie looked after their shop on and Marie never regrets the short years they spent her own for the next 30 years until she retired in the together, saying “I’d rather be happy for almost 20 late 1990’s. Having regretted not visiting Scotland with years than miserable for 50.” her beloved Simon during their time together, Marie did a beautiful trip to his home town and stayed at the family residence, where her Simon had been raised.

A young boy passing saw him - approached and politely said, “Please sir do you mind if I ask you what the medals you wear are for? Did you get them for being a hero, when fighting in a war?” Startled, the old Digger moved over and beckoned the boy to sit. Eagerly the lad accepted - he had not expected this! “First of all I was not a hero,” said the old Digger in solemn tone, “But I served with many heroes, the ones that never came home. So when you talk of heroes, it’s important to understand, The greatest of all heroes gave their lives defending this land. “The medals are worn in their honour, as a symbol of respect. All Diggers wear them on ANZAC Day - it shows they don’t forget.” The old Digger then climbed to his feet and asked the boy to stand.

Ruth Doyal is my name. I am a relatively new addition to the team at Legacy House, South Brisbane. I commenced with Legacy in July 2014 as a volunteer, assisting with administration duties in the Pensions Team. It was my good fortune at that time to be selected as a founding volunteer in the Contact Centre. Due to my background and experience, I was asked to assist with a project in the Finance Department at the conclusion of Legacy Week. Upon completion of that project, and much to my delight, I was approached to take on the position of Coordinator in the Contact Centre for a contract period of 12 months. This opportunity has provided me with a better understanding and appreciation of what Legacy does. The primary function of the Contact Centre is to touch base with our widows Ruth Doyal on a more regular basis, enquiring into such things as health, wellbeing, family support and social connectedness. Legacy has both volunteers “Through my conversations I have and Legatees coming into the office and conducting these calls.

My son and daughter have provided me with two handsome grandsons each. They range in age from 3 to 8 years. I love nothing better than to have ‘my boys’ sleep over on weekends. After all, what Grandma does not need a hand in the kitchen preparing meals, pulling weeds in the garden or washing their car? I lived in the United States of America for 13 years and can certainly relate to the old adage ‘there is no place like home’.
