  • The History of the North Beach Sub-Branch 1945 – 1991
    HISTORY OF NORTH BEACH SUB-BRANCH WESTERN AUSTRALIA 1945 to 1991 Original Edition was Edited by Joe W. HARRIS and Compiled by Ron E. TOMLINSON This Edition of The History of the North Beach Sub-Branch of RSLWA 1945 to 1991 has not altered, or added to, that originally published. No attempt has been made to edit the content, as it reflects original input and recollections of the members of the Sub-Branch. It has however been reformatted to provide the Sub-Branch with a digital copy in a form that can be distributed to members or added to should the Sub-Branch choose. Brian Jennings Member North Beach Sub-Branch RSLWA July 2020 © North Beach Sub-Branch of the RSLWA 2020 2 PREFACE This history makes no pretence of being founded on actual records until early 1962, as all minutes of meetings from the foundation date were burnt in a fire that destroyed the then Secretary's shed. It has been compiled up to that time from the memory of early members. In most cases over 45 years have elapsed since the members joined the Sub-Branch and many are 75 years old and over. You will therefore appreciate their difficulty in recalling names and dates accurately. Over the last five years I have been urged by the long -term members to put together this History but have lacked the facilities and the know how to complete the task. When Joe Harris joined the Sub-Branch and later published a book to enlighten his family on his service in the Army, I approached him to assist the Sub-Branch with the use of his computer, to produce this History.

  • Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy in the Diocese of Honolulu 1862-1902 Final Edition (2012, Corrected 2018)
    Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican clergy in the diocese of Honolulu 1862-1902 final edition (2012, corrected 2018) The “Reformed Catholic Church of Hawai’i” began with the consecration of the first bishop of Honolulu, Thomas Nettleship STALEY in 1861. In 1872 the diocese became the “Anglican Church of Hawai’i”, under his successor Alfred WILLIS the second and final bishop of Honolulu. On WILLIS’s resignation in 1902, the see became the missionary district of Honolulu within the Episcopal Church of the United States of America, and in 1969 the diocese of Hawai'i. This biographical directory lists some 58 clergy who passed through the diocese of Honolulu in the first forty years of Anglican church life. Few priests were in the diocese more than a year or two. Several lives are evasive shadows. The Honolulu church initiative confronted a complex changing society in Hawai’i. Their royal patrons and the indigenous Polynesian people were pressed aside as the commercial interests of North American (and European) planters drove all before them. Their plantations were worked by imported Chinese and Japanese workers among whom the diocese did begin work. The inadequacies of diocesan leadership and the crippling lack of funding overwhelmed quixotic hopes, leaving a divided and worn Anglican remnant to be rescued by the Episcopal church of the USA in 1902. While these entries were compiled from the best evidence available, the compiler had no access to primary documents in Honolulu. The full Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy in the South Pacific (which includes about 1,500 priests) may be found on the Project Canterbury website http://anglicanhistory.org/nz/blain_directory/ That directory was compiled without funding but with assistance from hundreds of correspondents and agencies from 1991.

State government and city authorities refused to assist unless the memorial was utilitarian, a stance deeply opposed by a State War Memorial Committee committed to a monument and shrine. However, the familiar debate about utility versus monument in war commemoration not only underlined tensions about the visible public recognition due to returned soldiers and the way that the fallen should be honoured, it coalesced around the problem of how the concepts of sacrifice and trauma generated by the First World War might be memorialised and represented. This article pursues the argument that sacrifice and trauma are crucial to understand why the Committee rejected a utilitarian memorial and persisted with their monument scheme.

    City of Subiaco - Heritage Place Record Name Terrace Houses Other Names Archbishops Row Note: This name appears to have been given to the place when it was renovated in c.1980. Charles Riley, the Anglican Bishop of Perth, was the owner of the site immediately prior to its development in 1904 and the name possibly reflects a mistaken belief that he was responsible for the construction of the terrace houses. Address 18-32 Catherine Street Subiaco Lot Number 131, 34, 37, 40, 43, 46, 49, 152 Photograph (2014) Construction Date 1904 Architectural Style Federation Filigree Historical Notes Building lots along Catherine Street had been laid out by 1891, but initial development was slow and there were no buildings along the eastern side of the street until 1904. In February of that year a block on the corner of Catherine and Gibney (later York) Streets (Lot 23 and Part Lot 22) was purchased by Minnie Lloyd. Minnie’s husband, William Lloyd, commenced work almost immediately on the construction of the first group of four terrace houses, advertising for bricklayers for the site in March of that year. By May 1904 he was advertising a house on the corner of Catherine and Gibney (now York) Streets for rent: A FIVE-roomed HOUSE, bath, copper, troughs, splendid position, one minute from tram or train, only £1 weekly to good tenant. W. LLOYD, Gibney and Catherine sts., Subiaco In April 1904 Minnie Lloyd purchased the adjacent block along Catherine Street (Lot 24 and part 22) and building work continued with the construction of a second group of four houses, creating the current terrace of eight.

  • A Trinity Man Abroad Geoffrey Bolton
    A Trinity Man Abroad Sir Winthrop Hackett Geoffrey Bolton There was a time when Western Australians remembered the goldrush decade of the 1890s as ruled by a triumvirate of Sir John Forrest, Winthrop Hackett, and Bishop Charles Riley. As one elderly man put it to me: 'Forrest ran the politics, Hackett ran the press, and Riley was minister for junket'. This was never quite the whole story, as Riley did not arrive until 1894, and Forrest had other powerful advisers such as his brother Alexander and Charles Harper; but it reflected the power that influential individuals in strategic roles could exercise in a small community, as well perhaps as the Masonic links between Hackett and Riley. None of the triumvirate has an adequate biography although as I write the publication of Frank Crowley's magnum opus on Forrest is imminent. Good short accounts have been written for the Australian Dictionary of Biography by Lyall Hunt on Hackett and Peter Boyce on Riley, but the bigger studies have yet to come. In Hackett's case a number of issues remain for clearing up. We are not even sure about the date and place of his birth, although 4 February 1848 is the usual account. More significantly, it is sometimes hard to reconcile the younger Hackett with the elder statesman who was Western Australia's cultural commissar in the twenty years before his death in 1916.
