ASHLEIGH BROWN A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy University of New South Wales, Canberra School of Humanities and Social Sciences March 2017 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Brown First name: Ashleigh Other name/s: Rebecca Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: MPhil School: Humanities and Social Sciences Faculty: UNSW Canberra, AD FA Title: Lions led by donkeys? Brigade commanders of the Australian Imperial Force, 1914-1918. Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Australian First World War historiography tends to focus on the ordinary soldier: his background, character and involvement in the war. This is a legacy left by Charles Bean who, following the history from below approach, believed in the need for soldiers’ stories to be told. On the other end of the spectrum, attention is given to political leaders and the British high command. British commanders and, by extension, other Allied commanders are too often portrayed as poor leaders who were reluctant to adapt to modern warfare, and did not demonstrate a sense of responsibility for the men under their command. The evidence shows that this perception is not accurate. A comprehensive understanding of the progression of Australian forces on the Western Front cannot be gained without investigating the progression of those in command. This thesis examines the brigade commanders of the Australian Imperial Force who held that level of command for a substantial period while on the Western Front.

  • The Actions of Members of the New South Wales Legal Profession on Gallipoli Tony Cunneen, Beecroft
    Engaged to act on another Front: the actions of members of the New South Wales legal profession on Gallipoli Tony Cunneen, Beecroft Introduction Legal history is not simply the accumulation of cases, decisions and statutes. Around this framework swirl the private lives of the solicitors, barristers, judges, clerks and associated professionals who worked in the law. A profession gains part of its character from the private lives and experiences of its early members. Through its professional ancestors the New South Wales legal fraternity is connected to a range of institutions – everything from sporting groups, schools, universities and churches. One significant group has been the military. A practical demonstration of the law‟s connection to the military was the role its members played in the Great War of 1914 to 1918. The Great War haunts the chambers, corridors, conference rooms and lecture halls that house the lawyers of today. Such places hold memories of the many members of the legal profession who gave up the law to become soldiers. Some became senior officers. Others joined and served as private soldiers, despite in some cases, their advanced age and professional status. Many were killed. Outbreak of the War The legal profession joined in the general enthusiasm at the outbreak of the First World War. The Hon. Vernon Treatt MLA, then a law student at Sydney University, recalled „the excitement which prevailed in both class and common rooms and the efforts of even the youngest students to enlist.‟ He stated that the Law School removed one „embarrassing obstacle‟ by moving exams forward to facilitate enlistment.

  • Upholding the Australian Constitution
    LAWYERS IN ACTION DURING WORLD WAR I MAJOR GENERAL GREG MELICK, AO, SC On the 100th anniversary of the conclusion of World War I, it is appropriate we reflect upon the contributions made by lawyers during that conflict. Lawyers have always been prepared to enlist and have made up a substantial number of the leaders in all wars. About 300 barristers from New South Wales served in World War II, and at least 117 of them went on to become judges, including Sir Laurence Whistler Street, Sir John Kerr, and Sir Victor Windeyer, who was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (and Bar) and three mentions in despatches in his very distinguished service. Another former Chief Justice, Kenneth Whistler Street, fought in World War I and Sir Edmund Herring had a very distinguished war service having been awarded a Military Cross during World War I before being made a Commander of the British Empire and receiving a Distinguished Service Order during World War II. Sir Ninian Stephen also served in World War II. A significant number of legal practitioners combined their professional lives with active involvement in the armed forces around the time of World War I. Because of their skills and education, lawyers often became leaders which meant that they suffered disproportionate casualties as the Germans concentrated on officers who were distinguished by their uniforms, pistols and leadership activities. Soldiers for millennia have always been trained to shoot the leaders of the opposing 15 force, and the casualty rate of lawyers has been about twice the average casualty rate amongst other professions.

  • Solicitors in World War One Tony Cunneen BA, MA Dip ED. Contact
    Solicitors in World War One Tony Cunneen BA, MA Dip ED. Contact [email protected] Solicitors were demonstrably loyal to their country and Empire during World War I. True to these values, and sensitive to the obligations of social service, solicitors and their families involved themselves in the conflict either through enlisting in the armed forces or by supporting war related charities and organisations such as the Comforts Fundi or the Australian Branch of the British Red Cross. Solicitor WM Marks, who saw service in the British Navy on a minesweeper, expressed a commonly held attitude when he exhorted the assembled students of Sydney Grammar School to “rush to the colours and down the dirty Hun!. .What better can you do than to go out and die fighting for your country?”ii He survived the war. Others were not so lucky The first adventurous solicitors who enlisted in August 1914 went with the Australian Naval & Military Expeditionary Force (ANMEF) to fight in New Guinea. John Malbon Maughan, a 36-year-old solicitor from Neutral Bay was among them. Maughan was beginning a military career that would see him later survive fighting on Gallipoli then being wounded in action on the Western Front, where he would be awarded the high honour of the Distinguished Service Order. While the ANMEF battled the heat and humidity in New Guinea the first contingents of soldiers sailed from Fort Macquarie near Man o’ War Steps in Sydney Harbour. They expected to go to Europe but disembarked in Egypt. Colonel Leonard Dobbin, a 46-year-old Irish born solicitor commanded of the 1st Battalion.

  • Colonel Henry Normand Maclaurin – Banco 10 November 2016 [Introductory – Slide 2] Chief Justice, Judges and All of You Who A
    Colonel Henry Normand MacLaurin – Banco 10 November 2016 [Introductory – Slide 2] Chief Justice, Judges and all of you who are here today to honour those of our profession who served and died in war. On Wednesday 5th of May 1915, a little over 101 years ago, the then Chief Justice of New South Wales, Sir William Cullen summoned together the judges of this Court. He stopped the Court’s business at 10 o’clock that morning to convene a special sitting in the Old Banco Court. Sir William’s purpose was simple: he wished to honour the sacrifice of Colonel Henry Normand MacLaurin, who had been killed by a Turkish sniper a week earlier. MacLaurin was not only an Army reservist on full time service. He was also one of Sydney’s leading junior barristers. MacLaurin had died on 27 April 2015, barely two days after wading ashore with the first troops at Gallipoli. News of his death had just reached Sydney. MacLaurin was also one of the NSW legal profession’s first casualties of WW1. His death had profound significance for everyone practising in Phillip Street. One example will suffice: Sir William Cullen would shortly have two of his own sons fighting at Gallipoli. That May 1915 Banco Court audience knew MacLaurin well. He was their friend-in-law. They already knew his story. Let me tell you that story now. 1 MacLaurin was born in Sydney on 31st October 1878 into a family with a deep tradition of public service. He bore the same name as his father, Sir Henry Normand MacLaurin, a distinguished physician and conservative NSW statesman of Scottish descent.

Another well-known soldier who fully profession of arms ‘provide its practitioners with skills and combined his legal and military careers was the barrister Henry experience that serve them well in the other.’2 Considering Normand MacLaurin. this complementary skill set, it is not surprising that such a MacLaurin had been a well-known personage before the large number of Sydney barristers served with distinction in war.
