Anzac Day 2018 Commemorative Service Speech by Her Excellency Professor the Honourable Kate Warner Ac Governor of Tasmania Deloraine, Wednesday 25 April 2018 1 ANZAC DAY 2018 COMMEMORATIVE SERVICE SPEECH BY HER EXCELLENCY PROFESSOR THE HONOURABLE KATE WARNER AC GOVERNOR OF TASMANIA DELORAINE, WEDNESDAY 25 APRIL 2018 Good morning everyone. May I begin by paying my respects to the traditional and original owners of this land— the Tommeginne and Pallitorre people. I acknowledge the contemporary Tasmanian Aboriginal community, who have survived invasion and dispossession, and continue to maintain their identity, culture and Indigenous rights. Thank you to the Deloraine Returned and Services League of Australia Sub- Branch for inviting Dick and me to the Deloraine Anzac Day Service. I know that Anzac Day in Deloraine each year comes together as a result of community inclusion. All of your service clubs play a vital role in making Anzac Day possible, along with the many community clubs, schools, special groups, and sporting clubs contributing in any way they can to assist. On behalf of the Deloraine Sub-Branch of RSLA I thank you for your support. Today is the second time since I have been Governor of Tasmania, that I have had the opportunity to deliver the Anzac Day address away from Hobart. In 2016 Dick and I travelled to Evandale to commemorate the day with that community and reflect on the sacrifice that town and district had given in the service of their country. For me this is the essence of Anzac Day, a local event around a town’s cenotaph, which is an opportunity to respectfully remember those who have been killed, wounded and traumatised by war including the devastating effect of war on lives back home. Around Tasmania today there are more than 80 Anzac Day services from Avoca to Zeehan. 2 The Tasmanian War Memorials Database describes this war memorial site at Deloraine as a, quote, “Most impressive war memorial set in a lovely park beside the Meander River”i. It certainly is that. The database also provides a detailed list of those who fought and died in that period of 1914 – 1918 and the conflicts that Australian service personnel have fought in since. As we approach November 2018 and 100 years since the end of the First World War, it is poignant to reflect that there are 108 names on this memorial of Deloraine men who fell in that conflict. This is out of a total of 410 names of men who served in this war from the Deloraine municipality. Staggeringly, one man in four who served from this municipality lost his life. What a devastating impact this must have had on their loved ones, the community and its resources. I would like to spend some time today in reflection of one of those men, whose name appears on this memorial and then on the achievements of one other soldier from this area, who fought at Beersheba and who was awarded a Military Cross for his actions in that battle. The first name on the War memorial in front of us is that of William Henry Andrewartha, a married storekeeper from Dunorlan. Records held in the Australian War Memorialii indicate that William was 23 and married to Grace Andrewartha when he enlisted. He was enlisted as a Private and assigned to the 15th Infantry Battalion of the 1st Australian Imperial Forces (AIF). After his initial training, William embarked from Brisbane, Queensland, on board HMAT Kyarra in January 1916. He served in the Western Front. It is recorded that shortly after arriving in France William was posted to the 47th Infantry Battalion, and sometime later he was promoted to the rank of Corporal. William died of wounds he received on active service on 5th August 1916. He is buried in the Puchevillers British Cemetery, Puchevillers, Picardie, France.iii A word now about James Norbert Griffin, from Dunorlan, who enlisted on 18th August 1914, aged 24 years. Already in uniform, James had been serving in the militia as part of 26th Squadron, Light Horse Regiment since 1912. iv 3 A good soldier and a fine horseman, James proved to be a competent member of the 3rd Light Horse Regiment, his posted unit: so much so that by 1916 he was a Warrant Officer Class 2 and holding the position of Squadron Sergeant Major. In July 1916 James’s Commanding Officer recommended that Griffin be promoted to the rank of Second Lieutenant, a recommendation that had as its final approval signature that of Major General Harry Chauvel, Commander of the Desert Mounted Corp. James was a Lieutenant holding the position of Troop Commander when late in the afternoon of 31 October 1917, the soldiers of the Brigadier General William Grant’s 4th Light Horse Brigade made its famous and decisive Cavalry charge to capture the stronghold of Beersheba and its wells. The capture of Beersheba meant that the Gaza-Beersheba line was turned. Gaza fell a week later and on 9 December 1917, the British troops entered Jerusalem. For his part in the capture of Beersheba, James was awarded a Military Cross, the citation for which reads, and I quote: “For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He led his Troop into action with great courage and skill, repeatedly advancing under heavy machine-gun and rifle fire, which enabled his Squadron to advance across exposed ground. His personal courage proved a fine incentive to his men.”v James returned home to Tasmania in May 1919. He was finally discharged in September 1919, returning to civilian life as a farmer at Whiteford Hills. He did however remain as a serving member of the militia. In February 1920 as part of his visit to Tasmania, General Sir William Birdwood came here to Deloraine to personally award Captain James Norbert Griffin the Military Cross. The Examiner newspapers of 25 February 1920 records the occasion, and I quote: “General Birdwood received a most enthusiastic welcome at Deloraine… A dense mass of people assembled before the Town Hall, where a double line of returned Soldiers were drawn up… 4 “The general passed up and down the lines, renewing acquaintance with the returned soldiers, after which Captain Griffin was called up to receive at the hands of General Birdwood the Military Cross won by him at Beersheba, Palestine. When this had been pinned on by the general, the crowd cheered lustily.” End of quote.vi In an article in the Examiner article published on 12 April 2014, James’s son Jim Griffin recalls that his father went on to become a Major-in-Charge at Mona Vale during World War II and was 61-years-old when Jim was born in 1950.vii So, there we have two contrasting Deloraine stories this Anzac Day. Memory of them, the 108 names on this memorial, our memory of all who have served their country in battle and behind the lines, friends and foes, should remain with us today. And we should not forget the devastating impact on those who remained at home. The 1000 Turkish soldiers who died in the Battle of Beersheba, had families too. Finally we should not neglect our living veterans. There are many former ADF members who are homeless. A University of Western Australia study found almost half of 2952 former ADF members who had experienced homelessness in the last year were found to have a serious brain injury, PTSD or head trauma.viii They need our help. We should remember them all.

The RAAF has commenced a safety investigation after a C-27J Spartan which had an incident on landing during a routine training flight at Waco Airport, Texas, USA, on the 18th May. Thankfully, no one was injured in the incident. Local news sources in Waco say the RAAF C-27J Spartan was involved in a serious incident that damaged the aircraft and the airport’s main runway, closing the airport to all other traffic for about 18 hours. It is reported that two tyres blew out as the pilot made a landing after a training mission before 1am Tuesday local time. A TV News in Waco published this photo of the C-27J disabled on the runway A Vol 55 Page 9 The airport was closed and at least 180 American Eagle commuter passengers had their flights cancelled. One local news source quoted an assistant Waco fire chief as saying the airplane had attempted a landing but may have touched down short of the runway and damaged two tyres. Firefighters were dispatched to the incident when it happened but there was no fire and no one was injured. In a statement, the RAAF thanked local airport, emergency services and security staff who assisted with the recovery and apologised for the inconvenience to other airfield users. The flight was a pilot-qualification flight for RAAF pilots converting to the new aircraft, flown alongside industry instructors, a RAAF spokesman said. Air Force aircraft are serviced and flown under a very strict and controlled airworthiness and safety system.

  • The Battle of Beersheba
    CHAPTER XXIII BATTLE OF BEERSHEBA IN the assault upon Beersheba the divisions of XX Corps were to strike north-east lietween the Khalasa-Beersheba road on their right and the railway on their left. The Wady Saba, after clearing the town on its way from the east to the Ghuzze, ran through this sector on the railway side. While the Goth and 74th Divisions advanced on the Turkish ring of defences between the wady and the Khalasa road, troops of the 53rd Division were to smash the defences north of the wady. This attack was intended to draw the main strength of the Turkish garrison to oppose the British infantry, and thus to let Chauvel’s mounted men enter the practically unopposed town from the east. The enemy held Beersheba with his 27th Division, reinforced by a few battalions from tlie 16th and 24th Division; his defences extended from Tel el Saba on the Wady Saba, east of the town, through a series of detached groups of trenches round the south and south-west. These earthworks were placed on commanding positions with good zones of fire; but on the east and south they were not protected by wire, and as trenches they were inferior to those on the Turkish line further west. The Turks had clearly reckoned on the safety which the absence of water on the British side apparently gave to the town; they were prepared for a raid with “ about one infantry and one cavalry division,” but they were not ready for such a force as Allenby was speeding forward on the night of October 30th.

The battle opened a gap in the Turkish line that eventually resulted in the British takeover of Palestine. The British command saw the cavalry charge of the 4th Light Horse Brigade as a new tactical opportunity, and this fac- tored into the initiative for new light tank forces designed around the concepts of mobility and flanking movements. What these commanders failed to realize was that the Palestine Campaign was an anachronistic theater of war in comparison to the rest of the Great War. The charge of the 4th Light Horse, while courageous and vital to the success of the Battle of Beersheba, also owed its success to a confluence of advantageous circumstances, which the British command failed to take into account when designing their light tank forces prior to World War II. BATTLE OF BEERSHEBA 4 The Battle of Beersheba: Strategic and Tactical Pivot of Palestine World War I has taken its place in the public perception as a trench war, a conflict of brutal struggle between industrial powers that heaped up dead and wounded and for- ever changed Europe’s consciousness.

  • A Centenary of the Great War
    A Centenary of the Great War From the Evacuation to Armistice Extracts from the USCQ Magazine December 2015 to December 2018 United Service Club Queensland The Story Behind the Stories The idea of including a “History Page” in the Club’s Magazine was born in mid-2015 when the Club’s History Interest Group United (HIG) suggested that we should commemorate those of our members killed in action during the Great War on the centenary of their deaths. As convenor of the History Interest Group and author of the History Note “Men on the Board – Great War Honour Roll”, I volunteered to write the stories for each month’s edition. Any errors of fact, grammar, punctuation, etc are therefore my fault. The concept grew to include a short month-by-month narrative of how the war unfolded across all theatres, but mainly on the Western Front and in the Middle East. The idea was to try to draw a global chronological picture of the war as it seemed that most formal texts did not provide the broader picture and therefore did not enable most readers to imagine how the war progressed or picture how it affected Australia (both our forces and the home front) on a month-by-month basis. By the time the first edition was ready, the Centenary years were well advanced: the Australians had already been evacuated from Gallipoli to Egypt; the AIF was about to be reorganised and expanded; the infantry divisions and bulk of the AIF would soon be redeployed to the Western Front; and the Light Horse would soon be utilised in the Egyptian and Palestine campaigns.

  • H,Ir Lloyd George Was Most
    CHAPTER XXVIII THE LAST CAMPAIGN JhT PALESTINE IT will be remembered that at the time of the capture of Jerusalem (9th December 1917) h,ir Lloyd George was most eager for the Allies to direct their blows not at Germany direct, on the apparently impenetrable Western Front, but at her “props” in the Balkans or Middle East. His adviser, General Wilson, while chief of the Joint Allied Staff at Versailles, secured the Supreme U7ar Coun- cil’s conditional approval of an offensive in Palestine. But at that time Allenby, harassed by the winter rains, which broke down roads and railway, wanted to under- take for the present only a much smaller task-to adjust his northern front on the one hand; and on the other to strike out across the Jordan to co-operate with Lawrence’s Arabs, who were harassing the Turkish garrisons in Arabia by constantly attacking the pilgrims’ railway by which these garrisons were supplied. Lloyd George, how- ever, wanted a much more extensive operation, a thrust northward to Aleppo in Syria; this, he assumed, would cause the Turks to abandon their allies. Allenby was accordingly asked what force he would require for it. His estimate was colossal; but General Smuts, being sent to Palestine to advise the War Cabinet, suggested that, as a thrust from Palestine to Aleppo would incidentally cut Turkish communications with Mesopotamia, the campaign in Mesopotamia should be relaxed and part of the Indian infantry and cavalry there brought to Palestine. This was accordingly done; but by then the great German “hlichael” offensive of March 1918 in France PALESTINE AND SYRIA, SHOWING THE BRITISH LINE (BLACK) IN FEBRUARY 19x8, BEFORE THE RAIDS ON AMMAN AND ES SALT Feb.-June 1 g 181 PALESTINE, 1918 had put an end to all plans for an early decision in Pales- tine.

  • Brigadier General William GRANT CMG, DSO*, VD
    Brigadier General William GRANT CMG, DSO*, VD [1870 – 1939] William Grant, grazier and soldier, was born on 30 September 1870 at Pleasant Creek (Stawell), Victoria, son of Scottish-born Edmund Craigie Grant, miner and later mine-owner and grazier, and his wife Elizabeth Ann, née Parkinson, from England. He was educated at Brighton Grammar School and Ormond College at the University of Melbourne from which he graduated Bachelor of Civil Engineering in 1893 and received a rowing blue. He was employed on railway construction in New South Wales in 1894, but after his father's death that year he gave up engineering for the land and bought Bowenville station on the Darling Downs, Queensland, in 1896.

In 1901 Grant was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the Queensland Mounted Infantry (militia). He was old for his rank (31 years) but education and a flair for soldiering made up for this. 'He was a typical light horse subaltern', according to General Sir Harry Chauvel, 'tall, lithe and wiry, and full of dash and energy, and I early had my eye on him as a possible leader'.

  • CHAPTER XIX the Orders to the Imperial Mounted Division Left A
    CHAPTER XIX THE SECOND GAZA ENGAGEMENT-confinued. THE orders to the Imperial Mounted Division left a large amount of discretion to General Hodgson. He was to demon- strate strongly against the Atawineh defences, and so hold the enemy on his front and away from Gaza, where the main attack was being made by the infantry. If the opposition was not excessive, his brigades were to push right through-in which case the horses would be brought up and the troops of Desert Column might have done destructive work against the enemy’s rear. Orders which allow such latitude in fulfilment, although often unavoidable, are seldom satisfactory in action. Passed to brigade and from brigade to regiment, they lead, unless communications continue exceptionally good, to different in- terpretations by different leaders. Some regiments will main- tain their advance; others, perhaps on a more difficult sector, will be brought to a halt. At the second Gaza engagement the regiments of the 3rd and 4th Light Horse Brigades met with opposition more formidable than had been anticipated by General Dobell; but all treated the advance as one to be made regardless of cost, and fought on with their utmost strength and ingenuity to reach the Turkish line The advance of Hodgson’s division was to some extent disorganised by the premature action of the 3rd Light Horse Brigade under Royston. The regiments had marched from bivouac in the darkness, crossed the Ghuzze, and, half-choked with the dust raised by the horses, moved forward on compass bearings. They had then deployed, mounted, before dawn, a delicate operation in unknown country, hit here carried out with complete success.
