Introduction

The Australian Lebanese Historical Society Inc. was formed in 1999 and incorporated in New South Wales in June 2006. The Society aims to encourage scholarship in the study of the history of Lebanese settlement in Australia, highlight the contributions those of Lebanese heritage have made to Australian society and to promote the establishment of archives relating to this history.

The Society first envisaged that it could act as conduit for people who wished to deposit historically important material to public collections. This, however, proved to be impractical because private citizens tend not to have historical papers arranged in a fashion where they can be transferred to an archive without much cost and staff resources. Even large public archives tend not have the resources to accept unarranged, unsorted papers into their collections. Moreover, the Society needed to lobby public collection managers for them to understand the historical importance of what is on offer.

The material the Society acquired was often donated by members and supporters who saw the value of the material they held but could not find a repository. It was also acquired as a result of research undertaken for various Society activities, exhibitions and publications.

Over the last 17 years Society volunteers led by Paul Convy as honorary librarian have built on what was at first just an accumulation of papers into a working library and archives collection with finding aids and access points to allow the collection to be used by researchers.

The collection provides a good overview of this history of Lebanese settlement in Australia; of use to academic and other researchers as well as family and local historians. The material includes of published works, photographs, press clippings, memorial and obituary cards, and ephemera. It includes the images of the 1st and 2nd waves of Lebanese migration to Australia (analogous to having the images of 1st and 2nd Fleeter of 18th century settlers). It shows the transnational nature of Lebanese migration with closely related members of families in the United States and Canada and other parts of the world. It shows Australian Lebanese in a non-stereotypical picture of settlement in a new community. It has biographical treatment of many Australian Lebanese including pioneering business people and hawkers, commercial leaders, political figures and others from the arts, literature and other endeavours.

The Society has only limited resources and there is no guarantee that this historically important collection can be maintained forever, or that the current custodians will be able to maintain it in the long term or give access to researchers. It was felt by the Board of the Society that the best course would be to lodge the society’s archive collection with a publicly accessible institution. In 2015 the National Library of Australia accepted the offer of the Society to lodge the collection within their manuscripts collection. This will not only safeguard collection for future generations but also provide a central point in the national capital where researchers are able to easily access material during library hours.

The papers are stored under in the manuscript section of the Library with the call number MS 10162.

Over the last year since the papers have been prepared and dispatched to the Library, a small amount of addition material has been donated to the collection and described, indexed and arranged will likely fill another type 1 archive box, which can be added to the collection in Canberra. There are still opportunities for additional material to be added as it is acquired.

DIGITISED COLLECTION STILL IN SOCIETY’S HANDS The vast majority of the collection has been digitized, including all of the photographs and is stored on the Society’s computer hard drive – and is available for use by the Society at any time. The Treasurer has a backup copy on another separate hard disc. 1

1920s Passport of Alexander Alam and his wife Therese from the collection of the Australian Lebanese Historical Society Inc.

The passport is an important item in the collection because it demonstates something of the life and career of the Alams, Alexander Alam was a significant political figure in New South Wales and Therese Alam was an import figure in the social and community life of of the Australian Lebanese and general community from the 1920s through to the 1970s.

The passport is also historically interesting because it is a “British” passport issued to the children of Lebanese (then called “Syrian”) immigrants and because Therese, an important person in her own right, was included on her husband’s documentation.

Boxes 1 to 9: Research Files under Subject Headings The first nine boxes of material consisted of material arranged in subject order from the research files of the Society, and were originally housed in a filing cabinet. This material was acquired as a result of research undertaken for various activities and publications of the Society and other material donated to the collection by members and others that related to the history of Lebanese settlement in Australia. Formats included press and magazine clippings, journal articles, postcards, business letterheads, memorial and obituary cards and other types of ephemera. Other than the subject headings there were no other indexes to this material. The headings relate mainly to the surnames adopted in Australia by Lebanese settlers, and the towns and places they settled as well as a number of broad heading relating to the history and sociology of that settlement. Because the transliteration of names from Arabic to English could produce many variations, even within the same families, single headings based on surnames covered included the spelling variations. For instance, material about the Batros and Betros families were included under the one heading for “Batros, Betros”.

“The Braidwood district's Chinese heritage”, Dr Barry McGowan - Braidwood & District Historical Society Inc. website (http://www.braidwoodmuseum.org.au/Chinese.html - accessed 18 Jan 2014) Shong Foon Nomchong arrived in Australia in the 1860s and was a storekeeper on the Mongarlowe goldfields, later setting up a store in Braidwood. He sent for his brother Chee Dock, who was living in California, in 1877 and the two men became business partners. In 1881 he married Ellen Lupton, a European woman; they had four children. After Shong Foon's death in 1889, the Mongarlowe business was sold and Chee Dock concentrated his business activities in Braidwood. He married a Chinese woman and became the patriarch of a large family with responsibility for Shong Foon's family as well as his own. Chee Dock's family were adherents of the Roman Catholic Church and very highly respected in the town and district.

Chee Dock's family was heavily involved in philanthropic and charitable activities and owned many businesses. Sometime in the early 1900s he added fruit and confectionery to his shop, developed a flourishing general store business and began a carrying business plying between Braidwood, Tarago and Nelligen. With the advent of motorised transport, he acquired a trucking fleet to carry a wide range of produce throughout the district and the south coast. Later he purchased several pastoral holdings in the district. Chee Dock's thirteen surviving children were almost all, whether male or female, involved in the family businesses, although some also started their own. One of his sons, Leopold (Mick) also managed several rural properties in partnership with his father, and ran a liquor business in town. Another son, Paul, began a movie theatre in 1913, and ran several other enterprises such as an electrical business, a furniture and drapery store and an auctioneer's business. The Nomchong family business did not close until 1980, after 103 years of trading and the family still operates important retail businesses in Wallace Street today.

Australian War Memorial - http://www.awm.gov.au/collection/RELAWM31898/?image3&thumbnails=true “Wrist watch from sinking of Hospital Ship Centaur : Driver G W McGrath, 2/12 Field Ambulance”

Driver George Wilfred McGrath was aboard the Hospital Ship Centaur in May 1943 when it was sunk by a Japanese submarine. McGrath was born at Braidwood, NSW on 28 October 1917. He enlisted on 13 July 1940 and was assigned to the Australian Army Service Corps (AASC). Some AASC men were attached to Field Ambulances to undertake motor transport duties similar occupations and McGrath was attached to the 2/12th Field Ambulance (Fld Amb). On 12 May 1943 the Centaur sailed unescorted from Sydney, carrying her crew, normal medical staff, and the 2/12th Fld Amb, together with their stores and equipment.

McGrath almost did not depart Australia on-board the Centaur. He was visiting his father at the family property near Braidwood while on leave when an Alert for Movement was received by the unit. The Orderly Room Clerk, SX15374 Driver Richard Cavanagh sent an urgent telegram to the McGraths requesting George McGrath's immediate return. This telegram did not reach McGrath's father until after the Centaur had been sunk. Severe flooding in the area had caused delays and his father only received the telegram on the same day as a telegram advising him that his son was in hospital as a result of the sinking of the Centaur.

When the telegram was sent, McGrath had already left the family property and was visiting his sister at West Ryde, Sydney on the way back to his unit. Meanwhile Cavanagh happened to meet Monica Mullins, McGrath's fiancée. She told Cavanagh where McGrath was, and McGrath was ordered to return to his unit. Cavanagh also sailed with the Centaur and died during the sinking.

The ship was sunk without warning by a torpedo fired from the Japanese submarine I-177 on 14 May 1943 at around 4am, about 80 kilometres east north-east of Brisbane. Of the 332 people on board, only 64 survived, one of them being George McGrath. He was one of 13 survivors (numbers vary in different accounts) from the 2/12th Field Ambulance.

As he had no pyjamas, McGrath went to bed like most others on the ship, in his underwear. When the ship was torpedoed, he made his way through the ward on the port (left) side where had he slept with several of his mates, through the narrow companion way leading to the stern. During the boat drills earlier in the voyage, McGrath's position was on the port side of the stern, so presumably he was attempting to make his way there. Once on the deck, McGrath and another man tried to release a float on the stern, which was rising steeply out of the water. However they could not release it and jumped into the water, McGrath losing his underwear in the process.

After some time in the water, he managed to find a float with other survivors. This float eventually carried 22 survivors. They later found an upturned life raft which was believed to contain rations, however they could not right it as there were sharks in the area that had become aggressive. They did manage to attach a hatchway cover to the float with rope, and to lessen the stress on the float, four of the fittest men, including McGrath, sat back to back on the hatchway cover. McGrath was naked, except for this wristwatch, although he managed to cover himself to some degree with a Red Cross pennant he found. His sight was affected by the sea water and oil and he found that he often had to keep his eyes shut for relief.

That night a submarine surfaced nearby. One of the men on the float, thinking it was a friendly submarine, lit a flare. This was quickly knocked into the water and extinguished as it was feared the submarine was a Japanese boat, possibly the one that sunk the Centaur and there were fears the survivors would be machine gunned. On the afternoon of 15 May the survivors were spotted by a RAAF Avro Anson bomber that was a look out for the American destroyer USS Mugford, who was escorting the British steamer Sussex, clear of Australian waters.

The survivors returned to Australia to recover and for the unit to reform. During this time McGrath married his fiancée Monica Marie Frances Mullins. Monica Mullins was born on 14 May 1917 at Kings Lynn, England. Mullins enlisted in the Australian Women's Army Service on 22 October 1942 and was assigned the service number NF440681. She was a bombardier in charge of a searchlight battery at Port Kembla, NSW. They married on 28 September 1943 in Ashfield, Sydney. She was discharged on 28 October 1944.

After a three-day honeymoon McGrath rejoined the reformed 2/12th Fld Amb which was reinforced by the 4th Light Field Ambulance. After a period of training he served with the unit at Moratai, Tarakan, Labuan and at Miri at Sarawak. The unit then travelled to Kuching on the Hospital Ship Wanganalla, where they evacuated prisoners of war. McGrath then returned to Australia and was discharged on 18 December 1945. After the war McGrath and his wife lived at Braidwood, and later Canberra, ACT. George McGrath, the last Centaur survivor of the 2/12th Field Ambulance, died in 2006.

Similar events were also run in the United States. The badge was designed by Mrs Frances Woolcott, Honorary Organiser of the Melbourne branch of the Commonwealth Button Fund and the design was approved and registered (No 3905) on 20 November 1917. Over £7,300 was collected nationally during this appeal. 6. Small coloured and printed felt pennant for Cleveland Street School, 1856-1956 Centenary, 1956.
