2063 Lance Corporal William Dalton Lycett The ‘Great War’ Diaries of 2063 Lance Corporal William Dalton Lycett 4th Field Ambulance, AIF 15th Aust. Light Railway Operating Co. 1914 – 1919 About the writer: William Dalton Lycett was born in Middlesborough in the County of Durham on 28th November, 1890, the eldest son of Harry (b. 7.3.1869) and his wife, Mary Hannah Dalton (b. 8.12.1872). By 1908 the family had grown to six boys - Will, Harold, Harry, Fred, Cliff and Frank and the youngest child, Dorothy. The family moved frequently in the Middlesborough-Hartlepool area and eventually returned to Crewe in Cheshire where Harry's family lived. Here Will and his father worked in the Railway Workshops where Will served his apprenticeship as a boilermaker. As the diaries testify he also had a wide circle of friends here and took an active part in Church and musical activities. In 1910 the family migrated to Melbourne and for some time Will was very lonely until he became a member of the Burns Club. Here he played soccer and became a member of the Victorian Soccer Team, and here also he met his Daisy (Daisy Gertrude Hill, b. 24.1.1891). When war broke out he enlisted, on 12th September 1914, and was sent to Broadmeadows Army Camp. His diaries tell the story of his war, and inadvertently, much of himself. What they do not tell is the story of the women at home, his Mam who at one time had her husband and four sons in France and knew the grief of losing a son, and Daisy, whose fiance and two brothers were there. Her brother Vic also never returned. It is cause for regret that none of those letters written and received during the four year period have survived, they would surely have completed the picture. After his return to Australia, on 31st March 1919 he and Dais. were married and eventually lived most of their lives together in Essendon in close proximity to Will's parents and the families of his brothers and sister. He worked at the Railway Workshops at Newport, and was deeply involved in Freemasonry, but his health was consistently poor as a result of his war experiences, and he was never again the cheerful, sociable young man who went away. Will and Daisy raised two children, Evelyn born in 1923 and Bill in 1931. Some time after Daisy's death in 1964 he went to live with his son's family and became a great mate of his youngest grandson, Tim, who listened by the hour to his Pa's stories of Gallipoli and France. These tales engendered a great interest in the history and events of the First World War and it is Tim who now owns the diaries and has initiated this transcription. Will died on 5th April, 1975, and despite living in Australia for 65 years still cheered for the English cricket team and was always an English gentleman.

Should anyone find this book and not be able to return it to the owner, will they please sent it to Miss D. Hill 40 Mirams St Ascot Vale Melbourne Victoria Australia Look on last page Tuesday 22nd December, 1914 We broke camp at 10 a.m. and marched to the Broadmeadows Station where we entrained for Port Melbourne and boarded the S.S. Berrima which is to take us to our destination which is unknown to us at present. We left the wharf at 5 p.m. and steamed till 6.30 p.m. when we dropped anchor off Sandringham where we remained for the night. Wednesday 23rd December, 1914 We raised anchor and steamed away at 5 a.m., reaching the heads about 7.45 a.m., after passing which we dropped the Pilot and took in tow the Australian Submarine AE2, continuing our journey in pleasant weather with no further events of note for this day. Thursday 24th December, 1914 I forgot to state at first that the bugle sounded lights out at 9 p.m. when every man is supposed to be in his hammock. I woke on this morning after a lovely night's sleep at about 6 a.m. and on getting on deck found we had lost some time through the hawser which connected the submarine to our boat parting at 4 a.m.. This had been fixed up and we were off again but at 9.30 a.m. the same thing happened again and we had to heave to for a couple of hours while it was fixed up again. I started this morning to give a hand in the hospital at meal times. The hospital is splendid and we have at present 6 cases, all minor. The food has been splendid so far and this afternoon I was told to have my meals and to sleep in the saloon along with the rest of the tent division, up to now we had been sleeping below with the other men. We had a concert in the evening and there were some very good items. Page 4 Friday 25th December, 1914 Xmas day on the water with a church service at 10 a.m. which I could not attend as I was on duty in the hospital. We are somewhere in the Australian Bight. I had a splendid dinner pork and plum pudding being the chief items. The afternoon and evening passed away quietly with nothing else worthy of note. Saturday 26th December, 1914 Boxing Day, we sighted a steamer which we think is the Ulysses, it has been in sight all day. I have been assisting all day while Captain Dawson has been vaccinating the troops. Sunday 27th December, 1914 Sunday very quiet, everyone busy writing in case we touch Albany tomorrow. Monday 28th December, 1914 Anchored outside Albany this morning about 6 a.m.. Moved to within half mile of wharf about 10 a.m. No chance of getting on shore. We finished the vaccin. this morning. A lot of the boys have been fishing over the side and have caught a lot of Mackerel, I had no line. We had a Patriotic Concert tonight. Tuesday 29th December, 1914 Still at Albany, nothing doing. Steamer Port Macquarie at wharf on fire but nothing serious. Wednesday 30th December, 1914 Still at Albany, everything quiet. Wish we would get a move on. Thursday 31st December, 1914 Left Albany 9 a.m., very quietly. It seems to be a quiet place. Still have submarine AE2 in tow. Page 5 1915 Friday 1st January, 1915 New Years Day. We have a general holiday and have a sports meeting in the afternoon. I am now doing duty at the dispensary, giving any assistance I can at the sick parades which are held at 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. and any bandaging that may have to be done. The sports were fairly successful considering the circumstances under which they were held, we have about 1200 men on board. I did not enter for anything. There are 17 vessels in our fleet and they are steaming 4 abreast with our steamer the Berrima leading by about half mile, they look very impressive. We were stopped for about a quarter of an hour about 12 noon and were told afterwards it was because there had been a burial on the S.S. Themistocles. The day came to a close with a beautiful night. Saturday 2nd January, 1915 Awoke this morning about 5.45 a.m., a splendid morning. We had 98 men on sick parade this morning, none serious, mostly colds and effects of vaccination. The submarine AE2 cast off this morning and went scouting round on her own, we don't know what is the reason. I hear 2 of the transports have broken down, anyhow they have dropped right back. We finished the sports this afternoon, the A.M.C. won the relay race and reached the semi final of the tug of war but were beaten by the Railways. We had a lecture at 4 p.m. from Capt Dawson on rolled bandaging and also a little practice, it is very interesting. This was the tent division of A Section only. Am just going to have a smoke and then turn in, weather still lovely and tucker good. Sunday 3rd January, 1915 Jumped out of my hammock at 6 a.m. and got cleaned and dressed in my uniform as it is Sunday, feel quite smart again after wearing my blues, did not get to church parade as I was busy getting ready to dress vaccinations when church parade was over. I joined in some of the hymns while I was working and could see and hear everything through the porthole in the dispensary. We had 98 men on sick parade at 7 a.m. and after church parade were very busy dressing arms (Vacc) till dinner time. I lay down on one of the beds in the dispensary after dinner as there was nothing doing. We had news that Major Stewart of C Sec. 4th Field Amb., who is on the S.S. Agana, has contracted Typhoid, don't know if it is serious or not. We hove to at 4 p.m. to take in tow again our baby Submarine AE2. Monday 4th January, 1915 Donned the blues again this morning and went on duty at dispensary for sick parade at 7 a.m.

  • MES Goes MAD for MADE
    Two at MES Cairo has been a very positive and exciting one for all of us. It started with Term the school receiving an outstanding report from both the BSME (British Schools of the Middle East) and the BSO (British Schools Overseas) accreditation bodies. In order for international schools to be registered by the UK Department for Education, they must go through a tri-annual inspection process which proves that the quality of the education provided is ‘satisfactory’ or above. The report emphatically states: ‘MES Cairo is an outstanding school. It provides education that is well above the standards required for BSME accreditation.’ Out of the nineteen schools worldwide that have been accredited, MES Cairo is one of only three schools in the Middle East to be given the status of ‘outstanding’. I am extremely proud of this wonderful achievement and would like to thank all of the dedicated MES Cairo staff for working so hard to take forward the vision of the founders and to make our school the great educational establishment that it is. The British accreditation process is very detailed and constructive and leaves no stone unturned! As well as visiting classrooms, holding discussions with staff and closely inspecting all of the school’s official documentation, the accreditors investigate all aspects of school life. They examine our results, look at evidence of achievement and interview parents and students in order to gain a broad view of the school’s operation as a whole. We are a learning organisation and this means that we will not now sit back and rest on the basis of the outstanding BSME/BSO report.

Public Morality in Imperial Cairo, 1882-1949 Abstract I investigate the social history of Egypt under British imperial occupation through the lens of morality in order to understand the contestation of cultural change and authority under empire. Points of cultural cleavage between European and local inhabitants in British-occupied Cairo included two customs, gambling and the consumption of intoxicants, which elicited sustained and dynamic reactions from observers of Egyptian society on the local and international level. I show that the presence of alcohol and gambling in public spaces in Cairo contributed directly to the politicization and selective criminalization of public morality.

  • Feasibility Study of Smart Materials Usage in Outdoor Spaces
    FEASIBILITY STUDY OF SMART MATERIALS USAGE IN OUTDOOR SPACES 1DINA ABUHENIDY, 2YASSER FARGHALY, 3FAHD HEMIEDA 1,2,3 Architectural Engineering Department, Arab Academy For Science, Technology and Maritime Transport, Alexandria, Egypt E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract- Outdoor spaces contribute to a large extent towards the problem of resources depletion. These spaces include built environment, landscape elements and lighting fixtures which consume a lot of energy sources. These spaces also are in continuous subjection to high levels of vandalism and deterioration, leading to frequent maintenance requirements. Nanotechnology offered new means towards adjusting the properties of materials to invent new smart materials, which are able to react towards the surrounding environment. In architecture, they are considered as alternatives for traditional materials as they suggest the feasibility of energy consumption and frequent maintenance requirements reduction, improving building performance and protecting more resources from depletion, for more sustainable architecture and environment. Objective: To illustrate smart materials various application in outdoor spaces as coatings, lighting fixtures and furniture Aim: To evaluate the feasibility of smart materials usage in outdoor spaces to reduce the energy consumption and high frequency maintenance requirements with minimum environmental impact. Methodology: A case study was conducted in Heliopolis Sporting Club, Cairo in Egypt. Comparative analysis

  • Interview Transcript As
    Australians at War Film Archive Richard Winn (Dick) - Transcript of interview Date of interview: 4th March 2004 http://australiansatwarfilmarchive.unsw.edu.au/archive/1508 Tape 1 00:41 Well thanks Doctor Winn for talking to us today. The first thing I’m going to ask you to do is just give a brief summary of your life from birth till now. Well I was born in, on the twenty-second of February 1921 01:00 in England. To explain that, my father was Australian, he was an Australian medical officer in the First World War on Gallipoli and France and he was awarded the Military Cross there. And he lost a leg in the fighting and so while he was recuperating 01:30 in England, he met my mother and they were married in January 1918. And so they came back to Australia where my sister was born and they went back to England again for study and treatment and I happened to be born over there. And my sister says that she was conceived in England and born in Australia, while I was conceived in 02:00 Australia and born in England. So I’m strictly a Pommy [Englishman], but the only dissension occurred at test cricket times when my father would barrack for the Australian test cricket team and my mother would barrack for the English and I wasn’t sure who to barrack for. And just, if you could explain where you grew up and where you went to school and just continue on with your life in a summary? 02:30 Well my first recollections, my father was a general practitioner at Bellevue Hill on the tram line.
