ETWEEN the Wars the Australian Army Nursing Service Existed Onl Y
CHAPTER 3 6 THE AUSTRALIAN ARMY NURSING SERVIC E ETWEEN the wars the Australian Army Nursing Service existed onl y B as a reserve, and in this respect was at a disadvantage compared with the British service, the Queen Alexandra Imperial Military Nursing Ser- vice, which had a permanent nucleus . In Australia records were kep t in each State of trained nurses appointed to the reserve and willing t o serve in time of national emergency, but the reservists were given n o training in military procedures, and no attempt was made to use their services even in militia training camps, from which the sick were sen t to civil hospitals. A matron-in-chief attached to the staff of the Director - General of Medical Services at Army Headquarters administered th e A.A.N.S., and in each State there was a principal matron who was respon- sible to the Deputy Director of Medical Services . The matron-in-chief an d principal matrons were required to give a certain number of days eac h year to military duty . From 1925 to 1940 the Matron-in-Chief was Miss G. M. Wilson. Late in 1940 Miss Wilson was sent overseas as Matron-in-Chief of the A .I.F. abroad, and Miss J. Sinclair Wood was appointed Matron-in-Chief a t Army Headquarters, where she served until 1943 . On her return to Aus- tralia in 1941 Miss Wilson retired . By this time Miss A . M. Sage, who had been in the Middle East, had also returned to Australia . Miss Sage took over as Matron-in-Chief, serving in this capacity until her retire- ment in 1952 . -

CHAPTER 1 5 ABDA and ANZA CN the Second World
CHAPTER 1 5 ABDA AND ANZA C N the second world war the democracies fought at an initial disadvan- Itage, though possessing much greater resources than their enemies . Britain and the United States had embarked on accelerated rearmamen t programs in 1938, the naval projects including battleships and aircraf t carriers ; but this was a delayed start compared with that of Germany an d Japan. Preparing for munitions production for total war, finding out wha t weapons to make, and their perfection into prototypes for mass produc- tion, takes in time upwards of two decades . After this preparation period, a mass production on a nation-wide scale is at least a four-years' task in which "the first year yields nothing ; the second very little ; the third a lot and the fourth a flood" .' When Japan struck in December 1941, Britai n and the British Commonwealth had been at war for more than two years . During that time they had to a large extent changed over to a war economy and increasingly brought reserve strength into play . Indeed, in 1940, 1941 and 1942, British production of aircraft, tanks, trucks, self-propelled gun s and other materials of war, exceeded Germany 's. This was partly due to Britain's wartime economic mobilisation, and partly to the fact that Ger- many had not planned for a long war. Having achieved easy victories b y overwhelming unmobilised enemies with well-organised forces and accumu- lated stocks of munitions and materials, the Germans allowed over- confidence to prevent them from broadening the base of their econom y to match the mounting economic mobilisation of Britain . -
The Story of the 2/12Th Australian Field Ambulance Banner and Honour Roll
(ANZAC Day Magazine – March 2011) Feature Article (The story of the 2/12 th Australian Field Ambulance Banner and Honour Roll (with kind thanks to the ( then ) Rover Leader John (“Spud”) Murphy. I wrote a small piece in our June 2010 magazine and since then “Spud” has provided me the following details). Coogee Rover Scout Crew. In early 1992, after a recommendation from the NSW Branch HQ, we were contacted by Mr Ron Mierendorff who represented the 2/12 th Field Ambulance, to ask if we could carry their unit Banner and lead their members in the 1992 ANZAC Day March. Ron explained that their youngest member was now into his 70’s and they were having trouble finding unit members strong enough to carry their Banner, particularly if strong winds were blowing. It required two men to carry the Banner! It was also suggested that our “crew” consider making it a permanent undertaking in future ANZAC Day Marches. The proposals were “put to the crew” for their views, and it was “unanimously agreed” that this would be a crew obligation on the 25 th of April each year, following our Dawn Service commitments. And so another Coogee Rover Crew tradition began. In March 1996, Mr Mierendorff again contacted us and asked if we would consider becoming the official custodians of their Banner AND the AHS Centaur “Role of Honour”. This was a unique request, because in 48 years of Scouting I’d never heard anything like this before. My immediate thought was what a great honour for a Rover Crew to be asked to be custodians of a Military Unit Banner and the AHS Centaur Role of Honour. -

REGISTER OF HERITAGE PLACES ASSESSMENT DOCUMENTATION 11. ASSESSMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE Cultural heritage significance means aesthetic, historic, scientific, social or spiritual value for individuals or groups within Western Australia. In determining cultural heritage significance, the Heritage Council has had regard to the factors in the Heritage Act 2018 and the indicators adopted on 14 June 2019. PRINCIPAL AUSTRALIAN HISTORIC THEME(S) • 7.7.1 Providing for the common defence • 7.7.2 Preparing to face invasion • 7.7.3 Going to war HERITAGE COUNCIL OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA THEME(S) • 501 World Wars and other wars 11(a) Importance in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Western Australia’s history Cape Peron K Battery Complex is important as a component of Australia's coastal defence system erected in response to external threats during World War II. The Battery formed part of the chain of gun emplacements erected in the west during the war, referred to as ‘Fremantle Fortress’, stretching from between Swanbourne, Cape Peron, Leighton, Woodman Point, Fremantle, Garden Island, and Rottnest Island. Cape Peron K Battery Complex demonstrates the military importance of Cockburn Sound during World War II. Cape Peron K Battery Complex has been associated with the defence of Australia since its acquisition by the Commonwealth in 1916. 11(b) Importance in demonstrating rare, uncommon or endangered aspects of Western Australia’s heritage Cape Peron K Battery Complex demonstrates a distinctive method of coastal defence that is no longer relevant in the age of modern warfare. Although part of a chain of coastal defences established in Western Australia during WWII, the apparent lack of consistency in the design of some of these places makes each rare for its ability to reveal information about the innovation Register of Heritage Places Cape Peron K Battery Complex 3 13 October 2019 of defence personnel and their adaptation of coastal defence sites to suit local conditions and requirements. -
Executive Summary
Point Peron “K” Battery Conservation Management Plan March 2016 Executive Summary i) Background The South West Corridor Development Foundation Incorporated (SWCDeF Inc) appointed Hocking Heritage Studio to prepare a conservation management plan (CMP) for the Point Peron “K” Battery site, following an approach by the Point Peron Rehabilitation Committee (PPRC) and the securing of grant funds for this purpose. The PPRC was established in late 2014 by the Hon. Phil Edman MLC as a voluntary committee of stakeholders with an interest in rehabilitating the historic Point Peron Battery “K” structures built during World War II. The PPRC propose that a museum should be established on the site of the former Barracks/Recreation Camp in the northern part of the Point Peron headland, to recognise the important defence role of Point Peron as part of the “Fremantle Fortress” and to house safely valuable memorabilia and artefacts gathered to date. The CMP forms the first step in the larger Point Peron Restoration project, which seeks to rehabilitate the site, conserve the structures with possible adaptive reuse for some elements of the infrastructure, and introduce improved visitor services whilst celebrating the role these structures played in the coastal defence of Western Australia during WWII. Fremantle was the Allies’ major Indian Ocean gateway during World War II and as such needed to be defended. Point Peron “K” Battery was one of seven similar gun emplacements built between 1937 and 1945 to defend major Australian ports from bombardment by warships. By 1967, all of the batteries had become obsolete and were closed down. As with the other sites, Point Peron was stripped of its guns and has since been left to fall into a state of disrepair. -

VISITORS — CHISHOLM CATHOLIC COLLEGE Statement by President THE PRESIDENT (Hon Barry House): I welcome to the public gallery students from Chisholm Catholic College. I believe they are year 11 students. Welcome to the Legislative Council, and I hope you enjoy your tour of Parliament House. GAZETTED WATERSKIING AREA — ROWLES LAGOON Petition HON MARK LEWIS (Mining and Pastoral) [10.03 am]: I present a petition with 518 signatures couched in the following terms — To the Honourable the President and Members of the Legislative Council of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We the undersigned residents of Western Australia are in support of legalising a gazetted ski area on Rowles Lagoon whenever it has available water to ski safely. A section of Rowles has a traditional use for skiing and has been gazetted in the past by the Department of Transport but recently this is being opposed by the Department of Parks and Wildlife. The park needs to cater for recreation and conservation which we believe can operate together if zoned and managed appropriately. Your petitioners therefore respectfully request the Legislative Council to recommend re-gazettal of Rowles Lagoon as a water ski area to allow the goldfields people an area to undertake water skiing whenever it has available water to ski safely. Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that you will give this matter earnest consideration and your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
