SOUTH WEST PACIFIC AREA 1939 - 1946 PAPUA AND NEW GUINEA 1942 – 43 Port Moresby – Milne Bay – Kokoda Track – Sanananda – Gona BOUGAINVILLE 1944 – 1945 Pearl Ridge – Soraken Plantation NEW BRITAIN 1945 – 1946 Rabaul All effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this document, but you may have information that can be added. If so, please contact a member of the 55th/53rd Battalion Association. (REVISED MARCH 2018) - 3 - We are pleased to welcome you and present to you this booklet at the 2017 anniversary luncheon of the 55th/53rd Battalion Association. Today we celebrate all veterans of the 55th/53rd Australian Infantry Battalion and commemorate their achievements at Sanananda on the 75th anniversary of the battle that commenced on 7 December 1942. The soldiers that served in the Battalion volunteered for service from all over Australia, from varied walks of life, and from other nations. Together they reinforced that wonderful Aussie concept of mateship. They have our eternal gratitude for their courage, spirit and dedication in serving Australia and keeping our country a safe and free nation - a legacy that we so gratefully continue to enjoy today. There have been many commemorative re-unions over past years but we trust that this one today will be notable for you through its solemnity at the Cenotaph and the contribution of our special guests.

  • The Remarkable Pompey Elliott, Soldier and Senator*
    Vigour, Rigour and Charisma: * the Remarkable Pompey Elliott, Soldier and Senator Ross McMullin Pompey Elliott was a remarkable character, a household name. Shortly after his return from the First World War he was elected to the Senate and remained there until his death. He contested two federal elections, in 1919 and 1925. Each time he was the first senator elected in Victoria. He was so famous during the 1920s that any Victorian schoolboy surnamed Elliott was liable to be nicknamed Pompey. His remarkable reputation, which enabled him to top the Senate poll in 1919, was of course built during the tumultuous preceding years when he commanded the 7th Battalion at Gallipoli and the 15th Brigade at the Western Front. Pompey was a charismatic, controversial and outstandingly successful military leader. He was Australia’s most famous fighting general, revered by his men and better known outside his own formation than any other Australian commander. My aim today is to give you a glimpse of what was so special about him. Imagine a big, hefty, fleshy bloke, 36 years of age in mid-1914, married with two kids. A solicitor, conscientious about his legal firm, but passionately interested in soldiering. Someone who was a fierce disciplinarian, who openly declared that he subjected his men to more rigorous and demanding training than any other battalion endured. Someone who * This paper was presented as a lecture in the Department of the Senate Occasional Lecture Series at Parliament House on 11 October 2002. 1 frequently roared at officers and men under his command because they weren’t doing what he thought they ought to be doing.
