TUCKER PARK Church Hill on Settlement51 CAPRUM DO WNS VIC, ?2Q1 PH: (03) 782 1203 4 "IQFrlFFinA££P..2ffir'PF" (From Manager, Mick Champ) TO BEGIN WITH, TWO APOLOGIES, FIRSTLY, IT WAS PLANNED TO DISTRIBUTE THE '•NEWS'' IN TIME FOR EASTER, AS IT IS, I'M ONLY JUST TYPING MY CONTRIBUTION ON, I MIGHT ADD, A BEAUTIFUL EASTER MONDAY AFTERNOON. SECONDLY, HAVING TALKED OUR EDITOR INTO USING A QUICK SKETCH OF THE CROSS ON TOP OF CHURCH HILL, I»D OVERLOOKED PROBLEMS IN USING DUPLICATING PAPER WITH A PHOTO-COPYING MACHINE - HENCE, A RATHER SMUDGY AND FEINT COVER SHEET. "LIFE BE IN IT - SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY" I GUESS SOME OF YOU HAVE SEE THIS COLOURFUL POSTER OUTSIDE THE TUCKER-BOX OR IN COX AND COLLINS COURTS. DESIGNED TO STIMULATE INTEREST AND ENQUIRY PROM MEN AND WOMEN IN THEIR MATURE YEARS, IT SHOWS REAL LIFE, ORDINARY PEOPLE IN THEIR LATER YEARS TAKING PART IN PASSIVE CONVENTIONAL LEISURE ACTIVITIES (GARDENING, CRAFTWORK AND CHESS) AS WELL AS OTHER MORE ACTIVE PURSUITS (BOWLING, DANCING AND WALKING). IT ALSO DEPICTS INNOVATIVE ACTIVITIES WHICH EXTEND THE RANGE OF OPPORTUNITIES WHICH MANY OF YOU COULD REALISTICALLY PURSUE AS, FOR EXAMPLE, SWIMMING WHICH SOME OF YOU NOW ENJOY WITH THE FORMATION OF OUR "PENGUIN" CLUB. I'M NOT TOO CERTAIN HOW ATHLETICS, YOGA OR ARCHERY WOULD COME ACROSS ALTHOUGH WE ARE THINKING ABOUT "KEEP FIT" CLASSES AND CYCLING. (IMAGINE DELIVERING MEALS-ON-WHEELS TO SOME HOUSEBOUND COTTAGE RESIDENT USING A 3-WHEELER »TRIKEj) PERHAPS YOU'VE SOME IDEAS OF YOUR OWN - IP SO, COME ALONG TO THE HALL ON MON 19 APR AT 10.30 FOR A GENERAL DISCUSSION AND TO HEAR JOHN WEBB (RECREATION OFFICER FOR OLDER ADULTS, AT THE DEPT. OF YOUTH, SPORT AND RECREATION IN MELBOURNE) SPEAK ON THE SUBJECT AS WELL AS WAYS IN WHICH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MAY BE FORTHCOMING TO ESTABLISH NEW INNOVATIVE ACTIVITIES. THIS ISN'T TO SUGGEST HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING HAPPENS AT THE PARK. INDEED AND WITH RESPECT TO FATHER TUCKER'S PHILOSOPHIES OUR MOTTO COULD WELL BE « SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY AT G.K. TUCKER PARK". VERY LITTLE STIMULATION OR MOTIVATION WAS REQUIRED IN ELECTING RESIDENTS ONTO THIS YEAR'S MANY COMMITTEES AND CLUBS WHICH ALREADY EXIST FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL. THIS . _ WAS GOOD AND ESPECIALLY WELCOME WERE MANY NEW COMERS TO " THE SETTLEMENT. PERHAPS I SHOULD ADD A THIRD APOLOGY FOR ALTHOUGH I PROMISED TO CALL ON EACH AND EVERY COTTAGE FOR THE PURPOSE OF DRAWING UP A LONGER-TERM MAINTENANCE/RENOVATION STRATEGY PROGRAM, IT - IS TAKING LONGER TO GET AROUND THAN ANTICIPATED. AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, APPLICATIONS AND GENERAL ENQUIRIES REGARDING ACCOMMODATION HAVE BEEN DECENTRALISED FROM OUR HEAD OFFICE IN FITZROY. THIS MEANS I AM NOW ATTENDING DIRECTLY WITH AS MANY AS A DOZEN OR MORE ENQUIRIES AND FOLLOW-UP ACTION EVERY WEEK FROM A LARGE BUT LOCAL GEOGRAPHIC AREA* THEREFORE, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A PART-TIME ADMISSIONS/WELFARE OFFICER IS APPOINTED TO ASSIST, I'M AFRAID SOME OF MY TIME IS UNFORTUNATELY DIVIDED BETWEEN THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE HERE, AND THOSEWHO WOULD LIKE TO BE HERE. AS FAR AS MAINTENANCE/REPAIRS GOES, ALL ROUTINE AND EMERGENCY REQUESTS ARE BEING ATTENDED TO BUT PLEASE CONTINUE TO USE THE WRITTEN FORM OF REQUEST, WHERE POSSIBLE. IT'S EASY TO FORGET A VERBAL OR CASUAL MESSAGE. A PROGRAM TO RENOVATE COLLINS COURT HOSTEL AND KIMPTON COURT COTTAGES IS NO LONGER A QUESTION OF "IF" BUT RATHER "HOW" AND TO SOME EXTENT, "WHEN". ANSWERS TO BOTH QUESTIONS ARE ACTIVELY BEING PURSUED WITH A VIEW TO STARTING WORK JUST AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE. BETTER STREET LIGHTING IN SOME AREAS HAVE BEEN AGREED TO BY CRANBOURNE COUNCIL. SEALING OF WILLIAMS ROAD IS SCHEDULED IN THE SHIRE'S 1982/83 ROAD-WORKS PROGRAM. A SECOND DAILY BUS (INCLUDING ONE ON SATURDAYS) WILl A$&8&NCE OPERATIONS - SUPPORT NEEDED FOR SUCH A SERVICE TO CONTINUE. FINALLY, THIS SUN (18 APR) "WALK AGAINST WANT". HOPE YOU'LL JOIN WITH ME AND OTHER RESIDENTS, INCLUDING MRS ANNIE PENNY WHO, AT 9 5 YEARS OF AGE, IS DETERMINED TO "BE IN IT" IN A SHORT' WALK AROUND THE SETTLEMENT. SEE YOU 2.15PM COX CRT. HEPLA HTED OUR "GUARDI AN TREE" S I R EDMUND HERRING, K.C.M.G.. K.B.E., D.S.O., M.C., E.D., K.ST.J, died in Melbourne in January, after a long illness. His wiFe, Dame Mary Herring, predeceased him only 10 weeks earlier. Throughout his long and Fruitful liFe Sir Edmund had been regarded as an outstanding Judge and Legal Practitioner, Soldier, Scholar and Sportsman. Born in the Central Victorian town oF Maryborough in 1892, Sir Edmund became Rhodes Scholar for Victoria in 1912. He studied at Melbourne University, and was continuing his studies at OxFord University when the First World War broke out. He served with the Royal Horse Artillery with distinction. Upon returning to Melbourne in 1921, he quickly established a sound legal reputation, becoming a King's Counsel in 1936. At the outbreak oF the Second World War he returned to Military Service in 1939 and commanded the Sixth Division Artillery in the Western Desert and Greek Campaigns. He was Major General in charge oF First Australian Corps and New Guinea Force during the decisive battles against the Japanese during 1942/43* In 1944 he became Victoria's ChieF Justice, a position he held For 20 years. During that time a number oF signiFicant changes were introduced into the Victorian legal system. Sir Edmund main­ tained an active interest in the Church oF England throughout his liFe. He served as President oF the Scout Association oF Australia and was Chairman oF the Board oF Trustees oF the Australian War Memorial, Canberra - two positions he held for many years. He was holder oF numerous official and honorary positions and was a Patron oF the R.A.C.V. from 1944 on. from "Royal Auto"(Feb.) ARCHBISHOP SIR FRANK WOODS, in the address at the Great Victorian's State Funeral in St. Paul's Cathedral on January 11th, said - "Sir Edmund Herring walked in Faith, but he did not wear his Faith on his sleeve, nor did he hide it under his coat. He didn't drive at people nor conFront them. (cont.) 1 HE PLANTED OUR GUARDIAN TREE Sir Edmund never thrust belieF on anyone, but he never hid his own. And he walked humbly without ambition, without one-upmanship, without selF-assertion. He was genuinely surprised when honors were heaped upon him. He walked humbly with his humble Lord, who never asserted his equality with God, but accepted the servant role. He knew that he had been giFted by God as an athlete, scholar, soldier, general, chief justice and deputy governor, and took no personal credit For his achievements. As a general he had remark- ability to get on with colleagues and superiors ( particularly with Generals Blarney and Mac Arthur) and it was held that his generalship was a prime factor in saving Australia from invasion during World War 2. Edmund Herring had a deep concern for children and had put his strength behind the Scout and Guide Movements. He was also very active in helping ex-servicemen, their wives and children. His Christian Faith had given him "untold riches oF mind and spirit" and he was deeply concerned that mary Australian boys and girls were being deprived oF those riches because oF the secularity oF State education. So he became one oF the Founding members oF the Council For Christian Education in Schools, and gave a great deal oF his time, means and wisdom to that organization. It pleased Edmund Herring all the more that the venture was made possible by the ecumenical co-operation oF the Churches. he had also been concerned that many people in industry were also deprived oF the spiritual riches to which they had a right. So he became the First President oF the Council oF the Inter-Church Trade and Industry Mission. He rejoiced that this Council, which is also ecumenical, sends Chaplains into industry. AFter the Service the cortage leFt for the Shrine oF Remembrance, and thence to the Necropolis, Springvale. P7 M -U M 'i'UM ..•HA.t*i4A i N This edition of the NEWSLETTER accompanies the celebration oF Easter and it is to that Festival that 1 want to bring some thoughts. The crucifixion especially demands some thought. For those who own Christianity, there needs to be some answer to the question,"Why was it that the Saviour died in this way?" For the Christian, the , Crucifixion cannot be an accident. It cannot be an inevitable necessity. The question, "Why the CruciFixion?" is an important one. J. can see no .diFFiculty For the non-believer. What he is mainly concerned with is Jesus* liFe. Something about the truth about Jesus appeals to non-believers. The Golden Rule (even if it is mis-translated "Try to live so that you don't hurt anybody",)appeals to most. The kindness oF this man Jesus appeals to most. The generosity of his teaching appeals to most. Those without any Faith at all can quote Jesus with satisfaction They can understand to a point, the liFe oF Jesus. They can never understand his death. For the non-believer, the death oF Jesus is evidence oF man's evil. For them it is inevitable that one so good should die.

  • 'Something Is Wrong with Our Army…' Command, Leadership & Italian
    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 14, ISSUE 1, FALL 2011 Studies ‘Something is wrong with our army…’ Command, Leadership & Italian Military Failure in the First Libyan Campaign, 1940-41. Dr. Craig Stockings There is no question that the First Libyan Campaign of 1940-41 was an Italian military disaster of the highest order. Within hours of Mussolini’s declaration of war British troops began launching a series of very successful raids by air, sea and land in the North African theatre. Despite such early setbacks a long-anticipated Italian invasion of Egypt began on 13 September 1940. After three days of ponderous and costly advance, elements of the Italian 10th Army halted 95 kilometres into Egyptian territory and dug into a series of fortified camps southwest of the small coastal village of Sidi Barrani. From 9-11 December, these camps were attacked by Western Desert Force (WDF) in the opening stages of Operation Compass – the British counter-offensive against the Italian invasion. Italian troops not killed or captured in the rout that followed began a desperate and disjointed withdrawal back over the Libyan border, with the British in pursuit. The next significant engagement of the campaign was at the port-village Bardia, 30 kilometres inside Libya, in the first week of 1941. There the Australian 6 Division, having recently replaced 4 Indian Division as the infantry component of WDF (now renamed 13 Corps), broke the Italian fortress and its 40,000 defenders with few casualties. The feat was repeated at the port of Tobruk, deeper into Libya, when another 27,000 Italian prisoners were taken.

  • The Australian Army's Independent Companies and Commandos 1940
    THE AUSTRALIAN ARMY’S INDEPENDENT COMPANIES AND COMMANDOS 1940-1945 Gregory Lewis Blake Thesis submitted for Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Canberra August 2019 i Abstract This dissertation examines the history of the Australian Independent Companies – Commando Squadrons during World War Two. There has been no collective history of Australia’s Independent Companies and Commando Squadrons and this dissertation aims to fill that gap in the historiography. The scope of this dissertation is broad and examines the Australian Independent Companies and Commando Squadrons from their initial formation in 1940, their operational history from 1942 until 1945, the manner in which the Army managed them during the war and how with the passage of time the nature of this management changed. The dissertation identifies an ongoing context between conservatism as represented by the traditional Australian Army ethos and the radically unconventional ethos of the initial Independent Companies. The contest was eventually won by the conservatives and this was manifested in the nature of the employment of the Commando squadrons during the last year of the war. It was, however, and incomplete victory with elements of the Army persisting with unconventional practices, reflecting the inability to establish a true consensus on the role Commandos were to play in the Army as a whole. Researching this history involved accessing archives in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, notable among these being the Australian War Memorial, The National Archives of Australia, the National Archives of the United Kingdom, the Liddell Hart Military Archives, the Dwight De Eisenhower Archives, The MacArthur Memorial Archives and The United States National Archives and Records Administration.

  • Australian Gunner Obituary Resource
    AUSTRALIAN GUNNER OBITUARY RESOURCE Lieutenant General Sir Frank Horton Berryman, KCVO, CB, CBE, DSO ( 11 April 1894 – 28 May 1981) Reproduced in the main from Wikipedia By Peter Bruce, OAM Frank Horton Berryman was born in Geelong on 11 April 1894, the fourth of six children and the eldest of three sons of William Lee Berryman, a Victorian Railways engine driver, and his wife Annie Jane née Horton. Frank was educated at Melbourne High School where he served in the school Cadet Unit and won the Rix Prize for academic excellence. On graduation he took a job with the Victorian railways as a junior draughtsman. In 1913, Berryman entered the Royal Military College (RMC) Duntroon having ranked first amongst the 154 candidates on the entrance examination. Of the 33 members in his class, nine died in the First World War, and six later became generals. Berryman rose to fifth in order of merit before his class graduated early in June 1915, because of the outbreak of the First World War. Berryman was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the Permanent Military Forces (PMF) on 29th June 1915 and again in the First AIF on 1st July 1915.
