On the 4th August 1914, German troops began pouring over the border into Belgium, starting the first major battle of what was to become World War I (aka The Great War). ANZAC forces were involved in the plan for an assault on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey, which, if successful would have allowed a direct attack on the Ottoman Empire‟s capital, Istanbul. The plan was authorised by the British after a great armada of Royal Navy and French Navy were decisively defeated by the Turkish Forces at the Straits of Dardanelles on 18 March 1915. ANZACs landed on 25 April 1915 at Anzac Cove, Gallipoli. After eight months of heavy fighting, the ANZAC troops were withdrawn on 20 December 1915.

2 FOREWORD – Chairman, Friends of Gallipoli Inc. The Gallipoli campaign was a tragic event; in 1915 a million men fought each other on that now famous peninsula in Turkey, with nearly half of them becoming casualties. However, the respect and friendship which arose between the Australians and the Turks, the foes of yesterday, is something that is rare.

The Anzac Gallipoli Commemorative [Memorial Garden] Project although initiated by Friends of Gallipoli Inc. [FOGI] has been a truly collaborate effort of FOGI and the Hampton RSL Sub-branch. The details of the Project is in Addendum Section. This book project which complements the Memorial Garden at the Hampton RSL has been assisted by the Sandringham and District Historical Society, by providing the original manuscript. FOGI with this publication is proud to commemorate the Fallen Diggers of ANZAC at the Hampton RSL. This Memorial will increase the awareness of the significance of sacrifice at Gallipoli in the community. It will also remind local residents, businesses, people and students on the terrible impact of war and what effects it had on the communities, on all sides of the conflict. A project of this calibre also creates a lasting legacy related to the Gallipoli campaign and provides resources for future generations. The grant funding provided by the Victorian Veterans Council is gratefully acknowledged.

We believe that it is likely to foster pride within the City of Bayside and the residents by making them aware how their predecessors made a contribution more than one hundred years ago. Friends of Gallipoli Inc. believes that such a book will assist in building a strong and engaged community and increase harmony by acknowledging the suffering and common heritage shared by all participants of the Gallipoli campaign. Lest we forget!

The 100th anniversary of the landing of ANZAC troops at Gallipoli has come and gone when we were provided with an important opportunity to reflect upon the contribution that Australia‟s servicemen and women make towards the safety and security of our nation, particularly during times of war. With this Anzac Gallipoli Commemorative Project related book we are able to recognize and to commemorate those from our own immediate community who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives for our country on those far away Turkish shores. It is also important to remember that the sacrifice of the Turks defending their homelands was much more than all the Allied Forces combined.

The development of the Project and the associated publication such as this is a significant undertaking initiated by Chairman of Friends of Gallipoli Inc. Dr John Basarin OAM, assisted by the Sandringham and District Historical Society, wherever possible, to trace family trees, obtain biographical information and photographs of each of the Fallen Digger is to be highly commended. Through their efforts we are able to understand the contribution of our own residents to this defining event in Australia‟s national consciousness. This E-book is also a wonderful example of Bayside‟s capacity to collaborate across the community and should be recognised as such. The Gallipoli Memorial Garden Project was aided by strong support from the Hampton RSL Sub-branch. The voluntary contribution of Good Constructions was vital in completing the Project and should also be acknowledged. “Anzac Gallipoli Memorial Garden” is an invaluable and important historical asset that will ensure that we, as a community, will never forget.

4 INTRODUCTION, President, Sandringham & District Historical Society The Sandringham & District Historical Society Inc ‟s contribution to this book comprised the research of war records and family history of ninety- three service men and women who made the supreme sacrifice at Gallipoli from the area now known as the City of Bayside (Sandringham, Hampton, Black Rock, Beaumaris, Brighton and areas of Cheltenham and Highett west of the railway line). All of these servicemen and women were born, resided, schooled or enlisted in our district, and therefore, included in this book.

During the conflict at Gallipoli, Turkey, an estimated 8,700 Australians, 2,700 New Zealanders, 28,000 British, 10,000 French and 86,000 Turks were killed, died of wounds or missing. Many thousands more were sick or injured. When Dr John V. Basarin OAM, Chairman, Friends of Gallipoli Inc. contacted our Society in 2020 with the idea for this research to be part of their very important 2021 “ANZAC Gallipoli Remembrance Project‟ we were delighted. The 2021 project incorporates this traditional printed book, and a physical sculpture with QR codes to provide instant access to the stories of each of the 92 Fallen Diggers. This project will benefit many people but there is no doubt that school children will be much more engaged with the Gallipoli story and the stories of our Fallen Diggers using digital technology.

The information about each of the Fallen Diggers was found in a number of different sources. These include but are not limited to:

 Sandringham & District Historical Society research for the Memorial Plaque, Green Point, Brighton Beach.  National Australian Archive  Australian War Memorial (including images of the diggers)  AIF Project (UNSW & ADFA copyright)Victorian Births Deaths and Marriages indexes  ANZACS.ORG  ANCESTRY.COM  TROVE (digitised newspapers were the primary source accessed)

We have also been able to include some personal items from relatives of those listed herein and our thanks go to those individuals for their kind and generous donations. If you have any further information regarding the servicemen of our area, whether included in this publication or not, please do not hesitate to contact the Sandringham & District Historical Society Inc. www.sandringhamhistorical.orga.au or [email protected]

HEAD. —On the 3rd June, at the Dardanelles, Corporal Colin W. Head, younger son of Lieut.- Col. J. Head and Mrs. Head, of 4 Bowen crescent, St. Kilda road, Melbourne, aged 19 years (killed in action).

The following- particulars of the careers of those who have fallen or J been wounded at the Dardanelles will prove of interest to our readers:— Corporal Colin Head. Australia's 37th casualty list contains the name of Corporal Colin Head, another Kyneton soldier hero, who has joined the march of the deathless dead and left his sacred dust on Gailipoli's heights—heights stained scarlet with the blood of Australia's noblest sons—sons fallen fighting for King and country, for you, for me. We are staggering under these lists as day after day they come, with new names added, and in us is growing a national sense of ownership, of kinship, with the mighty dead. Their fathers andmothers and sisters and brothers and wives and sweethearts mourn for them. But that is not all. "They have stood in front of the foe for us. They have held the foeman at bay for us." and our tears fall for all who have fallen while wearing the khakie to defend us, or, as Father Abram Ryan, the Irish- American poet,wrote:

14 “Gather them, one and all, From the private to thechief; Come they from hovel or princelyhall They fell for us, and for them will fall The tears of a nation’sgrief.” Kyneton's list of wounded and dead is sadly long. All of us remember Corporal Colin Head, as he stood, a gallant figure, that night in September 1914—not a year ago—when Kyneton residents said "Good-bye" to their first volunteers,or when they cheered them as the train drew out from Kyneton station. Many are there who will mourn young Colin Head, and many who will feel proud to think they knew him. Manly, chivalrous, athletic, staunch and true, he was an idealyoung soldier, and as the younger son of Colonel and Mrs Head, of St.Kilda, he was reared in a military atmosphere, and should have had a noble career before him. but it was willed otherwise. Like Sergeant O'Leary and Privates Hutchinson and Harold Chambers and Henry Hird and many another brave son of a brave father, he fell as he won his spurs. The greatest of sympathy will be felt for his father and mother and sister, Colonel and Mrs Head and Miss Lois Head, and for Mr Russell Head, his brother, with whom Corporal Colin Head was associated in the management of their farming property at Piper's Creek. On receipt of the news by wire on Saturday night Mr Russell Head returned home to Melbourne. Corporal Head was an old Melbournian, one of the gallant band of447 Melbourne Grammar School boys who have risked their all at their country's call. He was a great sport and Kyneton's Collegian Football Club and Kyneton Cricket Club to-day are mourning a manly comrade and a brave player of thegame.

Captain William Ross HOGGART

Captain Hoggart enlisted on the 9th Oct 1914. He was aged 38 years, married and living at 164 St Kilda-street Brighton, Victoria. He had married Rebecca Jane AEDY in 1907. Born 22nd August 1876, [Birth cert. 1876 14249 Beaufort Vic] he had been educated at Flinders School, Geelong, Victoria & Melbourne University (B.A.) & State Teacher Training College, Carlton, Victoria. He was a schoolmaster at Melbourne Church of England Grammar School. He embarked with the 14th Infantry Battalion on 22 December 1914 on HMAT Ulysses A38 from Melbourne and was killed in action on 27 Apr 1915 at Quin’s Post, Gallipoli, Turkey, aged 38 years, two days after landing at Gallipoli.

CAPTAIN HOGGARTS DEATH. Captain F.H. Wright of the 14th Battalion of the Australian Expeditionary Force, has written from a hospital ship telling of the death of Captain W R Hoggart of the same battalion. He says: -"It was our first day of really strenuous fighting and Captain Hoggart had part of his company up with ours when we rushed and occupied an important forward position. The enemy was pressing us very strongly and our casualties were pretty numerous, but we were holding on well. Suddenly a machine- gun opened fire on our flank grazing the fingers of my left hand and smashing my rifle. Our senior subaltern was hit in the chest, and it is doubtful whether he will recover, while several men went down. It was impossible to locate the gun, and another burst of fire played havoc in our hastily constructed trenches. Captain Hoggart then most bravely ran round to see if he could find out where the fire was coming from, and was immediately fired on and killed instantly. The date was April 27, I think, but as I am myself suffering from concussion from a shell-burst my head is not quite clear. He was givena proper burial, and our chaplain (Captain Gillison) read the service. In the meantime we can only mark his resting place with a cairn of stones and a rough wooden cross. This has been done."

"EVEN IF I GIVE MY LIFE."

In a letter received by his wife in Moonee Ponds from Sergeant Major Hughes, 14th Battalion, then in hospital at Alexandra, he writes - "My company defended ridge. A machine gun was turned on us. We stayed all night and the next day and night and out of a company of 206 we lost 10 killed 36 wounded and 6 missing, On May 1 we took up another position and No 3 Company were losing very heavily. We were supports, when it was noticed that the Marine Light Infantry, who were on our right were firing very dangerously close to us. Someone had to go and tell them to stop; and as no volunteers were forth coming, I asked two men to come with me, knowing it was my duty to save my men, even if I gave my life. We had got near to their trenches when a shrapnel shell burst just behind me and I was struck just at the bottom of the back, and as I lay there a sharpshooter put an explosive bullet through my thigh for luck, so I rolled halfway down a bank until picked up by the stretcher bearers I tell you candidly, I have gone through the mill. I have now hada fortnight in bed, and am heartily sick of the sight of it. When at the front I thought I would give anything for a week's sleep. I have had two weeks, and another six to look forward to. I saw Corporal Howart shot in our first engagement, also Captain Hoggart, my captain when in B Company".

He was an old boy of Caulfield Grammar School, where he spent five years in preparation for what proved to be a most brilliant university career. Before leaving school he passed with honors at the matriculation examination, and subsequently gained honors throughout his whole course at the University. He specialised in physiological chemistry and pathology, gaining first class honors and the exhibition several years in succession. He was awarded the University scholarship in pathology, and was sent to the London University, where he took up an appointment as demonstrator at St.Mary's Medical School. Later he was awarded the Sharpley scholarship in physiology in University College, London. This scholarship was of the value of £150 a year, and gave to the holder, who was required to undertake certain teaching work, wide opportunities for research work. When an important international commission was formed to investigate mountain sickness Dr.Mathison, in company with professors from several European universities, was sent to make experiments and collate results at the summit of Mont Blanc. Last year the new pathological department was established at the Melbourne Hospital. Dr. Mathison, who returned from England, was placed in charge of it.

58 Captain Mathieson led up a party of stretcher bearers— the last that can have gone into the open that day. He let it be known, "Wherever I am wanted just tell me and I will try to go.' After the worst of the stress was over, about four o'clock that afternoon, Captain Mathieson was sitting outside his dug-out far back down the creek putting on his boots, when one of the so-called "spent bullets," which fell thickly down the creek, shot him in the head. He never recovered consciousness, and died shortly after reaching hospital in Alexandria. '

LIFE ON A TROOPER

JOURNEY TO EGYPT TOLD

TROOPS KEPT EMPLOYED

Writing to his father, Judge Moule, Mr H. O. Moule, who is a member of the First ImperialExpeditionary Force, tells something of the journey toEgypt.

"I wish I had a turn for scenic description, for really, when we moved out on Sunday morning the sight was magnificent. Sun shining on the barren granite cliffs, and the flagship leading the way out passed small islets of bare rock jutting out from a sea of the most heavenly blue. Ours is the flag ship of the left squadron, and there is a flagship of the centre, and of the right. The line is about nine miles long, and there is about one mile between the lines, flanked and led by cruisers. Should pick up the rest of the escort tonight.

"Saw the Trinity lads tonight and had a pow-wow. Had a bath.A most eventful day.Was put on the hammocks—splicing the rope ends up. Made a very good job of it, but we had to work on the troop deck .which is under the horses. Am off to bunk."

A few days later Mr Moule writes: — "Am not regular in this screed at all –missed a couple of days. 'A' squadron has been vaccinated 48 hours. A beautiful set of arms we have. Ran into a squall day before yesterday— many more flattened. A cruiser, steamed down the lines from for'ard today very imposing. Had to stand to attention .while she passed. Have been watching the lights coming up on the different ships—most poetic. Don't suppose there has been seen such a fleet in the Indian Ocean. Ordinary routine of physical and musketry drill continues. Lecture on sanitation last night.

'The medley of sound in the troop deck is astounding — mouth-organs, penny-whistles, gramophones and the. trumpeter teaching his mate. Saw flying fish for the first time. Bayonet exercise this morning, afterwards kit inspection — much needed for one's clothing seems to get moist when shut up so long.

"Fire drill this afternoon. The troop deck is like Hell with all the ventilators closed and the wind sail

72 pulled in. Am one of the noble band of firemen. We are getting the first taste of tropical heat. It will be very hard drilling in the sun. Am bursting for some literature, but cannot get hold of any. Pay day tomorrow. The fellows are sitting round picturing a meal they would order at the Francatelli — some ideas are extraordinary. Have been mess orderly for three days — a trying game with the heat.

"Intense excitement yesterday when news came that H.M.A.S. Sydney had engaged the enemy. Our escort was flying round in all directions. Tremendous relief when news came that Emden had struck. Hadmeant to do a lot of writing this week, but have no pen,and lights are out at 6 p.m. We have a very busy time— got to draw rations and meals, and keep tables and floor clean. Have had time to do a lost (sic) of washing for myself while on orderly, and can have a shower (salt) four times a day: Were paid the other day; 1/ a day is what we get. Can't get over the novel feeling of drawing pay for workdone."

The Late Lieut B. Atkinson Fund.

Friends of the late Lieut B. Atkinson, only son of Rev J. C. Atkinson, of Clayton, intend to have a stained glass window put in St Matthew's Church, Welling ton, and beneath. the window a brass plate suitably inscribed will be space to add names of any other members of the above church who may die for the king and country. Anyone wishing to give to this fund may send their contributions to H. Broom, "Green Hills," Springvale, hon treasurer. As the majority of us know this brave young man, who, like many more went to fight for our freedom among a greatly daring people, leaving home and loved ones to help to rescue our bleeding nation but perished in the attempt, and as he was the first member of our church to be killed the opportunity arose of paying a tribute of appreciation to his memory. He has gone, appreciated by every section of our citizens, and leaves behind a memory that will be always pleasant to cherish. May the earth lay lightly on his grave and God give a place in Eternal mansions to his genial soul. Liberty! thou art a prize truly and indeed invaluable! for never cans't thou be too dearly bought.

Thee, Dardanelles, thy wild heath among Thee fam'd for martial deed and sacred song, To thee we turn with swimming eyes; Where is that soul of freedom tied; Immingled with the mighty dead; Beneath the hallow'd turf where Bertie lies: Hear it not, Bertram, in thy bed of death; Ye babbling winds in silencesweep, Disturb not ye the hero's sleep.

A FALLEN HERO - Both the Port Phillip and Sandringham Yacht Clubs had arranged racesfor. last Saturday, to be sailed over their usual club courses, but shortly after mid-day news was received that .Corporal Reg.Woods had been killed in action, and out of a mark of respect to his father and the memory of the deceased soldier, both races were abandoned. Corporal Woods was a son of Commodore Woods, of the Port Phillip Yacht Club, who is well known as the owner of Vendetta, the crew of which yacht the soldier yachtsman was a member prior to enlisting for active service. All yachtsmen in Port Phillip Bay will undoubtedly extend their sympathy to Commodore Woods in the loss of his son, who was a keen yachtsman, and lent considerable aid in the building ofVendetta.

145 EPITAPHS OF GALLIPOLI

(An extract from the full document at http://www.anzacs.org/epitaphs/epitaphs.html) Listed here are the epitaphs of all Australian and New Zealand soldiers who died during the Gallipoli campaign and who have a known grave in any one of the 31 military cemeteries in the Helles, Anzac or Suvla sectors of the GallipoliPeninsula. All epitaphs appear here in exactly the same form as they are inscribed on each headstone, except that the originals are all in upper case letters. The epitaphs were usually supplied by the soldier's family. New Zealand soldiers normally did not have epitaphs engraved on their headstones, as the New Zealand government of the time did not offer this option to the families of its soldiers, but in the case of 'Special memorials', a standard epitaph was inscribed. This was 'Their Glory Shall Not Be Blotted Out' Please note that this is NOT a complete list of all Australian and New Zealand soldiers who died at Gallipoli. This is a complete list of those who have a known, marked grave which is located in one of the cemeteries on the Gallipoli Peninsula. Many more soldiers have no known grave. They have no headstone. Their names are inscribed on the memorials to the missing.

Trooper Alexander Donald McLEOD

No 13/209, Auckland Mounted Rifles, NZEF, Trooper Alexander Donald McLeod was the only son (and eldest of four children) of Donald Malcolm (D.X.) McLeod and Mary Catherine (Girlie) (Finlayson) McLeod. He was born 1891 in Whangerei, NewZealand. He was educated at the Purua Public School and Whangarei High School also at Brighton Grammar School, Brighton, Victoria, Australia. He embarked with the Auckland Mounted Rifles from Auckland NZ on 16 Oct 1914 on HMNZT 8 Star of India or HMNZT 12 Waimana, bound for Suez, Egypt. He was 5’8 tall, weighed 152 lbs, with fresh complexion, blue eyes and blackhair. He was wounded early in the campaign at Gallipoli, but back at the front by mid-July. Trooper McLeod was reported missing, believed killed in action on 8 Aug 1915, aged 24 years at Gallipoli, Turkey. He is commemorated on the Chunuk Bair, (New Zealand) Memorial, Chunuk Bair, Cemetery, Gallipoli, Turkey (Panel 2); on the Roll of Honour at Brighton Grammar School, Brighton, Victoria, Australia; on the Memorial Plaque to Bayside’s Fallen, Green Point, Brighton Beach, Victoria, Australia; Family Memorial Stone at Kaurihohore Cemetery, NZ. From Auckland Weekly News, 9 Sep 1915: “Private letters from Gallipoli confirm the fears that have been entertained that trooper ‘Axie’ McLeod –who has been posted as missing since August 8 – had been killed in action on that date. Trooper Kenneth Stevens in writing to his mother, Mrs Charles Stevens of Maungatapere, describes how Trooper McLeod was killed while throwing back Turkish bombs during terrible fighting in which our troops were engaged on that memorable occasion. “Axie” McLeod was well- known in this district having been born at Purua twenty-three years ago. He was educated at the Purua Public School, and Whangarei High School. He was a prominent footballer and was perhaps the most capable and most fearless horseman in thecountry.

155 ANZAC Gallipoli Commemorative-Memorial Garden- Project

VISION

To enhance the Hampton RSL Sub-branch grounds with an Anzac Gallipoli Commemorative Memorial, by installing plaques of names of Diggers who fell at Gallipoli. The plaques will be of the 92 Diggers from Bayside who were buried at various cemeteries at Gallipoli or mentioned on memorials, bookended by quotes from Sir John Monash and Ataturk. The plaques will be located at intervals in a continuum and create a valuable historical community asset.

All the Diggers‟ detailed family, service and related information are provided in previous pages, based on “The Fallen Diggers from Bayside, Victoria” book published in 2015 by Sandringham and District Historical Society.

JUSTIFICATION

The Commemorative Memorial Garden of Fallen Diggers of Bayside concept provides a place of reflection of ANZAC history as it relates to the local community and enhance Hampton RSL Sub-branch grounds. It enriches the understanding of the community of the supreme sacrifice of local residents more than 100 years ago and provides an opportunity to honour and to remember their memory. It also offers a location for schools to come and learn about the ANZAC story.

PROPONENTS

This was a joint project of Hampton Returned Services League Sub-Branch [www.hamptonrsl.com.au] and Friends of Gallipoli Inc. (FOGI) [www.friendsofgallipoli.org]; two organisations with strong interest in the Gallipoli campaign.

One of the main objectives of the RSL is:

“To ensure the preservation of the memory and the records of those who suffered and died for the nation; to ensure the erection of memorials to their valour and that they have suitable burial places; to establish and preserve in their honour, ANZAC Day, Remembrance Day and other Commemorative occasions.”

Friends of Gallipoli Inc.‟s main objective is:

To enhance and deepen the ties between the Australians and the Turks, based on the common heritage of the tragic Gallipoli campaign which became the basis for peace and friendship at present times.

156

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

As seen in the following pictures of Hampton RSL grounds, the Memorial Garden outlined in the concept drawing provides a significant potential for a community project, based on the theme of „ANZAC Commemoration‟.

The memorial concept outlined provides a simple, streamlined outlook, fitting to the location. It also complements the sacred Cenotaph precinct of the Sub-Branch and remains in sympathy with it.

The scale of the Memorial is such that the information would be easily accessible to any person who is nearby. The names of diggers will be etched on several plaques affixed on 50-80 cm high rocks and their full story is available on-line based on the book entitled “The Fallen Diggers from Bayside, Victoria”.

On a raised platform of about 70 cm. from the ground, there will be a bronze relief map of Gallipoli sculpted by Dr internationally recognised battlefield sculptor Dr Ross Bastiaan AM RFD.

WHAT IS PROPOSED

The location shown in Pictures 3 and 4 is the setting for the project. The land area is 6.6 m x 3.5 m. which is next to Hardie St. Hampton. There are ten plaques which are affixed on rocks on a Lilydale topping based platform which people could view as they walk along. Also on location is a bronze relief map of Gallipoli cemeteries provided by Dr Ross Bastiaan AM RFD. There are two bookends to the plaques; first is a diary entry from Sir John Monash, 12 December 1915 and the other is Ataturk‟s famous words from 1934. These are to provide a contemplative platform.

ANZAC GALLIPOLI COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUES

The following information about the Fallen Diggers and the relevant cemeteries is outlined in the ten plaques that are affixed on rocks. All the details of the ten plaques with 92 Diggers‟ names are provided later.

PROJECT BOOKENDS

The diggers‟ plaques are bookended by two relevant quotes; one at the beginning by Sir John Monash who was the Australian General at Gallipoli and the end plaque is attributed to Ataturk, the Turkish Commander facing Anzacs at Gallipoli and later the inaugural President of the modern-day Republic of Turkey. This provides a concept of reconciliation and peace for the fallen from both sides.

I am almost frightened to contemplate the howl of rage and disappointment there will be when the men find out what is afoot [i.e. evacuation]. I am wondering what Australia will think at the desertion of her 6,000 dead and her 20,000 other casualties. Sir John Monash, 12 December 1915

PLAQUE NO.12

Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives ... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land, they have become our sons as well. M. Kemal Ataturk, April 1934

ATATURK’S FAMOUS WORDS TO THE MOTHERS OF THE FALLEN

Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives; You are now living in the soil of a friendly country, therefore rest in peace.

There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side, here in this country of ours.

You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land, they have become our sons as well.

Mustafa Kemal ATATURK, 1934

160 BRONZE RELIEF MAP OF GALLIPOLI

This map which is a replica of the one located at the Shrine of Remembrance was created by Dr Ross Bastiaan AM RFD.

The plaque shows in detail the Gallipoli Peninsula and Battles Australians were involved in as well as the cemeteries where diggers are located. This particular relief map is also located at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne. The photo shows three diggers in 1991 at the launch ceremony. Below is the new bronze map on location at Hampton

Dr Ross Bastiaan AM RFD is a Melbourne periodentist and sculptor. He has made over 290 large, bronze information plaques around the ATATURK’S world. They commemorate WORDS Australia‟s military history from the Anglo-Boer War to the Gulf War. Many of his works can also be seen on the Western Front, Kokoda and PNG, Borneo, Korea, Thailand and the Middle East. He is best known in Melbourne for information plaques in St Kilda Rd at the Weary Dunlop Memorial and the War Cabinet Rooms plus the Great Ocean Road and the Burke & Wills series through Central Australia. Dr Bastiaan has created the bronze map of Gallipoli which is part of the Anzac Memorial Garden. This topographical, bronze bilingual relief map of the Anzac battlefield on the Gallipoli Peninsula is a recasting of the original plaque located at the east entrance pathway to The Shrine of Remembrance Melbourne near the statue of Simpson and his Donkey.

161 The original 1990 castings were unveiled at The Shrine by three Gallipoli veterans on 20 December 1990 to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the successful evacuation of the Anzac battlefield in Turkey. Concurrently a duplicate plaque was unveiled at Chunuk Bair, Gallipoli beneath the towering statue of Mustafa Kemal and the New Zealand Chunuk Bair Memorial.

There were two sculptors, Ray Ewers did the broad topographical perspective and Ross Bastiaan the detailed valleys and trench lines. The plaque was completed 1990 and in English and Turkish lists the locations where Dr Bastiaan placed a further ten bronze information plaques in 1990. Each plaque is written in four languages and tells the story of the battles in that immediate area at Anzac.

162

THE PLOT PLAN

The ten plaques are located on top of the rocks which depict cemeteries, starting at Anzac Cove and rising to the Lone Pine. The plaques of words of Sir John Monash and Ataturk are located on the wall between Plaques No. 9 and 10. The bronze relief map is located in the middle on a large rock.

163 APPLICATION FOR A VICTORIAN VETERANS GRANT

A grant application was made jointly with Friends of Gallipoli Inc and the Hampton RSL. Thankfully the project was supported by the Victorian Government and the Victorian Veterans Council‟s Victoria Remembers Grant program with a funding grant.

The budgetary responsibility for the project lay with the Hampton RSL and Friends of Gallipoli Inc. volunteered the project management and preparation of the e-book tasks.

The title page of the project application for the grant was as follows:

“I refer to the attached project proposal entitled Anzac Gallipoli Remembrance Project which has been developed jointly with Friends of Gallipoli Inc. It is an exciting concept and we are hoping to make it a reality in the near future.

We believe such a project will enhance the local community‟s understanding of the service and sacrifice of the fallen diggers of Bayside at Gallipoli, our first major conflict during WWI, as well as other areas of conflict. It will also enrich the local community and students‟ understanding of the significance and meaning of Anzac History and remember and honour the fallen Diggers.

We request that you support Hampton RSL in its endeavour to make the ANZAC Remembrance Project a reality by providing a grant. The grant will provide Hampton RSL an opportunity to engage fully with the local community, schools and particularly students by means of an educational Memorial.

We are looking forward to realising this project which will enhance the understanding of Anzac history and remember specifically the 90 fallen Diggers by the local community, schools, students and the veteran community at large. It will also provide the local community to be able say „Lest We Forget‟. Thank you for your anticipated support.

Peter Lanigan

President, Hampton RSL”

164 THE PROJECT PROGRESS

The project progress, after the funding announcement, was a step by step process. It was important to obtain the rocks as a first step as well as finding a contractor.

THE ROCKS

The rocks were supplied by “Rocks and Redgum” [rockandredgum.com.au] located near Dromana and involved a selection process to assure suitability. The rocks are of Granite Harcourt type. A very big rock was selected for the bronze Gallipoli map and the others were selected for plaques of the fallen diggers. The heights of these rocks varied to provide the symbolism of cemeteries beginning from near the Anzac Cove towards the heights at the Lone Pine. There were four plaques for cemeteries at the lower ground; Beach, Cape Helles, Lancashire Landing, No.2 Outpost and Shrapnel Valley and six at the heights; the Lone Pine, Chunuk Bair, Walker‟s Ridge, Shell Green, Baby 700, Lone Pine Memorial, and Quinn‟s Post.

At the “Rocks and Redgum”, Mr Luke Marsh was very helpful in finding the right type of rocks.

174 The Plants

Around the perimeter of the Rocks, a collection of plants are used to provide a sample of what was found at Gallipoli Peninsula and also to fit the theme of Remembrance. These included; Gallipoli Oak, Poppies, Rosemary bushes and Lone Pine

Below please find a section about these plants;

Gallipoli Oak: Small prickly oak trees, known in Australia as Gallipoli Oaks, grow along the ridges and valleys of the Gallipoli peninsula. Because of their intense prickly nature, they were the first major obstacle for Anzacs running up the Gallipoli hills. However after several days of intense bombing, particularly by the Royal Navy, not many of these oaks were left standing near the battle zone. Elsewhere on the Gallipoli Peninsula, acorns were collected by several soldiers during the campaign and sent or brought back to Australia where some were subsequently planted. This particular Gallipoli Oak was provided by Peter Whitelaw who was the Director of the Gallipoli Oak Project which was a centenary of Anzac project.

Poppies;

Each year at dawn on Anzac Day when the Anzac soldiers landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula, thousands gather in Australia, New Zealand and Gallipoli to honour the lives of those who served in all wars. Poppies which have blood-red flowers are native to Gallipoli and Europe and bloom in spring. It is worn on Anzac and Remembrance Days to remind us the sacrifice made by soldiers at Gallipoli and later conflicts.

Rosemary

Salvia rosmarinus, commonly known as rosemary, is a shrub with fragrant, evergreen, needle-like leaves and white, pink, purple, or blue flowers, native to the Mediterranean region. Rosemary has particular significance for Australians, as it is found growing wild on the Gallipoli peninsula. Traditionally, sprigs of rosemary are worn on Anzac Day on April 25, the date Australian troops landed at Gallipoli in 1915.

Lone Pine

At the Gallipoli Peninsula there were many pine trees, however most were cut down or burned during the war. The seeds of a single pine named Lone Pine, were brought to Australia and grown in many places. The two large Lone Pine trees on location were gifted to the Hampton RSL by Mr Lance Hill [AIF No. 39201] who brought them back from Gallipoli.

177 GALLIPOLI MEMORIAL GARDEN UNVEILING HAMPTON RSL TALK BY DR JOHN BASARIN OAM ON FRIDAY 16 APRIL 2021 AT 11 A.M.

Thank you Peter. Mr Ralph Butcher, the 102 y.o. veteran of WW2 and the other Service Men & Women here; Ms Nina Taylor MP, representing the Minister for Veterans; the Turkish Consul-General Mr Eser Torun, Mr James Newbury Member for Brighton, Cr Laurie Evans Mayor of Bayside City Council; Dr Rob Webster, President of the Victorian RSL, LCDR Helen Ward, President of the Hampton RSL, Dr Ross Bastiaan, Good Construction staff, Lorraine Huddle, distinguished guests, ladies & gentlemen.

Today we have gathered here to unveil the ANZAC Gallipoli Memorial Garden Project which has been jointly developed by Hampton RSL and the Friends of Gallipoli Inc. to remember the 92 fallen Diggers from Bayside; suburbs around here.

I was fortunate enough to be part of a project which researched the names of the diggers who fell at Gallipoli as a Centenary of Anzac project in 2015, jointly with the Sandringham and District Historical Society. This is the resultant book. At the time, I was surprised by the large number of Anzacs who fell at Gallipoli.

Last year, I came across a diary entry by Sir John Monash from 12 December 1915 when he found out that the Anzacs were to evacuate Gallipoli soon, and he wrote “ I am almost frightened to contemplate the howl of rage and disappointment there will be when the men find out what is afoot I am wondering what Australia will think at the desertion of her 6,000 dead and her 20,000 other casualties.”

I was also quite familiar with Ataturk‟s famous words from 1934 which

178 comforted the mothers of the fallen Anzacs and seemed to be almost a perfect response to Sir John Monash. One morning last year, as I was walking along the Brighton Beach, all of these threads came together in a flash as a project. So I mentioned what I had in mind to President Peter Lanigan, who very much supported the idea. And after a little bit of help from Jolyon and his merry men, here we are!

The concept is simple; the names of all 92 Diggers are etched on steel plaques affixed atop ten rocks, representing the cemeteries at Gallipoli where they are buried or memorialised. The rocks are in a V shape continuum representing the elevation of cemeteries that rise from the shores of Anzac Cove up to the high peak at Lone Pine and beyond. There is a map from Dr Bastiaan in the middle, to give us a sense of the amazing geography at Gallipoli. On the wall of the RSL Clubhouse are the two bookend quotes from Sir John Monash and Ataturk, providing a message of peace and friendship and respect for the fallen from both sides. These statements provide an opportunity to discover concepts such as conflict resolution, reconciliation, peace and friendship. It is said that only Australians and Turks became good friends as a result of a war. This Gallipoli Memorial Garden is an excellent example of this thinking. Let me finish by reading the words of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk;

184 The Plaques

The names of 92 diggers who fell at Gallipoli and the cemeteries or memorials they are located at are inscribed on ten plaques. The plaques are made of brushed stainless steel and the names are laser engraved on them. They were provided by Signs and Engraving P. L. [signsplus.com.au ] from Swanhill, Northern Victoria. Mr Michael Osterlaak has been most helpful throughout the project for a very professional outcome.

The plaques are then mounted on to the rocks set in the ground in a hierarchal manner from Anzac Cove to Lone Pine, the shortest rocks representing cemeteries closer to the beach and taller ones representing the high ground on the second ridge at Gallipoli. The plaques numbered from one to ten are shown below.

The rocks lead to the Hampton RSL Clubhouse and between the two large windows; there are two more plaques; one from Sir John Monash and the other from Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. These plaques symbolise the reconciliation of two peoples who fought each other in a tragic campaign more than one hundred years ago but made peace and became friends. Such a friendship which blossomed out of a terrible war is rare and can be shown as a symbol of peace universally.

The big rock in the middle with a bronze map of Gallipoli is created by Dr Ross Bastiaan AM RFD. Detailed explanation about the map was tabled earlier.

Following are the plaques shown as they are on the rocks.
