Cover Design: Lorraine Huddle, Photo credit: John Amiet 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 After eight months of heavy fighting, the ANZAC troops were withdrawn on 20 December 1915. 2 FOREWORD – Chairman, Friends of Gallipoli Inc. The Gallipoli campaign was a tragic event; in 1915 a million men fought each other on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! Dr John V Basarin OAM Email: [email protected] 3 FOREWORD – President, Hampton RSL Sub-Branch 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. Peter Lanigan 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] Lorraine Huddle 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD – Chairman, Friends of Gallipoli Inc. ............................................................................................. 3 FOREWORD – President, Hampton RSL Sub-Branch ......................................................................................... 5 INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................................................................ 7 TABLE OF CONTENTS ........................................................................................................................................ 9 LIST OF THE FALLEN ........................................................................................................................................ 11 EPITAPHS OFGALLIPOLI ................................................................................................................................ 146 OTHER COUNTRIES FORCES.......................................................................................................................... 148 INDEX of DIGGERS ........................................................................................................................................ 149 INDEX by CEMETERY .................................................................................................................................... 150 INDEX by RESIDENCE/LOCATION .................................................................................................................. 151 INDEX of RELATIONS .................................................................................................................................... 153 ADDENDUM: ANZAC GALLIPOLI COMMEMORATIVE PROJECT DETAILS ………………………………………………….. 155 Map of Gallipoli beaches 6 LIST OF THE FALLEN Private Henry Stanley ANGELL Henry (Harry) Stanley Angell was the sixth of twelve children (fourth son) of William Angell and Barbara Ellen Angell

  • “Come on Lads”
    “COME ON LADS” ON “COME “COME ON LADS” Old Wesley Collegians and the Gallipoli Campaign Philip J Powell Philip J Powell FOREWORD Congratulations, Philip Powell, for producing this short history. It brings to life the experiences of many Old Boys who died at Gallipoli and some who survived, only to be fatally wounded in the trenches or no-man’s land of the western front. Wesley annually honoured these names, even after the Second World War was over. The silence in Adamson Hall as name after name was read aloud, almost like a slow drum beat, is still in the mind, some seventy or more years later. The messages written by these young men, or about them, are evocative. Even the more humdrum and everyday letters capture, above the noise and tension, the courage. It is as if the soldiers, though dead, are alive. Geoffrey Blainey AC (OW1947) Front cover image: Anzac Cove - 1915 Australian War Memorial P10505.001 First published March 2015.

Men resting on the beach road from Cape Helles to Gully Ravine, under the shelter of the cliffs. © Imperial War Museums (Q13342) 2 1 His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales 2 3 The First World War was a conflict the like of which had never been seen before. It touched all corners of the globe and resulted in many millions of deaths. Countless more were scarred by injury and bereavement. The war also gave rise to a number of developments which continue to shape our world today. The rapid advance in medicine, industrialisation and the emancipation of women. In the UK it gave rise to the Royal British Legion, and established the poppy as our national symbol of remembrance. Some of the most moving and poignant poetry, literature, art and music was created as a response to it. For all these reasons, I believe that the centenary of the First World War presents a unique opportunity to remind ourselves of the scale of the sacrifice, the effect on those left at home and the huge impact the war had around the world. That is why the British Government is commemorating a number of important events throughout the centenary period.
