  • Commemorating the Overseas-Born Victoria Cross Heroes a First World War Centenary Event
    Commemorating the overseas-born Victoria Cross heroes A First World War Centenary event National Memorial Arboretum 5 March 2015 Foreword Foreword The Prime Minister, David Cameron The First World War saw unprecedented sacrifice that changed – and claimed – the lives of millions of people. Even during the darkest of days, Britain was not alone. Our soldiers stood shoulder-to-shoulder with allies from around the Commonwealth and beyond. Today’s event marks the extraordinary sacrifices made by 145 soldiers from around the globe who received the Victoria Cross in recognition of their remarkable valour and devotion to duty fighting with the British forces. These soldiers came from every corner of the globe and all walks of life but were bound together by their courage and determination. The laying of these memorial stones at the National Memorial Arboretum will create a lasting, peaceful and moving monument to these men, who were united in their valiant fight for liberty and civilization. Their sacrifice shall never be forgotten. Foreword Foreword Communities Secretary, Eric Pickles The Centenary of the First World War allows us an opportunity to reflect on and remember a generation which sacrificed so much. Men and boys went off to war for Britain and in every town and village across our country cenotaphs are testimony to the heavy price that so many paid for the freedoms we enjoy today. And Britain did not stand alone, millions came forward to be counted and volunteered from countries around the globe, some of which now make up the Commonwealth. These men fought for a country and a society which spanned continents and places that in many ways could not have been more different.

    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1-1 The Defence Honours and Awards Appeals Tribunal (the Tribunal) is established under the provisions in Schedule 1 of the Defence Legislation Amendment Act 2010 [No. 1] (Cwlth), which came into effect on 5 January 2011. Before that date, many of the functions of the Tribunal were undertaken by the Defence Honours and Awards Tribunal (the old tribunal), which operated administratively from July 2008. The Defence Legislation Amendment Act contains the provisions for the establishment of the new Defence Honours and Awards Appeals Tribunal (the new Tribunal, or the Tribunal), as well as specifying its membership, powers and functions. The Tribunal’s functions are set out in s. 110UA of the Defence Act 1903 (Cwlth). The Minister may direct the Tribunal to hold an inquiry into a specified matter concerning Defence honours or awards. The Tribunal must then hold an inquiry and report, with recommendations, to the Minister. 1-2 On 21 February 2011 the Parliamentary Secretary for Defence, Senator The Hon. David Feeney, referred the matter of Unresolved Recognition for Past Acts of Naval and Military Gallantry and Valour to the Tribunal.

How much easier it is to attack, than to stand and await an enemy’s attack!”2 Field Marshal Douglas Haig’s letter to Lady Haig, 10:30am, 8 August 1918 “August 8th was the black day of the German Army in the history of this war.”3 Quartermaster General Erich Ludendorff, My War Memories, 1914-1918, 1919 At 4:20am on 8 August 1918, three Corps’ worth of British, Australian and Canadian infantry, supported by a Cavalry Division, 2,070 guns4, 432 tanks and 800 aircraft launched an attack that would punch an 11 kilometre salient in the German lines by nightfall. The Battle of Amiens was the British Expeditionary Force’s (BEF) greatest victory of the war, and was the largest single battle the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) had ever fought. The British III Corps assaulted on the Australians’ left flank (on the northern bank of the Somme), the Canadian Corps on their right (south of the Amiens-Chaulnes Railway) and the French First Army further south.

  • Our Soldiers Volunteers There Were 57,700 Queensland& Service Men and Women Who Enlisted in the First World War
    Mapping our Anzac History Our Soldiers Volunteers There were 57,700 Queensland& service men and women who enlisted in the First World War. At the start of the war, Mareeba’s population was only 1,200 yet over 460 volunteers from our district volunteered for service—most of our young male population. Across the Atherton Tablelands, a total of around 1,000 men and women volunteered to serve Australia. Our volunteers travelled by horse, on foot and by train to enlist in Cairns Townsville. Joining the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) gave them an opportunity to travel abroad and serve their country. There was also the promise of adventure—or so they thought—however reality proved very different. Sadly over one hundred of our soldiers never returned. Some died in action or from wounds, and many from illness. Influenza, tuberculosis, and pneumonia were prevalent among the men who were forced to endure horrific conditions whilst fighting. In Mareeba, we recognise the important contribution and sacrifices that our local volunteers made during the First World War. The Mareeba Shire Council named the following streets in honour of our First World War soldiers who lost their lives: Barrett Street (George Ernest Barrett) Bourke Street (William Bourke) Bowers Street (John Charles Bowers) Brodziak Close (Edward Remilton Brodziak) Colquhoun Street (Harold Robert Colquhoun) Donlen Street (Owen Donlen Jnr) Gibbins Lane (Robert Henry Gibbins) Leswell Street (Jack Leswell) McDowall Street (Thomas Leslie McDowall) Maher Street (Charles Leo Maher) Owens Street (John Joseph Owens) Slade Street (Henry Arthur Slade) Toll Close (Frederick Vivian Toll) Totten Street (Robert Joseph Totten) Wallace Drive (James Angus Wallace) Anzac Avenue in Mareeba was named in 1953 in memory of all soldiers who served in both World Wars.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Thursday, 8 November 2018] p8078b-8093a Dr Mike Nahan; Mr Shane Love; Mr Roger Cook; Mr Ian Blayney; Mrs Robyn Clarke; Mr Terry Redman; Mr David Michael; Mr Sean L'Estrange; Ms Emily Hamilton; Mr Tony Krsticevic; Mr Reece Whitby; Mr Peter Katsambanis; Ms Margaret Quirk; Mr John McGrath; Mr John Carey; Mr Kyran O'Donnell; Ms Janine Freeman; Dr David Honey Statement by Leader of the Opposition DR M.D. NAHAN (Riverton — Leader of the Opposition) [11.16 am]: I support the Premier in his remarks. With Sunday being Remembrance Day it is appropriate that time to be set aside in Parliament to acknowledge the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. We celebrate our democracy and our freedoms thanks to the sacrifices of those who served our country and that is why it is appropriate that today we acknowledge their sacrifice in our institution of democracy. Every year since 1919 at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we have stopped to observe one minute of silence to remember those who served our country, and those who died defending our nation and freedoms that are so often taken for granted. One hundred years on from the ending of World War I, Australians, young and old, continue to mark this occasion and reflect on the sacrifices made. Over time many traditions enjoy less support in recognition. I am pleased that the same cannot be said of our acknowledgement, commemoration and appreciation of our service men and women who served our country in conflicts over the years.
