Brigadier-General Cannan, who was visited during :he niorning by his divisional commander, General Motlash, obtained from him the impression that this advance \vas intended rather as a demonstration-to itnpress the Germans with the fact that their progress in that sector was at an end. Cannan accordingly put forward a plan, already prepared, for a patrol action. The 43rd, holding the higher part of the slope above the Soninie, would try to steal, by daylight patrols, the un- occupied portion of the knuckle in its front and possibly part of tlie nest spur, in front of Morlan- court. The ground so occupied would afterwards be consolidated Monash also visited General McNicoll, commanding his northern brigade. the xotli. and arranged for an advance on its front also. Tt was probably after these visits. 1)ut before noon, that Monash received from VI I Corps an important communication. It had been made known that the conference at Doullens had arrived at the decision--welcomed with intense satisfaction throughout the British Army-to give suprenie control over 212 z6th-28th Mar., 19181 MORLANCOURT 213 the Allies’ forces on the Western Front to a single leader- the French general, Foch. Foch had evidently been discussing with General Byng of the Third Army the possibility of that army’s passing to the offensive, and had apparently ascertained that lie was favourable to an attack, when possible, astride of the Sonime.’ Particulars of the message now received by Rlonash are nut recorded, but in a letter written on the 28th to Birdwood, whom he kept fully informed of his doings, he says: I am now considering whether it will be feasible to push forward my line between the rivers in the direction of Morlancourt, as I understand that General Foch is anxious, in view of his future plans, that we should get as far in the direction of Bray as we can. An Australian. who saw both Monash and MacLagan that day, notes in his diary that, south of the Sonime, the Germans have only the remains of the 5th Army (whatever that is) and the 1st Cavalry Division in front of them. Up at the 4th and 3rd Divisions we cannot get a word as to what the real position there is Only they say that General Foch has promised that his army wlll cnncentrate somewhere there within the next few days. He wanLed Konash to take the hill by Morlancourt at once, because from there his detraining point was overlooked. The critical position was ol)viously now south of the Sonime, and the chief anxiety of all ranks at this time was whether the remnant of the Fifth Army would manage to delay the enemy long enough to enable the French divisions to come up before their intended assembly area was overrun. The Germans who crossed the Somme at C6risy 011 the previous evening had seized the main Roman road behind the Fifth Army’s left flank, and were now astride of it at WarfusCe, the next village east of Villers-Bretonneux. \Yhether the left flank of the Fifth Army still existed was unknown. But the 1st Cavalry Division was holding an emergency line south of the Somme in continuation of the 3rd Division’s. The old French defence-line, so far as it had not been filled in and ploughed over by farmers, continued there also, far across country southwards. Since March 26th, it liad been garrisoned at widely scattered points by a small scratch force consisting of tunnellers, instructors troni army schools. and 500 American engineers-some 2,000 in all, -. ‘Cetirral Raullnson on taking commanrl of the Flfth Army ihat afternoon wrcDtr to Foch “I alii In accord with General Byng oil the subject of an offensive along thc tu0 banks of thc bonime. It is not feashle for tbc moment.” 214 THE A.I.F. IN FRANCE [&th Mar., ~gre first organised under General Gough’s instructions by Major-General Grant, chief engineer of the Fifth Army, and now commanded by hlajor-General Carey,* whose headquarters were at the old army headquarters at Villers- Rretonne~ix.~The Fifth Army’s main line was still ahead of this in the south, and the 61st British Division was being brought up to Marcelcave, in this line south-west of WariusBe, in order to retake WarfusCe. But the 61st was a tired division, which had been engaged in the Fifth Army’s operations since March 2rst. To assist it, the 1st Cavalry Division would attack at the same time. As the cavalry would then be operating east of the alignment of Sailly-Laurette, General Congreve first asked the 3rd Aus- tralian Division to suppress the Germans in that village with artillery-fire. Later, at 11.20 a.m., on learning that the 61st Division was to have begun its advance at 11, he ordered the 3rd Division to send strong patrols to Sailly-Laurette. If the village was found unoccupied, they were to seize it, but in any case they were to guard the left of the cavalry. 011 these grounds Monash at noon ordered an advance by the whole line of the 3rd Division. The operation was to be carried out in two leaps, each of 1,000 yards: first, to a line on the forward slone of the cross-ridce which the division was ‘h1aj:Gen. G. G. S. Carey, C.B, CM.G.; R.A.

The first advance was to I)c made by both brigades at 4 p.m., and the second at 7; but, on the right, the second advance would be fully attempted only if Sailly-Laurette had previously been taken ; if not, the right flank would be swung hack north of the village. IVith what strength each brigade should attack, and how its troops should be disposed, appears to have been left by hfonash to the discretion of the brigadiers ; but, possibly through lack of time, or difficulty of communication, or even through general inexperience in the sudden operations of open warfare, that prudent and normal procedure was not accompanied by close consultation between the brigadiers to whom it was committed or by such action from above as would ensure that the detailed plans of the two subordinates dovetailed. The attack thus took on an entirely different character in the two brigade sectors. General McNicoll of the loth Brigade, as his left, at Treux Wood, was already on the first objective, decided to attack in the first stage by throwing a reserve battalion, the @i, through his right battalion. In the second stage, his other reserve battalion, the 3gth, would be thrown through his left, and, together with the 40th, would advance to the second objective. The history of the 4Oth,‘ to the young acting-coniinander of which, Major Payne,6 the brigadier gave verbal orders, says that “it was anticipated that very little resistance would be met with, as the ground . was probably held by the enemy advance guard only. The object of the advance was to seize the high ground west of hlorlancourt before the ma111 body of the enemy came up.” The division’s front was now served by two brigades of field artillery, but both of these were north of the Ancre; one, a weak British brigade, the 18gth, from a firing position a mile north of Ribeniont, directly enfiladed the eiieiny ; the other, the 7th A.F.A. Brigade, had, during the night, collie into position in the valley behind Heilly, and could assist the advance by firing at long range from the rear. Under these circumstances, no elaborate artillery support ‘ Thr Fortieth, by Capt. F. C. Green. p. 116 [.leut.-Col L. H Payne. D.S.O., V.D.: 40th Bn Commission agent; of New Town. Tas : b. Burnic. Tas.. 5 Nov., 1888. 216 THE A.I.F. IN FRANCE [Sth Mar., 1518 was possible. The orders merely stated that the artillery “ would be able to assist if required.” The 40th Battalion had camped in the trees south of the Ancre near Heilly station. At 3.40 it marched by platoons at fifty yards’ interval, diagonally towards the centre of the peninsula, so as to advance with its right resting on the Corliie-Bray road. On reaching the crest, it opened into artillery formation, with two companies in front and two in rear, all advancing in sections in file. At this point there came into view not only the front line close ahead but the open plateau reaching to far beyond Morlancourt. Guns which the troops could actually see on the hill behind Morlancourt began to shell them with accuracy. The officers of the 40th understood that, at this stage, the support battalion (1Ist) of the 11th Brigade would be joining up on their flank, in order to make a similar advance on the southern side of the road; I)ut no sign of it could be seen.

  • Lessons in Leadership the Life of Sir John Monash GCMG, KCB, VD
    Lessons in Leadership The Life of Sir John Monash GCMG, KCB, VD By Rolfe Hartley FIEAust CPEng EngExec FIPENZ Engineers Australia Sydney Division CELM Presentation March 2013 Page 1 Introduction The man that I would like to talk about today was often referred to in his lifetime as ‘the greatest living Australian’. But today he is known to many Australians only as the man on the back of the $100 note. I am going to stick my neck out here and say that John Monash was arguably the greatest ever Australian. Engineer, lawyer, soldier and even pianist of concert standard, Monash was a true leader. As an engineer, he revolutionised construction in Australia by the introduction of reinforced concrete technology. He also revolutionised the generation of electricity. As a soldier, he is considered by many to have been the greatest commander of WWI, whose innovative tactics and careful planning shortened the war and saved thousands of lives. Monash was a complex man; a man from humble beginnings who overcame prejudice and opposition to achieve great things. In many ways, he was an outsider. He had failures, both in battle and in engineering, and he had weaknesses as a human being which almost put paid to his career. I believe that we can learn much about leadership by looking at John Monash and considering both the strengths and weaknesses that contributed to his greatness. Early Days John Monash was born in West Melbourne in 1865, the eldest of three children and only son of Louis and Bertha. His parents were Jews from Krotoshin in Prussia, an area that is in modern day Poland.

    “Expect to like this great as it may be exciting.” The War Diary of Sapper John Popham Fotheringham June 1917 - January 1919 June 2009 Sapper John Popham Fotheringham served as a driver with the 9th Canadian Artillery Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery in France and Belgium from June 1917 to January 1919. His diary, on its own, is not particularly detailed, except in certain small parts. However, when meshed with the War Diary of the Brigade, and the history of the Canadian Army in action in World War 1, it becomes evident that Sapper Fotheringham was involved in some of the biggest battles of the latter stages of the war - Amiens, Cambrai, Arras - only missing Passchendaele as he recovered from exposure to mustard gas in September 1917. John Popham Fotheringham was born in Ottawa on May 19th, 1897 to John Turnbull Fotheringham and Mary Popham Fotheringham. His sister, Laura, was born two years later. His uncle, George Beveridge Fotheringham (father of cousin Lieutenant John Beveridge Fotheringham) served with the Ottawa Field Battery during the Fenian Raid of 1866. J.P. Fotheringham studied Applied Science at McGill University in 1915 to 1916, serving in the cadet corps with CCTC McGill. On August 24th, 1916, at Ottawa, he enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force as a Sapper (Private) with the Canadian Engineers, being posted to the 3rd Canadian Divisional Signal Company. Following training, he left Canada on January 16th, 1917 on the RMS Scandinavian, arriving in England on February 6th. He arrived in Le Havre, France, on May 24th, 1917. He marched from the Divisional Rest Camp and joined the 3rd Canadian Divisional Company on June 9th, 1917.

  • Your Presentation Is the Keynote Presentation for the Block
    1984 RUSI VIC BLAMEY ORATION By Major General Ken G. Cooke, ED There must be something special about a man who on the centenary of his birth and thirty-three years after his death can still trigger a gathering of so many people, including so many busy and distinguished people, in a Melbourne park on a Tuesday morning in January. So let us take a few minutes to review briefly the life of Thomas Alfred Blamey to try and determine just how this can be. He was born on 24th January, 1884 on the outskirts of Wagga Wagga, the seventh of the ten children of Richard and Margaret Blamey. His father had tried his luck at farming, both in Queensland and New South Wales, but as was often the case the ventures ended in disaster due to the old traditional enemies of drought, bush fire and fluctuating cattle prices. He then settled in Wagga where he earned his living as a contract drover. His was a pioneer family so typical of the time and it exemplified the strength of our immigrant stock both before and since. Young Tom was educated in Wagga, first at the Government school and then for the last two years at the Grammar school to which he won a place on his pure ability. His upbringing generally was as you would expect. He had to help around the family property before and after school and on vacations he worked as a tar- boy in the local shearing sheds. As he grew older he went on several droving trips to help his father.

  • Highways Byways
    Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure.
