  • 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.

  • Historical Officers Report March 2019 Taken from Wikipedia in the Early
    Historical Officers Report March 2019 Taken from Wikipedia In the early 1920s North Beach rang again to the sound of work parties. Monumental stone from a Turkish quarry was off-loaded at a pier under the lee of the wreck of the Milo. From there it was lifted by aerial ropeway up past the Sphinx to the heights near Baby 700 and south down the ridge to the site of the great Australian monument on Gallipoli–Lone Pine. From North Beach stone also went out to build the cemeteries of Anzac, from Hill 60 in the north to Shell Green Cemetery in the south, 21 cemeteries and three memorials in all. The work was overseen by the Imperial (later Commonwealth) War Graves Commission’s Director of Works on Gallipoli, Lieutenant-Colonel Cyril Hughes, a Tasmanian who had served on Gallipoli. Before Hughes commenced this work of remembrance, he was visited between 15 February and 10 March 1919 by the Australian Historical Mission led by Charles Bean. The mission had come to solve, if it could, some of what Bean called ‘the riddles of Anzac’. It came also to collect material for Bean’s proposed war museum in Australia, a museum that was eventually to develop into the Australian War Memorial. George Lambert, the painter, accompanied the mission and Bean set him to the task of making sketches for what would become two of Australia’s best known war paintings–Anzac, the landing 1915 and The Charge of the 3rd Light Horse Brigade at the Nek, August 1915.

  • April 25Th, 2012
    Walpole Weekly April 25th, 2012 Community News of Walpole, Nornalup, Peaceful Bay & Bow Bridge Proudly published in Litter Free Walpole Let us remember them ... Today is the anniversary of the Gallipoli landings, the day when we honour our fallen from all of the conflicts our nation has been involved in. We live in a country free to choose for ourselves what, when and where. A Nation where our rights as individuals are as important and as recognized as those of any organization be it private or government. We stand together as a nation proud of the sacrifices made by our forefathers and today ANZAC services held around the world acknowledge them. At 2.30 am on 25 April 1915, as the men of the Anzac Corps approached the west coast of Gallipoli in the ships of the invasion fleet, the Australian submarine AE2 entered the Dardanelles to disrupt Turkish sea communication. This is just one example of the heroism that happened that is not always acknowledged in the media. Many men died defending our way of life; for those who made it home to Australian soil (and New Zealand turf) their lives were never to be the same. Bearing the scars of war both physically and emotionally many never recovered from the horror and hardships they faced. Mates fought beside each other, brothers in arms heros to the generations that followed and yet many of these brave men themselves believe they just did their duty for their country. Victoria Crosses were hard earned. They stand out as official recognition of an act, or in some cases a series of acts, of outstanding courage.

    MAJOR F.H. TUBB V.C. ~ 7TH BATTALION, A.I.F. Lying among the 9,901 casualties of the First World War in Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery is one recipient of the Victoria Cross - Major Frederick Harold Tubb. One of ten children, he was born on the 28th November, 1881 at "St Helena" Longwood, Victoria, Australia. His parents Harry and Emma, both English born were teachers at the Longwood State School. Harry became headmaster and with his wife later bought 300 acres of farm land for grazing. He had a passionate interest in Napoleon Bonaparte and named his property 'St Helena' - the island where the former Emperor of France had been exiled after the Battle of Waterloo. Frederick was educated at Longwood School and although of small stature he was a very good at sport, in particular football and proficient in rifle shooting. On leaving school with an educational certificate he became manager of his father's farm and later of his own land. Interested in all things military from an early age, he joined the Victorian Mounted Rifles in June 1900. After serving with them for two years he joined the Australian Light Horse which after organisational changes to their military forces by the Australian Government had incorporated the Victorian Mounted Rifles. He joined as a private, became a sergeant in 1911 and then transferred to the 60th Battalion of Infantry. In 1912 he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant and a year later transferred to the 58th Battalion of Infantry (Essendon Rifles). After the outbreak of the First World War he attested for overseas service with the Australian Imperial Force on the 12th August, 1914.
