  • 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.

  • Captain Clarence Smith Jeffries VC 34Th Australian Infantry Battalion, AIF
    Captain Clarence Smith Jeffries VC 34th Australian Infantry Battalion, AIF VICTORIA CROSS 12th October 1917, at Passchendaele, Belgium (Posthumous Award) CITATION: For most conspicuous bravery in attack when his company was held up by enemy machine- gun fire from concrete emplacements. Organising a party, he rushed one emplacement, capturing four machine-guns and thirty-five prisoners. He then led his company forward under extremely heavy enemy artillery barrage and enfilade machine-gun fire to the objective. Later, he again organised a successful attack on a machine-gun emplacement, capturing two machine-guns and thirty more prisoners. This gallant officer was killed during the attack, but it was entirely due to his bravery and initiative that the centre of the attack was not held up for a lengthy period. His example had a most inspiring influence. (London Gazette: 18th December, 1917) Captain Clarence Smith Jeffries VC, 34th Australian Infantry Battalion, AIF “If the Coal Mine Surveyors of the Hunter Valley need a role model or a patron saint then they should look no further than Clarence Smith Jeffries”, so said David Dial, Military Historian, when addressing the second Gretley Information and Retraining Seminar at Newcastle on 26th November, 1998. David Dial presented a paper to the seminar titled “Historical Research and Methodology”. Although David’s forte is military history of the First World War, he was certainly very able to inform and entertain the delegates in a very entertaining manner, on what could easily be perceived as a very dry subject. David very kindly researched his database and came up with the information presented here and in the following citation.

  • Politicians at War: the Experiences of Australian Parliamentarians in the First World
    Politicians at War: The Experiences Aaron Pegram of Australian Parliamentarians in ∗ the First World War Sometime around noon on 25 April 1915, a 35-year-old sergeant of the Australian 1st Battalion lay mortally wounded in thick scrub above the beach that would later be known as Anzac Cove. Having come ashore with the second wave attack earlier that morning, men of the 1st Battalion were rushed inland to a position on Pine Ridge to help reinforce the tenuous foothold troops of the 3rd Brigade were holding in the face of growing Turkish resistance. Stretcher-bearers came to carry the wounded man back down the gully, but he refused. ‘There’s plenty worse than me out there’, he said, in what was the last time he was seen alive.1 Sergeant Edward (Ted) Larkin was among 8,100 Australian and New Zealand troops killed and wounded at Anzac within the first week of fighting.2 His body was recovered during the informal truce with Turkish troops in the following weeks, but the whereabouts of his final burial place remains unknown. As such, he is commemorated on the Lone Pine Memorial, alongside 4,934 Australian and New Zealander soldiers killed on Gallipoli who have no known grave. As a soldier, Larkin appears no different from the 330,000 men who served in the Australian Imperial Force during the First World War, but as a civilian, he was among a number of state and federal politicians who saw active service with the AIF during the First World War. According to figures compiled by the Commonwealth Parliamentary Library, 119 Australian MPs saw active service in the First World War: 72 were members of the House of Representatives, 44 were senators and three served in both chambers.

  • Rare Military History Unveiled
    Rare military history unveiled Never-seen-before military relics dating back to the Great War and beyond highlighting NSW’s military history are being unveiled as the Anzac Memorial reopens its doors. These include a rare collection of historic swords, pistols, medals and other artefacts belonging to Australia’s first general, Sir Maurice O’Connell from the early 1800s. The Memorial’s new exhibition area also features the hauntingly poignant medals and memorabilia kept by the family of 15-year-old Lance Corporal Jack Harris of Waverley in Sydney who was killed in action at the Battle of Lone Pine. Harris is probably the youngest Australian soldier killed in action during the Great War. A souvenir of the Red Baron in the form of a piece of fabric cut from the wreck of the Baron’s plane by 26-year-old Second Lieutenant Nigel Love of Kurrajong, NSW, a fighter pilot with No3 Squadron Australian Flying Corps on the Western Front in 1918 is also a must see. Also on display is the Distinguished Service Cross awarded to Sub-Lieutenant Bruce Harvey for sinking the only Japanese fleet submarine destroyed in Australian waters. Overall, the Memorial holds a significant historical collection of approximately 6000 objects which includes the heritage building and its sculptures as well as objects such as medals and uniforms, photographs, books and manuscripts. The Memorial’s new exhibition space allows it to illustrate the evolution of Australian military service, while focusing on stories of NSW service. The design and content for the permanent exhibition has been inspired by the Memorial’s 20 iconic military figures gracing its exterior.

    1015 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Wednesday 25 May 2011 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. AUDITOR-GENERAL'S REPORT The Clerk announced the receipt, pursuant to section 63C of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983, of the Auditor-General's Report for 2011, Volume Two. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Inaugural Speeches Mr BRAD HAZZARD (Wakehurst—Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, and Minister Assisting the Premier on Infrastructure NSW) [10.04 a.m.]: I move: That the business before the House be interrupted: (1) at 11.30 a.m. to permit the presentation of inaugural speeches by the members for Bathurst, Bankstown, and Shellharbour; and (2) at 6.00 p.m. to permit the presentation of inaugural speeches by the members for Newcastle, Swansea, Riverstone and Charlestown. The commencement of each parliamentary term brings with it the delivery of inaugural speeches by new members. That in turn necessitates a slight change to the routine of business of the House. I have discussed the following proposal with the Opposition. Today at 11.30 a.m. inaugural speeches will be presented by the member for Bathurst, the member for Bankstown and the member for Shellharbour and, later in the day, at 6.00 p.m., the business of the House will be interrupted to permit the presentation of inaugural speeches by the member for Newcastle, the member for Swansea, the member for Riverstone and the member for Charlestown. Question—That the motion be agreed to—put and resolved in the affirmative.

  • SVSS 2011 Fox Paper
    “The word „retire‟ is never to be used” The performance of the 9th Brigade, AIF, at First Passchendaele, 1917 Aimée Fox Abstract The 9th Brigade was a well trained, highly disciplined formation that had garnered success at the battle of Messines in June 1917. Its performance during the First Battle of Passchendaele on 12 October 1917 challenged this reputation, resulting in a Court of Inquiry to examine why it underperformed. First Passchendaele was an operational step too far and represented a departure from the “bite and hold” operations of September–October 1917. The 9th Brigade‟s performance was subject to a number of operational constraints that fell outside its control, specifically poor artillery support, ineffective communications, and faulty logistics. Introduction Passchendaele. The word is synonymous with the futility of war, bungling generalship and endless mud. It is the name widely and misleadingly given to the third battle of Ypres – a “senseless campaign” that “no soldier of any intelligence” could defend.1 The first battle of Passchendaele was fought on 12 October 1917 and constituted one day of the Third Ypres campaign. It was the Australians‟ final engagement in 1917, a year that resulted in one third of total Australian Imperial Force (AIF) deaths in the First World War.2 The 9th Brigade was heavily involved at First Passchendaele. Formed in early 1916, it had been in France less than a year when it attacked on 12 October 1917. Initially commanded by Brigadier-General Alexander Jobson, the 9th Brigade formed part of the 3rd Division which, under the command of Major General John Monash, was one of the most highly trained divisions in the AIF.
