PART THREE Chapter Five Hope PART THREE Chapter Five Hope For many former members of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) after World War I, life on the land on a small poultry or vegetable block in company with other returned men represented more than just a return to civilian life. It was hope – hope that the horrors of war could be erased, hope that the emerging new world would be more prosperous, and hope that their lives would be re-built through their own enterprise of land ownership. For a considerable number of men on these group settlements it was also their last hope. Expectations of success were, therefore, high in the beginning on these settlements. The previous chapters of this thesis have outlined the settlements’ origins and establishment and some of the issues facing settlers, such as poor quality land, stock or crops. These difficulties made earning a living from small acreages more arduous than the men had been led to believe and they often soon found themselves with little income and a massive debt. In addition to the problems of flooding and inferior land, badly constructed homes, poor communication systems, and isolation for themselves and their families, most of the men had war-related disabilities to contend with. In spite of all these challenges, these soldier settlers attempted to re-adapt to civilian life and to build a sustainable community as part of a group soldier settlement. To support the argument of this thesis that most soldier settlers on the six group settlements in this study returned from World War I service physically and mentally 180 scarred, leaving them with long-term or permanent disabilities, a number of primary sources have been used to build a picture of how they struggled to make a living after the war. National Archives service records of all servicemen and women who served in the AIF in World War I are now digitised, giving researchers ready access to many facets of a serviceman’s time in the military, and have provided valuable information about injuries, recovery periods and the experiences of service personnel. 1 Combined with information contained in archival records of the Returned Soldiers’ Settlement Branch (RSSB) of the New South Wales Department of Lands and personal case files from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, for the first time a comprehensive picture of why so many men were unsuccessful as soldier settlers can be made. 2 Although previous studies of soldier settlement have acknowledged that a returned man’s health often impacted on his success, thereby providing further evidence for the central argument of this thesis, the focus of Chapters Five and Six, ‘Hope’ and ‘Despair’, is to prove that these men were largely unsuccessful because of their war-related disabilities. 3 1 National Archives of Australia: Australian Imperial Force, Base Records Office; B2455 , First Australian Imperial Force Personnel Dossiers 1914-1920. 2 New South Wales State Records: Department of Lands, Returned Soldier Settlement Loan Files , NRS 8058; NAA: Department of Veterans’ Affairs, Branch Office, New South Wales; C138, Personal case files, single number series (Australian, 1914-1918 War) 3 See, for example, M.

Frost, ‘Soldier Settlement after World War I in South-Western Victoria’, PhD Thesis, Deakin University, 2002, p. 107; L.J. Pryor, ‘The Origins of Australia’s Repatriation Policy’, M.A. Thesis, University of Melbourne, 1932, p. 226 noted that for many returned men who became soldier settlers ‘their experiences, their temperamental and physical disabilities often rendered them quite unsuitable’. 181 This chapter argues that in spite of their war-related injuries, the majority of group soldier settlers in the County of Cumberland worked hard to make a success of their civilian life as farmers. They saw soldier settlement as their opportunity to own their own land, to be their own boss, and were determined to make it work. This chapter will clearly show that soldier settlers on these group settlements initiated, and were participants in, many community activities and events aimed at contributing to the success of group settlements in the greater Sydney region. These men wanted to succeed and, at the outset, believed they could. This chapter focuses on government assistance through training, forming co-operatives to help settlers minimise costs and maximise profits, then moves to examine a range of community and associated institutions such as progress associations, poultry clubs, lobby groups and support groups, in addition to providing an insight into the essential role women had assisting their husbands work their block. Bankstown Soldier Settlers Source: State Library of New South Wales PXB 397 182 The New South Wales government also expected that this type of soldier settlement would develop its own strong community, believing inexperienced returned men would readily be prepared to help one another. 4 A range of government propaganda publications prepared for the returning forces were engineered to influence returned men’s decisions for their life after demobilisation. The men believed they would be well looked-after in civilian life. For example, Repatriation , the Commonwealth government’s magazine, reported enthusiastically on the success of Bankstown Soldier Settlement. 5 These reports encouraged returned men to apply for soldier settlement, giving them hope they could achieve a secure future in civilian life. For many ex-servicemen, these positive reports in a journal dedicated to assisting returned men reassimilate into the community, assured them that they would be successful soldier settlers. It was logical to believe that if returned men at Bankstown Soldier Settlement were doing well a short time after its establishment, other poultry settlements would have similar results. No effort has been spared to give the men a good start, and as the majority of the settlers are showing aptitude and industry, the Department looks forward to seeing the men firmly established, and not only making a comfortable living but adding to the primary production, and, therefore, to the welfare and prosperity of the State. 6 4 NAA : Repatriation Department; A2487 , Correspondence files, annual single number series, 1918- 1929 , 1919/5467, Land Settlement – Details of State Governments Measures and Schemes. In this undated document from the New South Wales government, the benefits of group settlements included, ‘The principle of Group Settlements and the consequent creation of community interests and ambitions is particularly applicable to settlers who have not had any, or only partial previous experience in farming and who are not provided with capital other than the financial assistance offered by the Government’. 5 Repatriation, 25 August 1919, p. 13. 6 ibid. 183 Furthermore, returned men were informed poultry from Bankstown was of premium quality and ‘the excellent prices realised for the returned men’s birds should encourage them in their venture, which should be a profitable undertaking’. 7 As Bankstown was the first group soldier settlement in the greater Sydney region, as discussed in the previous chapter, it received considerable publicity and was used by the government as a demonstration farm to highlight the good work and advantages of this type of soldier settlement in New South Wales. Bankstown Soldier Settlement also attracted high profile visitors, boosting morale amongst the settlers. General Sir William Birdwood and Lady Birdwood, accompanied by the Governor and other dignitaries visited Bankstown Soldier Settlement in April 1920. 8 Prime Minister Billy Hughes, ‘the little digger’, also visited the settlement. During the Prince of Wales’ visit to Sydney in May and June 1920, ex-servicemen from Bankstown Soldier Settlement were proudly chosen to provide poultry to Government House. 9 Settlers were convinced of both community interest and support to help them become successful in their new careers. It confirmed to them that Australians recognised the sacrifices they had made, and that Australian society would help them be part of a land fit for heroes as promised. Many soldier settlers on the settlements in this study came to their block of land and lived there with their wife and family, often for more than a year, before a home was 7 ibid. 8 The Sydney Morning Herald , 10 April 1920, p. 13; SMH , 12 April 1920, p. 1; L.

Beckett, ibid . 184 built. 10 It is a measure of the hope these returned men had, that in spite of their physical and psychological conditions as a result of the war, they were willing to endure living under canvas in temporary housing to realise a better life for themselves and their families. Conditions were tough, living in uncleared scrub, enduring summer and winter weather extremes. As a newspaper later noted, ‘a man who will live in a tent, or take his wife and family into the corner of a brooder and live there with 500 chickens to keep him company until he was flooded out the while he waited for a home to be built, must be given credit for an attempt to make good’. 11 Bankstown Soldier Settlement – temporary home.

  • Legislative Assembly
    15837 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Wednesday 17 October 2012 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Notices of Motions General Business Notices of Motions (General Notices) given. SWIMMING POOLS AMENDMENT BILL 2012 Bill introduced on motion by Mr Donald Page, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Mr DONALD PAGE (Ballina—Minister for Local Government, and Minister for the North Coast) [10.08 a.m.]: I move: That this bill be now read a second time. The Government is pleased to introduce the Swimming Pools Amendment Bill 2012. As we head into the warmer months, families will use their backyard swimming pools increasingly. Swimming pools are an important part of family life as they bring families together and provide everyone with endless hours of healthy fun. But it is a sad fact that each year a number of children continue to drown in backyard swimming pools. Each year, approximately 60 young children are admitted to hospital following a near drowning. Each drowning or injury in a backyard pool is a tragedy for the families and for the local communities. The greater tragedy is that effective and well-maintained swimming pool fences, combined with vigilant adult supervision, could have prevented most, if not all, of these drownings. This has led to increasing calls by pool safety advocates for a further strengthening of the Swimming Pools Act 1992. The case put forward is that too many pools that are inspected have deficient barriers and that each deficiency in a pool barrier that is identified and rectified potentially saves the life of a child.

  • The French Economic Mission to Australia 1918
    JACQUELINE DWYER 30 AHEAD OF THEIR TIME: THE FRENCH ECONOMIC MISSION TO AUSTRALIA 1918 JACQUELINE DWYER Introduction In the closing weeks of the Great War, Sydney was taken over by the enthusiastic welcome given to the delegates of an Economic Mission to Australia, sent on behalf of the government of France. They had that morning disembarked from the steamship Sonoma after their journey across the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco.1 The Mission’s principal aim was to re-establish and enhance the trading conditions that had existed between France and Australia in the years preceding the war, taking advantage of Germany’s eclipse. The French Department of Foreign Affairs hoped also to discuss the destiny of former German colonies in the South Pacific, and to resolve the pending situation of the New Hebrides.2 These delegates were to spend three months in Australia, visiting the other state capitals and regional centres where similar welcomes awaited them, and where they were shown the potential trading resources of this nation. This article proposes, through a more detailed description and analysis of the Mission than has been done to date, to cast light on French-Australian relations of the time, combining a number of sources. The Mission’s official report for the general public, The Economic Relations between France and Australia, published in English in 1919, is a detailed assessment of their bilateral trade.3 Especially valuable was Robert Aldrich’s article (1989), ‘La Mission Française en Australie de 1918’, based on the diplomatic archives of the Quai d’Orsay. (Its title has been shortened to Confidential Report.) A third report is the Rapport Thomsen.

  • Sermons on James-Robert Morgan
    Sermons on James-Robert Morgan Introduction - Robert J Morgan is the teaching pastor at Donelson Fellowship in Nashville, Tennessee and is well known for expository messages that are rich in excellent illustrations of Biblical principles. These sermons are older messages preached on various passages in Romans. THREE DIMENSIONS OF FAITH James 1 & 2 Today we’re beginning a series of sermons entitled “365,” daily obedience based on the New Testament book of James. Every single day this year is a day in which our faith should be exhibited by the way we live and by the obedience we have to the Word of God and particularly to the book of James, which is one of the most practical books of the Bible. It is the New Testament version of the Old Testament book of Proverbs. It is made up of pithy sayings, commands, imperatives, and words of practical wisdom. Some people liken it to the Sermon on the Mount. The theme of James is that faith wears work clothes. Faith wears work gloves. Faith is very active. The faith that James is talking about is the kind of faith that operates where the rubber meets the road and where the water meets the wheel. It is a very practical kind of faith. This little book of five chapters has had a couple of strikes against it in Christian history. First of all, the book of James was slow to be accepted by the early church as Scripture. The process of coming up with the twenty-seven books of the New Testament didn’t happen all at once, and it certainly didn’t happen like some people have claimed it did at the Council of Nicea in the early fourth century.

  • Frank Jenner of George Street
    JENNER OF GEORGE STREET http://www.wv4g.org Jesus said that the Kingdom of God is like a man who goes out and sows seed. This is the incredible story of Frank Jenner and how God used him in George Street, Sydney, to spread the good news of Jesus around the world. God bless you and empower you to be a bold and unembarrassed witness of Jesus Christ This updated version of the story of Frank Jenner is produced by www.personaltract.com and is based on the book "Jenner of George Street" by Dr Raymond Wilson. Frank Jenner –George Street Evangelist JENNER OF GEORGE STREET This story started many years ago in a Baptist church in Bournemouth, England. One night the pastor, Dr. Francis Dixon asked a man named Peter to share his testimony. Peter got up and said, “This is how I was saved. I was in the Royal Navy. I was walking down George Street in Sydney, Australia and out of nowhere stepped a gentleman and he said to me, ‘excuse me, sir, but could I ask you a question? I hope that it won’t offend you, but if you were to die today, where would you spend eternity? The Bible says that it will either be in heaven or in hell. Would you think about that, please? Thank you. God bless you!” Then the man left. I had never been confronted with that question – I couldn’t get it out of my mind. I got back to England and met someone who took me to a mission and that’s where I became a Christian”.

Introduction: Mr Eternity xii Arthur Stace was not the first person to write ‘eternity’ around the streets of Sydney. In the SMH (9 November 1887, p. 5), the author of the ‘As You Like It’ column wrote: ‘Only yesterday I found written upon the wall of the building in which my business is transacted the word “Eternity” in letters of a chalk about ten inches by four; and upon the doorstep I was exhorted to repent.’ xv In the SMH, on 31 December 1999, p. 1, The Herald’s editorialist that day opined: ‘The highlight of the fireworks display will be the blaze in a fiery minute or so of the wordEternity “ ”, in Arthur Stace’s copperplate writing … [It] will be a provocative sign, as Arthur Stace intended, of the brevity of human life and the endlessness of life itself.’ xvi In the days that followed [the word Eternity appearing on the Harbour Bridge for New Years celebrations in 2000], there was scarcely a word of protest and plenty of delighted praise. See for example, letters to the editor of SMH, 4 January 2000, p. 10; one correspondent suggested that the Eternity sign should remain on the Bridge ‘forever’; the editorial in the Daily Telegraph (Sydney), 6 January 2000, p.

Marquess of Linlithgow Hopetoun House South Queensferry Lothian Scotland EH30 9SL National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1973, 1980, 1983 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE John Adrian Louis Hope (1860-1908), 7th Earl of Hopetoun (succeeded 1873), 1st Marquess of Linlithgow (created 1902), was born at Hopetoun House, near Edinburgh. He was educated at Eton and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, but did not enter the Army. In 1883 he was appointed Conservative whip in the House of Lords and in 1885 was made a lord-in-waiting to Queen Victoria. In 1886 he married Hersey Moleyns, the daughter of Lord Ventry. In 1889 Lord Knutsford, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, appointed Hopetoun as Governor of Victoria and he held the post until March 1895. Although it was a time of economic depression, he entertained extravagantly, but his youthful enthusiasm and fondness for horseback tours of country districts won him considerable popularity. His term coincided with the first federation conferences and he supported the federation movement strongly. In 1895-98 Hopetoun was paymaster-general in the government of Lord Salisbury. In 1898 Joseph Chamberlain, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, offered him the post of Governor-General of Canada, but he declined. He was appointed Lord Chamberlain in 1898 and had a close association with members of the Royal Family. In July 1900 Hopetoun was appointed the first Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia. He arrived in Sydney on 15 December 1900 and his first task was to appoint the head of the new Commonwealth ministry.
