President

Stewart Cameron

Ladies and Gentlemen,

On behalf of your Committee I want to take the opportunity of wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year.

Recently we gathered to dine out the old year at our annual dinner. A great night was had and enjoyed by all. For those who have not attended please consider attending next year, it is a very relaxed environment were we get together as friends to enjoy the evening. At our dinner I asked those present to spare a thought and offer a prayer for those men and women on Active Service and for their families. I would ask each and everyone one of you, wherever you are on Christmas Day, to remember those on Active Service and their families. If you know of families in your area who have loved ones deployed take the time to talk to them.

We are a community based organisation, we rely on and support the wider community, mainly through our very active schools program. Could I ask that you consider volunteering as a school‟s contact officer. I am sure that Geoff Haigh would welcome your enquiry.

Turning to the Committee, on your behalf I want to thank them for the work that they have done throughout the year. I also want to thank the many volunteers who willingly give up their time to assist in badge selling during ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day. We cannot survive without their continuing support.

To that end we must have renewal on our Committee. We have a number of vacancies to be filled at our AGM in 2012. Unless these positions are filled we must consider the long term viability of the Sub-Branch. You cannot expect the same people to serve year in and year out. As such, could I extent an offer to some of the more junior members of our Sub-Branch to come onto the Committee. As I have said before: being a member of the RSL is more than just attending ANZAC Day ceremonies and wearing a badge.

In closing, again, may you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Cathy and I extend our warmest wishes to you all at this special time of year.

We do not normally put out News and Views at this time of year, but it seems like quite a gap between early October in one year and February the next. It's a long time to remember what happened at the last General Meeting, so the pertinent points of that meeting are summarised below. I'll also include them next year to refresh your memory before the AGM.

Speaking of the AGM, as long stated by the President, we need new people to step up to take over the reigns of the Management Committee next year. Remember, it‟s not a lifetime commitment, so to help you help us, a Committee Nomination Form is attached at the end of the newsletter.

Summary of the General Meeting Held on 16 October 2011 The Treasurer‟s Report was accepted, the payments listed in the Bank Transactions to

30 September 2011 were approved and the Income and Expenditure Account to 30 September was noted.

Remembrance Day badge sales will commence on Saturday 5 November through to Thursday 10 November.

The Remembrance Day service at Kenmore will commence at 1050 hours. The service held by RSL Care at Fairview will commence at 1025 hours.

The Moggill Anglican Church had sought support for a Service to celebrate Defence Sunday, on 6th November. The request was discussed, but those members present could not assist.

Work had started on the Kenmore Memorial restoration; the olive tree had been removed, paving had been uplifted and restored, but the handrail installation remained uncertain.

The Battle for Australia commemoration service was held in Brisbane on 7 September. Several members from the Sub Branch attended.

The Schools Program Selection meeting had been held and the Kenmore State High School (KSH) bursary winners will be announced by the President at the Awards Night.

The Sub Branch/Schools Breakfast Concert will be held at Fairview on Tuesday 15 November.

In addition to increased bursaries, the Schools Enhancement Program will initiate a prize for a teacher, to get more leverage for the RSL at the same time enhancing the skills of the teacher.

The President again made a plea for members to step up and join the Committee. He announced that the Delegates for next year would be Dianne and Doug Pickering.

The Annual Dinner is confirmed for Friday 2 December at Riverglenn. As with the venue, the cost and menu will be the same as last year.

Shed West will be having an Open Day on Saturday 22 October between 1000 and 1400 hours.

Funds raised at ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day are a substantial proportion of the Sub Branch Income and needed for welfare activities. Badge sellers are needed from 5-10 November.

Laurie Hall advised the meeting that there was great angst among the older veterans concerning the proposed RSL MoU with the Vietnamese Veterans Association. Some of the veterans were talking of resigning from the RSL in protest. The President advised that while there was some support for the proposal, District HQ will not support it, and as no decision had been made in QLD, the MoU may not eventuate.

The guest speakers at the meeting were Blake Sherriff from KHS Year 12 (Sub Branch bursary winner); and Eleanor Mills from Centenary Year 11, (a blind swimmer and winner of an RSL Youth Development Program bursary). Each spoke well and gave a good account of how their bursaries had assisted them in their school activities.

The agenda and date for the AGM next February will be published in the New Year. Julie and I wish everyone a very merry Christmas, a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

Ceremonial

Jack Vintner

Both the Remembrance Day ceremony at Pinjarra Hills, and at the Moggill Digger, went well this year. It was disappointing, however, that the announcement requested at Kenmore Village was not heard in the centre, as I am sure that attendance at this ceremony would have been greater if it had been heard by shoppers.

Unfortunately, Remembrance Day poppy/badge sales at Bellbowrie Plaza were down by about 40% this year. I believe, however, that this was due entirely to the fact that there are only a few shops (including Coles) that have opened in the Plaza after flood repairs, rather than the generosity of the shoppers. My thanks to the members who helped me as sellers, their willing support is always appreciated.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Christmas, and I look forward to seeing as many as possible at our General Meetings, ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day ceremonies next year.

School’s In!

Geoff Haigh

The last activities for 2011 in the Kenmore-Moggill RSL Schools Program have been completed with the 14 schools in our community:

Kenmore-Moggill RSL High School Bursaries. These Bursaries were recently increased from $500 each to $1000 each to meet the current costs of a High School education and supported by funding provided through the Brisbane North RSL District. The Year 11 Bursary went to Rosie Katunar and the Year 12 Bursary to Catherine Anderson who is one of the School Captains at Kenmore State High School. President Stewart Cameron made the presentations at the Awards Night in late October after students submitted written applications addressing the criteria which demonstrate the attributes of the ANZAC spirit.

Kenmore-Moggill RSL Primary School Prizes. This RSL Prize is available to students in Year 7 at each school in our area and also due to funding from Brisbane North RSL District, have this year been increased to include the book, “Just Soldiers” from the ANZAC Day Commemoration Committee and a cheque for $200. Students are also selected on the basis of demonstrated attributes of the ANZAC spirit.

Remembrance Day, 11 November. The number of our schools that include an observance on Remembrance Day has increased. School Contact Officers attended these services where appropriate and supported them in this historic event.

Schools Concert for Remembrance. State Schools of the Kenmore Cluster again invited members and partners to the RSL Concert held at Pinjarra Hills RSL Care after Breakfast on 15 November. The Concert was a wonderful event which showcased the talents of primary and secondary school students. A vote of thanks was moved by Jane Prentice MP, our representative in the Federal Government.

RSL Annual Dinner and Recognition. At the RSL Annual Dinner, Kenmore-Moggill RSL recognised the long and dedicated service of Vic Henderson who has been the School Contact Officer for Kenmore South School since we started the Schools Program. Vic from Bomber Command always wears his blue uniform and with his trademark moustache, he always attracts the students at school events. A Kenmore-Moggill RSL Plaque read “in appreciation of your ANZAC spirit”. Thanks Vic, for many successful missions.

$500,000 RSL Youth Development Program. Kenmore-Moggill RSL supported two applications from local students for the RSL Youth Development Bursaries, $2,500 in Year 11 and $5,000 in Year 12. These awards are provided by Queensland RSL Branch and Bond University and will be announced before Christmas.

More School Contact Officers are needed to give two per school so that we have some backup and reserves for when people are away. So anyone interested, please contact me on 0417 750 585 and continue to serve our country. To all our School Contact Officers – Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thanks for all your contributions in 2011.

Annual [Christmas] Dinner

I never know whether to call this function our Annual Dinner or the Christmas Dinner; in any event it served two purposes and was enjoyed by all.

The dinner was held on Friday 2nd December, again at the Riverglenn Function Centre. Despite the official invitation requesting men to wear a „Lounge Suite‟, fortunately none arrived dressed as a sofa. Though numbers were down slightly on last year, due to last minute cancellation from illness, 74 members and guests attended the dinner.

Our official guests included: Jane Prentice, MP, Federal Member for Ryan, and her husband Ian; Dr Bruce Flegg, State Member for Moggill; Margaret de Wit, Councillor for Pullenvale Ward, and her husband Hank; Vic and Helen Reading, District President; Alan and Marlene Worthington, Centenary Suburbs Sub Branch; Ron and Pamela McElwaine, Sherwood-Indooroopilly Sub Branch; Pam Sherman Carr, Fairview and her husband Robert; and Gillian Tye.

MC for this year was our own Trevor Dixon. Trevor instilled a slightly less formal approach to the evening, which was much appreciated and will probably be emulated for next year. As a technology wizard, he introduced the evening with a data presentation, accompanied by „Silent Night‟, sung in German. My having overlooked a portrait of the Queen for out Loyal Toast, Trevor quickly downloaded a suitable portrait of the Queen and uploaded it onto the screen; saving me embarrassment.

Two of our longstanding members were recognized at the function for their valuable service. Vic Henderson was presented with a plaque for his valuable contribution to the RSL and the Community. Though not present at the function, Brian Farrow was also recognized and will be awarded a plaque on another suitable occasion.

Riverglenn again proved to be an excellent venue. Food was wonderful, drinks were plentiful and the service was great. To my relief, no one recognized that the menu was the same as previous years, so watch out next year! No complaints received suggest the venue will be a front starter for next year. From feedback received, the function was enjoyed by all.

The evening concluded with the traditional lucky door prizes. My many thanks to Trevor for MC-ing the function; a great job Trevor, you are booked for next year. To Graeme Stay for deputizing for me for the weeks I was away immediately before the function; he kept the organising on track. Also, to Chris Osborn and Kevin Daly for coordinating the invitations, acceptances and finances.

Fund Raising

Max Lockwood

I am pleased to report that this year's Poppy Sales Campaign prior to Remembrance Day produced a strong result, despite being slightly down on last year. In summary the results were as follows:-

SALES Kenmore $10,610 ( last year) $10,697

Bellbowrie $ 2,200 " $ 3,748

Schools $ 1,780 " $ 1,417

TOTAL $14,590 " $15,862

PROFIT Gross profit (1) $ 9,441 " $ 9,526

Nett (cash) profit $ 7,061 " $ 7,896

Note (1) Gross profit includes value of retained stock at cost.

Considering the huge impact on the Bellbowrie area from the January floods, we must be thankful for the generous support that the still recovering community managed to provide this year. It was also very gratifying to see the increased support we received this year from the 14 schools in our local schools cluster; it was virtually a 'sell-out' of all the poppies delivered to the schools (some 3300) and, I believe, reflects well on the partnership we have developed with the local Schools community.

I would like to record my warm thanks to all members and friends who assisted with this year's Remembrance Day poppy sales campaign, and especially to Horrie Palmer, Jack Vintner, and Kevin Daly. It will be necessary to recruit several more key helpers next year!

Best wishes to all, for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Harry’s War Part 2 – An Abridged Version

This is the second instalment of Harry’s War, a personal history of fellow member Harry Fincham. You may recall that Harry was at Pietermaritzburg, where nothing much

happened and that he was a proud "v", which denoted he volunteered to serve anywhere in the world, not just South Africa. Harry Fincham continues:

At Hay Paddock I made friends with another ex-schoolboy who was about the same age as I. Miles (Jacko) Jackson and I stayed in touch throughout our training time in Egypt, though we were in separate sections of the same platoon, and later on active service in Italy. One day we were told all leave passes had been cancelled and that evening we were told to pack our kitbags and were marched out of Hay Paddock to a waiting train in a small rail siding nearby. After some hours of waiting (a big part of army life) we heard the engine being shunted onto the carriages and a little later we moved off to Durban, right onto the docks, where a Dutch passenger ship, the Sibajak, was waiting. We went sent

straight from the train to the gang-plank and onto the ship, kit and all. Jacko and I landed up in D deck, the lowest in the ship, a gloomy, smelly area hung with hammocks.

D deck was hot and pretty airless, so we spent a lot of time on deck, watching the activity on the dock. Cranes were loading stores, people were milling around, gawpers gazed up at us.

We had a mail delivery (my first in the army) and I had a letter from my father, enclosing £25 (that was a substantial sum of money in those days; more than three months‟ pay for me). I spent some of the £25 on buying the first beer of my life (wasn‟t too impressed).

We spent three days in Durban docks before we finally set off. There was a big crowd on the quay and we had The Lady In White singing various songs to us. She appeared and performed regularly when troop-ships were leaving and always wore a long white dress. There were no doubt also German spies (or spies for Germany, which was more likely) reporting by wireless on troop and ship movements to German submarines patrolling off the South African coast.

We learned later that the Sibajak was to join a convoy off Durban, en route to Egypt, but we seldom saw any other ships. The Sibajak had accumulated a lot of rubbish (and presumably sewage as well) during its time in dock and the crew started discharging it into the sea while we were still in sight of Durban Bluff. We leaned over the rails watching a whole school of sharks swimming next to the ship and rolling in belly-up to devour the rubbish. Watching them and trying to adjust to the rolling of the ship was not the greatest idea and I very soon began to feel queasy. I went below decks and for a time watched a crown and anchor game in progress. I didn‟t want to hand over any of my money to the man running the crown and anchor (players always lost in the end), but being distracted from my heaving stomach helped for a while. Not long. I (and many other people) spent the next few days puking and rolling around on the deck, not caring if we were torpedoed or if we rolled overboard. One man who was leaning over the rail puking was puked on from the deck above and didn‟t seem even to notice.

One morning I was walking on the deck when I came up to a mesh fence. This turned out to be a barrier between officers and other ranks and I spotted someone on the other side whom I knew. I called out to him and he came to the barrier and we had a chat. He was Lieutenant Stan Hubbard, who had been my brother Keith‟s best friend at school and had even spent one school holiday with us in Theunissen. I didn‟t salute him. There was very little saluting in the South African army in those times.

Our next port of call was Aden, where we took on water. Odd, as that is a very dry part of the world. There were some grey mountains in the background and it all looked pretty dreary.

8

The water lighter came alongside and we leaned over the railings watching. There was only one man on the closed top. He took no notice of us, lifted his galabiya, squatted on the deck, crapped into his hand and threw the proceeds overboard. We debated whether to shoot him. I didn‟t stay to see whether he washed his hand.

After a few hours we left Aden.

Our next (and final) port of call was Tewfik, at the southern end of the Suez Canal. There was a lot of activity on the docks. We had been told to get all our gear together and in due course the gangplank was lowered and we began to disembark. Slow process, like all army proceedings, but eventually we began to embus onto three-ton trucks with slatted seats on the back and tarpaulin covers (standard mode of transport for the likes of us). We threw in our kitbags and climbed up after them. We had been issued with pith helmets (except they weren‟t made of pith, but had obviously been pressed out of some composite material and were quite light-weight). Nobody wore them, but they made good covers for the inside of the tops of kitbags. Once you had the kitbag drawstrings tight nothing could fall out.

So there we were, on firm ground and in Egypt.

We moved slowly west, in a long convoy of trucks, along a dirt road, through featureless desert, and we were soon coated in fine dust.

After some hours of travelling, we saw an encampment of sorts ahead of us. It turned out to be a few tents, one of which housed a mobile kitchen. We were told to line up outside it, with our mess kits, and in due course the queue began to move and we were served some stew, slopped into our mess-tins. We had to eat outside and as we stepped beyond the tent flap we were attacked by small hawks which had earned a rude epithet. They swooped in and tried to get at the stew, but didn‟t have much luck with the crowd of hungry soldiers.

After we had eaten we were directed to another tent, where the officer in charge told us that those of us who had taken the V oath (anywhere in the world) were bound for the South African Sixth Armoured Division. (Where the “Sixth” came from I don‟t know, as there was ever only one armoured division in the South African army). The Sixth Div, commanded by General Evered Poole, was already in training at a place called Khatatba, situated between Cairo and Alexandria. The rest of the Twelfth Battalion went off to start their garrison duties.

We were given a list of units in the division and were told we could choose which unit to go to. Jacko and I pored over the list and decided we liked the idea of the Imperial Light Horse. Nice romantic name. Neither of us knew anything about horses, but we were told that the ILH was a support infantry battalion in an armoured brigade. We‟d be working closely with tanks. That‟s us, we decided. When we finally arrived at Khatatba we discovered that the ILH, which had had heavy casualties in North Africa (especially at Alamein), had been amalgamated with the Kimberley Regiment, so our battalion was known as the Imperial Light Horse/Kimberley Regiment (ILH/KR). The ILH/KR quickly became Ikona Lo Horse/Kannie Ry, which, translated from the Zulu and Afrikaans, means “no horse/can‟t ride”. We were given brass epaulette titles which even we privates wore: ILH/KR. We were also, hooray, issued with standard British battle-dress.

on the occasion of our first day-pass out of Khatatba. We went in by train and our arrival at Cairo main station was like walking into a maelstrom. In addition to hundreds of troops of various nationalities, there were huge crowds of Egyptians, mainly men, with dozens of vendors. They had trays strapped onto their chests and they were loudly proclaiming what they had for sale:

“Yeggs! Yeggs a-cook!” was the cry of one vendor of hard-boiled eggs.

The crowd was no smaller when we got out onto the streets. There were vendors there too and one was so persistent that one of the members of our group (he had served in Egypt before) did a high kick and sent the vendor‟s tray and all his wares flying into the crowd.

I should have felt indignant at the way he‟d been treated, but I didn‟t feel a thing.

9

We decided to visit the army brothel in Berka Street, not as customers, but as gawpers. Pretty sordid. Some of our group also went to the Hygiene Museum, which, they told me (I didn‟t go), was a series of graphic depictions of various stages of different types of venereal disease. The rest of us went and stood insolently near the entrance to Shepheard‟s Hotel. Other ranks (i.e. non-officers) were not allowed in there. (Many years later when Lynda and I were in Cairo we went and had lunch at Shepheard‟s, to celebrate my birthday).

We walked miles that day. Trying to get on a Cairo tram was hazardous, as they were always packed and indeed had chancers hanging onto the sides (I believe some of them were occasionally scraped off by trams going the other way). We did eventually get back to the train station and in due course caught a crowded train back to Khatatba.

Over the first few weeks after arriving I got to know the men in our section very well, especially chatting in our tents at night by candle-light. I was the only one virtually straight out of school. There was a tall man, Bob Maney, in his late thirties, who was a lawyer. Another older man, who wasn‟t comfortable speaking English, had been a ganger on South African Railways. His job had been track maintenance, which meant lots of hard physical work. “You should have seen my hands”, he said. “Like a monkey‟s arse”. Another man had been a professional chef. Later, when we got into the line in Italy and had to do our own cooking, he was a great mentor and when it was his turn to cook he produced some remarkable food, including steamed rice, which he did by putting rice on a piece of flyscreen over a pot of boiling water. One man in our section whom I respected very much was Butch Gatley, probably in his thirties at that time, so deceased by now. Butch was one of the most decent men I‟ve ever met. He took Jacko and me under his wing and went out of his way to look after us, sometimes in dangerous situations. Then there was a tough little man called Pepler, who was later killed in Italy right next to me. Also in our section was Reg Greenaway, who became a great friend. He, like Jacko, was a Natalian and had played soccer for Durban City. Whenever we had a rest period out of the line, Reg and I used to find a table somewhere, spread a blanket over it and write letters home. When I was in hospital in Rome after being wounded for the second time, Reg sent me a postcard from the section. We kept in touch after the war. He died some years ago in an old-age home near Cape Town. I also had some contact after the war with Butch Gatley and one or two other war-time companions.

Training at Khatatba was for desert warfare, though we knew we were going to Italy. We trained to use bren-gun carriers, which were small tracked vehicles, armoured, but open at the top. They were spectacularly uncomfortable to travel in. Each was fitted with a radio, mounted in one of the back sections next to the engine. They were big, clumsy radios, with four dials which had to be co-ordinated and then locked into place with slotted screws when the frequency had been established (most radio operators used their dog-tags to turn the screws). I was volunteered into becoming a radio operator (the other three men in the crew had quickly decided on other jobs and I discovered in due course why they didn‟t want to be radio operators).

Then there was rifle training at a range some distance out of the main camp. We had been issued with .303‟s of Great War vintage. I suppose we should have been grateful we didn‟t get Lee Metfords from the Boer War. Later we longed for the much lighter carbines American troops were using.

Rifles had to be kept immaculate and we were issued with little metal bottles of oil, ramrods and cleaning cloths. Stripping a rifle down (bolt, magazine, bullets) was always done with a time limit hanging over us, the instructor looking at his watch. When we had rifle inspection, we had to lick a thumb-nail and put it into the breach to reflect light up into the barrel for the inquisitor to see whether it was clean.

Our title was no longer Private, but Rifleman. Trouble was, I wasn‟t a very satisfactory rifleman and on one occasion the instructor at a range target practice told me I was the worst rifleman in Jan Smuts‟s army. That was a canard. He couldn‟t have known every rifleman in Jan Smuts‟s army. Jan Smuts was the Prime Minister of South Africa at that time.

The Story of Colin Richardson on the Kokoda Track As written to Colin by RMO Geoffrey Mutton (4 June 1995)

We were hanging about after a very solid and bitter attack where quite a few of our chaps had bean wounded. A party of men came in to tell us that their officer had been hit and they couldn't get him back. They thought that he might still be alive. I said 'Well you can't leave "the poor bugger out there to die on his own.'

I then proceeded to get a couple of blokes to help me look for you and bring you back. Mean-while three of your men turned up with THE BODY. You had a bloody great hole in your chest which was sucking and so impeding your respiration.

... I had been pretty busy fixing up a few of my own wounded and supplies as usual were very, very low. However I found some cat gut in the bottom of my haversack and without any attempt to observe the good surgical principles of sterility I closed the hole. I then rolled you over and to my horror found a bigger bloody hole coming out of your back.

I had run out of gut! First of all I dug a few bits and pieces of uniform out of your chest to see what was going on. I found a few safety pins in my haversack and was successful in closing the wound.

The Padre, Father James Lynch, did the right thing and said the last rites over your fast declining body. I had another look at you and it was then that I decided that you were dead. However I decided that we would not tell the troops and would move up the track before burying you. My Sergeant let out a yell. Sir 'This bloke Just opened one eye'.

Well we did what little we could to keep you attached to this world. Of course the Priest took all the credit of bringing you back to life. I later heard that you were a Mason. My retort to that was 'You were having a both way bet'. Eventually I was able to waylay about a dozen Bungs and arrange your carriage back to Kyola.

I heard later that the boys at Concord were most critical about my lack of sterility, but as you were there you would know that sterility was the least of our problems, I also, heard later that they were still pulling bits of uniform out of your chest a year or more later.
