Rumours from The Office

Welcome everyone to the March edition of “The Furphy”, as everyone who

attended the last General Meeting is aware, the Executive Committee invited the

Operations Manager and State accountant to the Club to help resolve some issues

Within our Club. As a result of the meeting, we have to increase the prices for

food from the “Spitfire Grill” and increase our bar prices (we have not had a

price increase in 18 months). In addition to the price increases, we also have to

reduce our staff hours.

At the moment, we still do not have a Treasurer and the President is out of

action, due to medical reasons, so the Vice President (Lynda) and I are literally

run off our feet. The bonus is that I am very lucky that Lynda is one switched on

lady, God bless her little cotton socks.

We have had a couple of events since the last Newsletter, the first one was the

“Service Members Luncheon”, which went quite well and the “Free Sausage

Sizzle”, which also well attended. Thank you to all the people who volunteered

their time and effort to help organise and set the events up, thank you again. I

would also like to thank the members who attended these events and support our

Club.

ANZAC Day is coming up, which is a very busy time of the year. We do require

volunteers during the week prior to ANZAC Day for the Merchandise stalls in

the shopping centres and also Volunteers for ANZAC Day as well for Marshalls

and Program distributors.

Cheers,

Wombat

TREVOR’S JOKE OF THE MONTH

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave

the cashier a $5 bill.

Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.

She said, 'you gave me too much money.'

I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar coin back.'

She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request.

I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said 'We're sorry but we don’t do

that kind of thing.'

The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change.

Do not confuse the people at MacD's.

-----------------------

We had to have the garage door repaired.

The repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large'

enough motor on the opener.

I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one made at that time, a

1/2 horsepower.

He shook his head and said, 'you need a 1/4 horsepower.'

I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is

larger than two.'

We haven't used that repairman since...

---------------------

I live in a semi-rural area.

We recently had a new neighbour call the local city council office to request the

removal of the DEAR CROSSING sign on our road.

The reason: 'Too many dears are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a

good place for them to be crossing anymore.'

----------------------

My daughter went to a Mexican fast food and ordered a taco.

She asked the person behind the counter for ‘minimal lettuce.’

He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce.

----------------------

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked,

'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?'

To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?'

He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'

--------------------

The pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it's safe to cross the street.

I was crossing with an 'intellectually challenged' co-worker of mine.

She asked if I knew what the beeper was for.

I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red.

5

Appalled, she responded, 'what on earth are blind people doing driving?!'

She is a government employee.....

-------------------

When my husband and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our car after a

service, we were told the keys had been locked in it.

We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to

unlock the driver’s side door.

As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and

discovered that it was unlocked.

‘Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'it’s open!'

His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'

STAY ALERT!

They walk among us, they breed, and they vote…....

Saturday morning the weather was too bad to play golf.

I was bored with nothing to do.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

I opened it to find a young, well-dressed man standing there who said:

"hello sir:

I'm a Jehovah’s witness.”

so, I said:

"Come in and sit down."

I offered him a fresh cup of coffee and asked:

"What do you want to talk about?"

he said:

"Buggered if I know. Nobody's ever let me in before."

Famous Quotes from Winston Churchill

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the

gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without losing

enthusiasm”

“One man with conviction will overwhelm a hundred who have only

opinions.”

MILITARY HISTORY FOR MARCH CREATION OF COMMONWEALTH NAVAL AND MILITARY FORCES

(1901)

How old is Australia’s Navy This might seem a simple question, but over the years the Australian Navy’s

birthday has remained a source of some confusion. The date now accepted is 1

March 1901. The previously accepted date of 10 July 1911 is not the birth date

of naval forces in Australia, rather it was the date that the Sovereign granted

the title ‘Royal Australian Navy’. As with other forces institutions the name

has changed over the last 101 years, but for the Navy the date of 1 March 1901

marks the creation of Australia’s Navy. This is made inviolable by the fact that

by 1911 Australia had already possessed a unified naval force for more than a

decade, as proclaimed in the Australian Constitution.

The legal basis for the creation of the Navy comes from Section 51 of the

Constitution, which gave Parliament the power to make laws with respect to

the naval and military defence of the Commonwealth. At Federation the

Governor-General became Commander-in-Chief, and on 1 March 1901 the

states transferred their naval and military forces and everyone employed in

their connection to the Federal Government. By the following year the two

existing arms of Australia’s defence force were officially recognised by the

titles Commonwealth Naval Forces (CNF) and Commonwealth Military

Forces (CMF later Australian Military Forces).

Port Phillip Bay c.1905 (Artwork by Phil Belbin)

The ships inherited

by the CNF from

the previous state

navies were tired,

old and inadequate

even for training,

and there was little

hope for early

improvement. The

CNF’s budgetary

allocation in 1901-

02 was just

£67,000. By

contrast, the

CMF’s allocation

amounted to £638,000. Despite the disparity, a dilapidated Australian Navy

was not a major national concern if Britain’s Royal Navy could continue to be

10

relied upon to provide maritime protection. Successive British naval

commanders provided this reassurance, and the Commonwealth’s payment of a

subsidy towards maintaining Royal Navy vessels in Australia, reinforced the

idea that issues of naval policy were best left with the British Admiralty.

Watching the growth of foreign naval power in the Pacific, local naval

authorities were less confident. Led by CAPT William Creswell, they feared

the withdrawal of British forces under the exigencies of war. Australia, they

argued, lying at the extreme end of the world’s sea routes and possessing no

land frontier was open to attack only by sea. With communications cut,

industrial paralysis and economic devastation would follow. As Creswell

observed caustically in a 1902 parliamentary report. ‘The spectacle of some

5,000,000 Australians, with an Army splendidly equipped, unable to prevent

the burning of a cargo of wool in sight of Sydney Heads, is only the ordinary

consequence of a policy of naval impotence.’

Deep issues of maritime strategy exercised only a handful of Australian minds,

but the idea of a more capable navy, locally manned, and under the

Commonwealth’s executive direction, gradually gathered support. Once he

became Director of Naval Forces in 1904 CAPT Creswell embarked on a

program designed to breathe new life into the CNF’s operations. Despite the

restricted budget he brought several of the gunboats and torpedo boats back

into commission and renewed regular training exercises to improve combat

readiness. The greater visibility and renewed activity of the CNF proved the

quality of Australian naval personnel and managed to excite public interest, but

the service could not long survive without the replacement of its ancient

vessels. Fortunately, Creswell found an ally in the new Prime Minister, Alfred

Deakin, who, like his Naval Director, preferred active cooperation to subsidies.

In December 1907, Deakin announced that the CNF would be expanded to

include a flotilla of submarines and coastal destroyers, and in February 1909

Australia’s naval representative in London requested tenders for the first three

vessels, the destroyers

Parramatta, Yarra, and

Warrego.

Australian authorities

intended the CNF’s destroyer

flotilla take full

responsibility for coastal

defence. However, by the

time Parramatta and Yarra

11

arrived in local waters Australian naval policy had made an even greater

advance. Finding itself hard pressed to maintain its global naval supremacy the

Royal Navy decided to support a more substantial Australian contribution

towards regional defence. At the 1909 Imperial Conference the Admiralty

suggested that the CNF expand to include a self-contained ‘fleet unit’ based on

a battle cruiser and several light cruisers. The combined package represented

an ideal force structure; small enough to be managed by Australia in times of

peace but, in war, capable of effective action with the Royal Navy. Federal

Cabinet gave provisional endorsement in September 1909 and orders were

made for the additional ships. Just as important, was the passing of the

Australian Naval Defence Act 1910, which provided the clear legislative

authority for a navy that would no longer be limited to Australian territorial

waters.

Since 1904 CNF warships had been designated His Majesty’s Australian Ship

(HMAS), but this had never received the King’s sanction. During their visit to

London for the coronation of King George V, Australian ministers made

known their desire to have the prefix ‘Royal’ attached to the Australian Navy’s

title. On 10 July 1911 King George approved the request “with great

satisfaction”. The decision was promulgated to the CNF on 5 October.

Thereafter the Permanent CNF officially became the Royal Australian Navy

(RAN), and the Citizen Naval Forces the Royal Australian Naval Reserve. At

the stern of Australian ships, the Royal Navy’s White Ensign replaced the

Australian Blue Ensign. The Australian Commonwealth flag thereafter took

the place of the Union flag at the bow.

The Australian Navy did not just happen in 1911, it had existed from 1901.

The bestowal of the title ‘Royal’ reflected more the progress made in the

previous ten years in turning a polyglot collection of obsolescent vessels into a

true fighting service. Perhaps more important in hindsight, however, was that

the steady revitalisation of the Navy marked Australia’s first major step

towards nationhood. Arising from a deeper recognition that defence of

Australia’s national interests could no longer be consigned to others, the

decision to acquire a sea-going navy represented an assumption of national

obligation of momentous proportion. The foresight of men like Creswell and

Deakin was amply rewarded in 1914 when the German East Asiatic Squadron

was decisively deterred from carrying out its plans for cruiser warfare in the

Pacific. But for the navy, wartime Prime Minister W.M. ‘Billy’ Hughes later

declared, “the great cities of Australia would have been reduced to ruins,

coastwise shipping sunk, and communications with the outside world cut off’.

One would be hard pressed to find more appropriate words to mark more than

100 years of service by Australian sailors.

The history of the Australian Army

The history of the Australian Army dates back to colonial forces, prior to

the Federation of Australia in 1901. Some of the colonial forces, which served

the states of Australia at the time, were gradually united into federal units

between 1899 and 1903; thus, forming the beginning of the Australian Army. The

colonial armies were officially united as the Commonwealth Military Forces in

the Defence Act of 1903. Since then the Australian Army as an organization has

changed to suit to needs of the nation; with particular changes occurring during,

and following, the World Wars, Korean War, Vietnam War and Gulf War. In 1916

the title Australian Military Forces was adopted and remained its official name

until 1980, after which it became known as the Australian Army.

For more than 80 years after the first British settlement, the only professional

soldiers in Australia were members of British Army garrisons. The first conflicts

in which large numbers of Australian-born soldiers fought overseas were

the Maori Wars, between 1863–1872, although almost all of these, about 2,500

men served in New Zealand colonial units, or the British Army. By the time that

the garrisons were withdrawn in 1870, the six separate self-governing colonies in

Australia already had their own separate, part-time reserve units, known

as militia or "volunteers". The colonial governments began to raise professional

artillery units, to staff coastal batteries. From 1877 onwards, the British sent

officers to advise the colonies on defence matters, and in the early 1880s, the first

inter-colonial defence conferences were held.

In 1885, the government of New South Wales sent an infantry battalion, with

artillery and support units to the short-lived British campaign in Sudan. During

the economic depression of the early 1890s, large-scale strikes in various

colonies were met with governments mobilising and/or threatening to use militia

against strikers. This was very unpopular and led to successful and historically-

significant campaigns against

the formation of standing,

regular forces. The "two

armies" system was established

whereby the only infantry units

would be militia, although

permanent artillery and other

support units remained.

As Federation of the colonies

approached, on 24 August

1899 the colonial artillery units

were merged into the first

Australian federal army unit.

13

Before Federation of Australia and the forming of the national army, the six self-

governing and independent Australian colonial governments sent contingents to

South Africa to serve in the Second Boer War. The first offer of 250 mounted

troops came from the new colony of Queensland in July 1899, some months

before the declaration of war.

The first arrivals of Australian troops were the First New South Wales

Contingent which arrived in November 1899, after departing London. A

detachment, sent from Australia in October 1899, was known as The Australian

Regiment and was an infantry unit, made up mainly of volunteers from the

Colonies

of Victoria, Tasmania, South

Australia and Western

Australia, who left on one ship

for Cape Town. Due to the way

the war developed, these troops

were converted from infantry

to mounted infantry.

Strong resistance from the

Boer Afrikaner forces led to

further recruiting in the

Australian colonies. Known as Bushmen's Contingents, these soldiers were

usually volunteers with horse-riding and shooting skills but no military

experience. After Federation in 1901, eight Australian Commonwealth

Horse battalions were sent.

Many of the Australian units had a short tour of duty and some were subject to

restructuring. Later Australians transferred to, or enlisted into multinational units,

such as the Bushveldt Carbineers, in which Harry "Breaker" Morant and Peter

Hancock served, before their court martial and execution for alleged war crimes.

Australian units served at many notable actions, including the relief of Mafeking,

Sunnyside, Slingersfontein, Pink Hill, the Relief of Kimberley, Paardeburg,

Bloemfontein, the Siege of Eland's River, Rhenosterkop and Haartebeestefontein.

Australians were there for the

capture of Johannesburg and

were first into Pretoria. Later

they participated at Diamond

Hill.

In all, 16,175 Australians, with

16,314 horses, served in the Boer

War; 251 were killed in action,

267 died of other causes and 43

went missing in action.

14

Six Victoria Crosses were awarded to Australians, five serving with Australian

contingents and one serving with the South African Constabulary. Many

Australians did more than one tour of duty and a number remained after the war

and settled in-country; while others returned to Australia then returned to South

Africa.

The Boxer Rebellion in China began in 1900, and a number of western nations

including many European powers, the United States, and Japan soon sent forces

as part of the China Field Force to protect their interests. In June, the British

government sought permission from the Australian colonies to dispatch ships

from the Australian Squadron to China with Naval Brigade reservists, who had

been trained in both ship handling and soldiering to fulfil their coastal defence

role. The colonies dispatched 200 men from Victoria, 260 from New South

Wales and the South Australian ship HMCS Protector, under the command of

Captain William Creswell. Amongst the naval contingent from New South Wales

were 200 naval officers and sailors and 50 soldiers headquartered at Victoria

Barracks, Sydney who originally enlisted for the Second Boer War. The soldiers

were keen to go to China but refused to be enlisted as sailors. The NSW Naval

Brigade objected to having soldiers in their ranks. The Army and Navy

compromised and titled the contingent the NSW Marine Light Infantry.

As the Boer War raged, the Commonwealth of Australia was founded on 1

January 1901. On 1 March, 28,923 colonial soldiers, being 1,457 professional

soldiers, 18,603 paid militia and 8,863 unpaid volunteers, were transferred to the

new Australian Army. However, the individual units continued to be

administered under the various colonial Acts.

Major General Sir Edward Hutton, a former

commander of the New South Wales Military

Forces, became the first commander of the

Commonwealth Forces' on 26 December and set

to work devising an integrated structure for the

new army. The Defence Act of 1903 brought all

of the units under one piece of legislation; more

significantly, it prevented the raising of standing

infantry units and specified that militia forces

could not be used in industrial disputes

and could not serve outside Australia. The vast

majority of soldiers remained in militia units,

now known as the Citizen Military

Forces (CMF). In 1911, two significant changes

followed a report by Lord Kitchener: the Royal

Military College, Duntroon was established and; a system of universal national

service began: boys aged 12 to 18 became cadets, and men aged 18–26 had to

serve in the CMF.
