NEWSLETTER # 56** NOVEMBER 2011
PRESIDENTS REPORT – November 2011
The month started with a public holiday here to celebrate All Saints Day and with a holiday in Victoria to celebrate the Melbourne Cup. Quite a contrast ! The Sub Branch held its monthly Committee meeting and Australia Day Fiesta Committee meeting immediately following the running of the Cup so a busy start to the month. I believe that we are well advanced and our traditional Fiesta shirt is now on sale already and by the first week in December the raffle tickets for the Monster Raffle will also be on sale. Our submissions to the Branch on capitation fees have been ignored and we are thus left with a 480% increase in fees to be sent to Canberra from your membership subscriptions should you wish to belong to the RSL as a service or affiliate member in 2012. We have reformed our RSL Supporters League (RSL) and I anticipate that a
very large part of our membership will transfer to that at an annual sub the same as this year’s membership of the Sub Branch. In operating terms and membership benefits, entitlements and activities, there is no difference. Canberra can’t help themselves when it comes to money.

Your executive now must deal with a motion put and passed at the October meeting that this Sub Branch seek to move from the membership of the ACT Branch (from which we have no benefits in being a member) to perhaps, and with other overseas Sub Branches (and there is only four of us), to a special part of the National Secretariat almost as a separate Branch. I will examine this further in the various constitutions affected and keep you advised. We have been busy with our Children’s Medical Missions. On Saturday 29 October we attended a mission organized near San Simon, some 30 kilometres away from Angeles upon receiving a special request. The mission was organized as part of the relief to this area as a result of the floods and tyhoon damage recently suffered there. 881 children were examined and received medicines as prescribed from the Sub Branch free. In addition two wheelchairs were donated to two children permanently disabled with cerebral palsy, and four nebulizers were donated to the four barangays involved in the mission. (See pics on page 9 of this newsletter) On Saturday 5 November, we held our regular monthly mission at Barangay Ninoy Aquino, Marisol Subdivision, and 1350 children attended and were examined, and their prescriptions filled by the Sub Branch. Our special thanks in the latter to the medical professionals from the Holy Angel University and Angeles University Foundation who attended. Of course thanks also to the WAGS (wives and girl friends) and the members who attended. Again to Darren and Myline Rothnie (Hannah Cabinets) for the use of their closed truck to transport the medicines on each mission, and to Viv Hart to carry additional “stuff” on his ute !! . It would be remiss of me if I didn’t give a special mention to Lindsay Drury (Committee) and Rob Cairns (Vice President) who between them brief the Barangay Captains and physically survey the site of each mission beforehand to make sure that things run smoothly on the day. This is invaluable, and our reputation amongst the Barangays of Angeles in conducting a slick, smooth running and secure mission is now recognized. Enough for the month. Don’t forget the final Children’s Medical Mission for the year to be held on 3 December. A map and details will be published nearer the date on the web site. JAMES E. CURTIS-SMITH President

WHAT IS REMEMBRANCE DAY
Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day, Armistice Day or Veterans Day) is a memorial day observed in
Commonwealth countries to remember the members of their armed forces who have died on duty since World War I.
This day,or alternate dates, are also recognised as special days for war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth
countries.
Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the official end of World War I on that date in 1918, as the
major hostilities of World War I were formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918
with the German signing of the Armistice
The day was specifically dedicated by King George V, on 7 November 1919, to the observance of members of the
armed forces who were killed during World War I.
The red remembrance poppy has become a familiar emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem In Flanders
Fields. These poppies bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders in World War I, their brilliant red
colour an appropriate symbol for the blood spilt in the war.
Actually the Armistice was signed by the German government representatives and allied representatives in a railway
carriage in France at 5am that morning but was to take effect at ‘the eleventh hour’.
Most commanders in the field stood down their troops, where they played cards or slept awaiting the eleventh hour.
Some commanders didn’t believe that an Armistice and not an unconditional surrender, was appropriate, and so
continued to commit troops to warfare.
One such commander was the notorious US Brigadier General ‘Black Jack’ Pershing who decided to continue, thus
causing approximately another 350 casualties to his troops. He is also credited with having the last KIA before the
eleventh hour came into effect. His decision was subject to a congressional enquiry when he was returned to the
United States.
He was heavily criticised for his decision, but he steadfastly maintained that Germany should have been forced to
surrender rather than have an Armistice.
In Australia, Remembrance Day is always observed on 11 November, although the day is not a public holiday.
Services are held at 11 a.m. at war memorials and schools in suburbs and towns across the country, at which the "Last
Post" is sounded by a bugler and a one-minute silence is observed.
7
In recent decades, however, Remembrance Day has been partly eclipsed by ANZAC Day as the national day of war
commemoration.
This being November, the month of Remembrance I have chosen to include two plaques that I photographed on a
memorial wall at the Launceston (Tasmania) War Memorial recently. The one on the left is dedicated to the Captain
and crew of HMAS Australia who were involved in the liberation of the Philippines during WW2.
HMAS Australia sustained two days of attacks from what the Japanese called ‘the Devine Wind’ (kamikaze). The
ship eventually had to head south for major repairs to damage inflicted by the kamikaze attacks.
HMAS Dechaineux, a current Collins Class submarine in the RAN has been named after CAPT Dechaineux.
The plaque on the right is closer to home for me. The name in the centre (8th
from the top) T.J. (Tommy) Grose and I
shared a bible when we uttered the oath upon joining the army on 18th
June 1964 in Hobart. Tom and I both served
together in 2RAR before they left for service in Vietnam. Tom was KIA on that tour.
Of another interest to me is the name 10th
from the top, B.W. Kelly whose army number 6410158 was just six
numbers before mine which was 6410164. I did know Barry but was unaware of his army number at the time.
A sad co-incidence is that of the 17 soldiers named above, Brewer and Banfield came from Ulverstone and Kelly,
Coombs and Hyland came from Wynyard, both rather small towns on the North West coast of Tasmania. Ed

Monday, 7 November 2011 VA099 CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS FOR ANZAC DAY 2012 IN GALLIPOLI The Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, Warren Snowdon, today encouraged Australians to consider being part of the team of volunteers to assist in next year’s Anzac Day commemorations in Gallipoli, Turkey. Mr Snowdon said those interested have just one week to nominate for the Conservation Volunteers (CV) program with applications closing on 15 November 2011. “The volunteer program to Gallipoli offers an opportunity for Australians and New Zealanders to make a valuable contribution while experiencing the reverence of this symbolic historic occasion,” he said. “Anzac Day is a reminder of the courage, resourcefulness, determination and mateship displayed by the Anzacs in 1915. “The contribution of the volunteers on the ground during the Anzac Day period is highly valued.
Those selected are partly subsidised for the costs of the trip, so they can assist with a range of activities including site preparation, crowd liaison and distributing information packs to visitors.” The Conservation Volunteer’s program runs from 18-29 April, with up to 30 places available. Volunteers must be over 18 years of age. Volunteer Josie Sargent from Coogee in New South Wales said her trip to Gallipoli this year was a valuable experience with a very organised group of professional, fun and knowledgeable people, passionate about their work and contributing in a worthwhile way to Australia. Fellow volunteer Stewart Peace from Moama in New South Wales added, “Being on the ground with Conservation Volunteers gave us an opportunity to contribute to the commemorations… and see the respect and reverence shown by all young Australian and New Zealanders [there].” The Australian and New Zealand Governments, together with the Turkish authorities, plan and facilitate the commemorative services for thousands of visitors to the Gallipoli Peninsula, including the Dawn Service, Australian service at Lone Pine and New Zealand service at Chunuk Bair. For more information on the volunteer program or to apply, phone 1800 032 501 or visit www.conservationvolunteers.com.au For more information about Anzac Day commemorations visit www.dva.gov.au/gallipoli

Australian War Memorials (a continuing series)
The Royal Australian Regiment Association of Queensland Division volunteers have built and maintain a beautiful memorial to those members of the Royal Australian Regiment (RAR) who have died in the service of the Regiment. Firstly they acquired a large area within the confines of Gallipoli Barracks, Enoggera, a suburb of Brisbane where they, with donations, assistance with labour and stores built a tremendous area of reflection and assembly featuring their memorial board of names. Behind the memorial building they built a meandering pathway through a planted area of trees depicting the wars
that the RAR has been involved in since their inception in the Korean War. Each tree has a nameplate at its base of Regimental members who died in service with the RAR.
They have incorporated picnic tables and a rest area near to the car park.
The Memorial Wall and reflection area
Ceremonies on Kapyong Day, ANZAC Day, Vietnam Veterans Day and Remembrance Day are all conducted at the memorial.
Entry is through the main entrance in Lloyd Street. As Gallipoli Barracks is a working Army Base, signing in is a mandatory requirement. Security buildings are just outside the main entrance and that is where visitors sign in.
Everyone is welcome to visit this memorial.
Every member and ex member of the Royal Australian Regiment should put a
visit to ‘their’ memorial on their list of places to visit when they are in Brisbane.
The regimental volunteers deserve great credit for the unpaid work that they do in
maintaining the memorial. They could be spotted doing something around it
whenever I visit the site, which is often. Ed

Vale Lieutenant-General (Rtd) Sir Donald Dunstan AC KBE CB Minister Kenyon joins South Australians in paying tribute to the former Governor of South Australia, Sir Donald Dunstan, who died on Saturday aged 88. Sir Donald, who served as Governor of South Australia between 1982 and 1991, was a career Army officer, he graduated from the Royal Military College (RMC), Duntroon, in 1942. He served in infantry regimental appointments and as a junior staff officer in New Guinea, Bougainville and New Britain. He was second-in-command of 1st Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment in Korea in 1955, twice a member of the staff of the Royal Military College, and a member of the directing staff at the Australian Staff College and the British Army Staff College, Camberley. In 1964, he commanded 1 RAR and then the 1st Recruit Training Battalion. In 1968, he was appointed Deputy Commander of the Australian Task Force in South Vietnam. Subsequently, he commanded 10th Task Force. In 1970, he attended the Imperial Defence College in London. He returned to South Vietnam in 1971 as a Major General, Commander of the Australian Force. On his return to Australia, he was appointed Chief of Material, followed by the appointment as General Officer Commanding Field Force Command. Major General Dunstan was promoted Lieutenant General and served as Chief of General Staff for five years from 1977 to 1982. In 1982, Sir Donald succeeded Sir Keith Seaman as Governor of South Australia. “Sir Donald was born in Murray Bridge in 1923 and throughout his life remained proud of his South Australian connections,” Premier Rann said. “He served his nation with great distinction both as an army officer in three conflicts and as Governor of South Australia. “I remember the last time I saw Sir Donald was at the unveiling of the Vietnam War memorial at the Torrens Parade Ground in the city. “The memorial depicts an Australian soldier standing alongside a South Vietnamese comrade. “I know that Sir Donald’s attendance at the unveiling meant a great deal to the veterans that attended the service and to the families of those who lost their lives in the conflict.” Premier Rann said he and the Government extended their deepest condolences to Lady Dunstan and her family. As a former Governor of the State, Sir Donald’s family has been offered a State funeral.
VC CORNER Leslie Starcevich VC WX11519 Private Leslie Thomas STARCEVICH
2/43rd Australian Infantry Battalion AIF
28th June 1945, near Beaufort, British North Borneo
"Private L. Starcevich was a member of 2/43rd Australian Infantry Battalion during the capture of
Beaufort, North Borneo. During the approach along a thickly wooded spur, the enemy was
encountered at a position where movement off the single track leading into the enemy defences was
difficult and hazardous. When the leading section came under fire from two enemy machine-gun
posts and suffered casualties, Private Starcevich, who was a Bren gunner, moved forward and
assaulted each post in turn. He rushed each post firing his Bren gun from the hip, killed five enemy
and put the remaining occupants of the posts to flight. The advance progressed until the section
came under fire from two machine gun posts which halted the section temporarily. Private Starcevich
again advanced fearlessly, firing his Bren gun from the hip and ignoring the hostile fire, captured
both posts single handed, disposing of seven enemy.
These daring efforts enabled the Company to increase the momentum of its attack and so relieve pressure on another Company which was
attacking from another direction. The outstanding gallantry of Private Starcevich in carrying out these attacks single handed with complete
disregard of his own personal safety resulted in the decisive success of the action" Leslie STARCEVICH was born on 5th September 1918 at
Subiaco, Western Australia. He died on 17th November 1989 and was buried at Esperance, Western Australia.

HERE IS THE REASON FOR THE PUB WITH NO BEER
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBDBXZToc84
(Push ctrl button and click on the link above to watch a video and the song)
Where the hills roll away, from a small country
town,
There are hearts filled with sorrow as the word
spreads around,
And the jackass won't laugh, as there's no jokes
to hear,
So let me tell you the reason for the pub with
no beer.
Broken down on the track, for she stripped
every gear
There's the old grey blitz wagon, the one with
the beer
And the driver's near mad, standin' scratchin'
his ear
He knows just what they're thinkin', at the pub
with no beer.
When the drover rides out and draws rein by
the truck
He joins in with the driver and curses their
luck,
"Where's Billy the blacksmith, we could do
with him here"
But Bill's moved on to Grafton where the
brewery stands near.
So the drover rides back, with a brilliant idea,
He rides hard in the saddle 'til the town's
drawin' near,
He dismounts in the lane and the dog cringes
near,
As the swaggie's just leavin' the pub with no
beer.
There's exitement all round as the drover tells
where,
The old blitz’s busted, on the plain way out
there,
'Every man that can ride." says the drover to
all,
"Saddle up, lets get movin', and bring back the
haul."
When the boys rode back in, what a strange
sight they made,
They charged into the town, like the old light
brigade,
With tow ropes and tackle, they all pulled as
one
And the old blitz moved faster than she ever
had done.
Soon the kegs were rolled in, one was placed
on the bar,
They filled all the glasses, every jug and each
jar
Till the word passed around, and they all gave
a cheer,
And there was laughter once more, in the pub
with no beer.
