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.
