The Rotary Club of Charlton are

proud sponsors of the Charlton

Community Newsletter.

OH MY GOD, I finally got a newsletter out in time,

WHOOP WHOOP.

September was a bit more quiet of a month for me. We

have been having a lot of fun with the new addition of

the family. Peppa is so cute and we love having her

around.

October is going to be busy and fun. We are going

camping late in October for a few nights, for anyone

that knows be well I’m not the best camper in the world

so its going to be a little bit of a challenge, hehe.

Tyler is heading off on school camp this week.

How quiet is our house going to be? Have fun mate :-)

This months newsletter has lots of up and coming

events to read up about. There is so much on in

October, next months newsletter will be a big one I’m

sure.

We have the winners of the Football & Hockey Club

vote counts, congratulations to all.

A huge thanks to all those who have provided me with

Footy, Hockey & Netball news over the past few

month, its very much appreciate and I look forward to

working with you again next year.

The front cover this month is actually the front cover of

the Charlton show schedule. This was designed by

Emma Finlay, great job Emma.

I hope you are all getting organized for the show. Going

buy the front cover it is sure to be one of the best yet.

Now I’m going to talk about Christmas so don’t freak

out.

The Christmas edition of the newsletter always comes

out in the middle of the month so if you have any events

that fall in the first 2 weeks of December it would be a

good idea to send them in for the November edition.

AHHHHHH Christmas. So not ready to be thinking

about that.

Hope you all have a great month

Take care.

Ric and Michelle Brodrick leading educators from Geelong will speak at the AWD

meeting at The East Charlton Hotel at 8 pm on Monday October 26.

Ric originally from Melbourne and Michelle from St Arnaud are currently teaching

at St Joseph's College Geelong where Ric is the Director of students and Michelle the

Deputy Principal.

Both of them have an interest in social justice issues and community service and have

been instrumental in developing a number of initiatives over the years. Of most

significance was the Blacktracks program developed by Michelle that immersed Year

9 students into a remote Aboriginal community South east of Alice Springs. With a

particular focus on women's business and issues affecting young Aboriginal children

the program gained a lot of attention and Michelle was awarded Victorian Secondary

Teacher of the Year in 2005.

Ric's also been fortunate to develop a significant relationship with a remote

community in Southern Uganda and has led five trips there with Year 12 students and

staff to work with schools in a small village still recovering from the ravages of war,

poverty and AIDS, but emanating a strong sense of resilience and hope for a future

filled with promise.

This is a great opportunity to learn from the rich experience of Ric and Michelle's

work and travel. So come along and be inspired and entertained. They're both great

speakers.

If you wish to join the group for a meal at 6.30 pm RSVP to Jo Russell by

October 23.

As we emerge from the depths of winter, the Charlton Open Gardens

Day on Sunday 11 October will provide just the right amount of

motivation to shake off the “cold weather blues” and get out and

enjoy the beauty of local spring gardens.

While most of us have been hibernating, five Charlton families,

individuals and organisations have been hard at work preparing a

showcase of gardening styles for this, the third annual Open Garden

event, run by the North Central Garden Club.

Club Secretary, Sue Walsh said the Open Garden Day will offer

something for everyone with a variety of garden themes, along with

stalls at the Registration Centre at the Charlton Seniors Club Rooms

in High Street.

“Passionate gardeners and those with a passing interest will be

inspired by what others have done” said Sue. “We really appreciate

the contribution of those who have made their gardens available, and

like other years, they will have the opportunity to explain to visitors

how their creations evolved.”

This year’s event includes the Stephanie Alexander Garden at the

North Central Trade Training Centre, along with court yard, rustic,

resort and cottage styled gardens in and around Charlton.

“We encourage people to come along and find out more about each of

these unique gardens, and maybe pick up some ideas for your own

garden.”

“It’s thanks to our many sponsors that we are able to present this

event for the local and wider communities, as well as drawing people

from further afield,” said Sue.

“Our thanks in particular go to Acciona Berrimal Wind Farms, along

with the Charlton Community Bank, North West Ag, House To

Home, Country Savers, One Passing Moment and the Buloke Shire.”

Sue said the Open Gardens Day has brought many people to Charlton

over the previous two years and offers great potential to boost the

local tourism opportunities.

With the Charlton Rotary Art Show also taking place from 9-12

October, it’s definitely worth

making a visit to take in the two

Spring events.

The Charlton Open Gardens

Day runs from 11am - 5pm on

Sunday 11 October.

Entry is $15 which includes

access to all gardens, plus

afternoon tea at the registration

hub at the Charlton Seniors

Club Rooms at 1 High Street.

Plant stalls, preserves, and a

range of “gardenalia” products

will be also be available on the

day.

So no excuses! Dust off the sun

hat, put on the “sunnies” and

check out the beauty and

blossoms of Spring!

The distinctive chopper noise of the HEMS 3 (Helicopter

Emergency Medical Service) arrival at the Charlton Campus of

East Wimmera Health Service (EWHS) recently alerted the

township to the “visitor” dropping into town.

While there was no emergency unfolding, the Bendigo based

HEMS 3 was on a mission to check that facilities at the

Charlton Campus helipad were all in order before signing off

on its usability.

Entry and exit from the helipad, especially regarding tree

clearances, was one of many details being assessed, along with

the pad inspection, visibility from the air, the area surrounding

the helipad, and the Pilot Activated Lighting (PAL).

On hand to greet the air crew and paramedics were CEO of

EWHS Kathy Huett, Campaspe Group Manager of Ambulance

Victoria (AV) Kerry Strachan, EWHS Campus Manager,

Dallas Coghill and Charlton AV Station Officer, Harry

Brindley.

Discussions between all parties ensued as the team met with

representatives and administrators, passing on observations and

detailing any fine-tuning which may be required.

The capabilities of the HEMS fleet are eye-opening when

viewing the confined interior of the craft with its

multitude of lifesaving equipment strategically placed

for easy access.

Predominantly a “one-patient” transfer, the ability to

take a second patient can be facilitated, but only under

certain circumstances. In an already limited working

space, a second patient places even greater demands on

the paramedics.

HEMS also carries blood supplies which can be vital in

establishing an immediate treatment regime in an

emergency situation.

From 1 January 2016 the entire Victorian HEMS fleet

will be replaced with custom built Augusta Westland

AW 139 twin engine helicopters, capable of travelling

longer distances on less refuelling. The new craft are

designed for dealing with emergency medical demands

and will be larger, faster and quieter than the current

aircraft.

Local health care representatives are pictured with the HEMS 3 helicopter at the

EWHS Charlton Campus during the reconnaissance of the new helipad last Monday

– (l-r) Harry Brindley (AV Charlton Station Officer), Kathy Huett (CEO EWHS),

Impressed with the functioning of the new helipad, HEMS 3 lifts off from the Charlton

Campus.

During August the Traveller’s Rest toilets were a hive of activity

for a different reason. Although they had served Charlton well for

many years, the toilets were in need of a refresh so they could

remain one of the Calder Highways best rest stops. Thanks to a

generous grant from the Bendigo Bank ($7295), donations from

the Charlton Lions Club ($5300), Skeeta Grimshaw ($2000) and

Charlton Forum ($800), plus $4000 from the Traveller’s Rest

Committee, the work undertaken included the installation of new

vanities, tiling the walls and painting the bricks. The Traveller’s

Rest Committee are to be congratulated on their continuing

efforts to improve the Traveller’s Rest facility.

On the weekend of 13th-15th November, Charlton Lions Club are

hosting the 2015 District Convention at our Rex Theatre, with the

Lions Lodge and Shire Hall also being venues for various functions

during the weekend.

Charlton Lions recognised by hosting a District Convention it was

one way we as a community could thank Lions Clubs from far and

wide for all the financial, actual in-kind and physical assistance given

by so many to help communities like Charlton recover from the

devastating floods of 2011.

Lions plan to showcase Charlton during the weekend, encouraging

visitors to wander through the business precinct, include a drive or

leisurely walk around town to appreciate the on-going development of

community assets. Within a short stroll is the new hospital complex,

encompassing the ultra-modern ambulance station and emergency

helicopter landing-pad. Take in advancements of Travellers Rest and

Gordon Park sporting the recently commissioned Skate Park, plus

serenity of the Avoca River Walking Track. Not to be forgotten is the

new trade teaching facilities at Charlton P-12 College.

Charlton Lions Club are also extending an open invitation for

everyone to attend the Opening Ceremony within the Rex Theatre on

Friday evening, 13th November. Commencing at 7.30pm, Year 10

students of Charlton P-12 College will carry forth and present all the

national flags of countries where Lions Clubs International are truly

active. Former Charltonian, Derek Guille (of ABC radio fame) will

be Guest Speaker. A grand evening finale is Derek joining the local

Ukulele group on stage to entertain all in the auditorium.

Saturday’s agenda continues at the Rex, with a mixture of Lions

business and speakers raising either topical issues or talking on

humanitarian needs. An evening Dinner Dance at the Shire Hall will

conclude the day-long activities.

On Sunday morning at 9am a Remembrance Ceremony will be held,

when all Lions and Lions partners who have passed away during the

previous 12-months will be remembered. Later in the morning, as

guest speaker John Harley will deliver the story of Charlton Driver

Education Centre. A BBQ lunch at Rotary Park will conclude the

weekend, bidding farewell to all guests and conventioneers.

Charlton Arts is delighted to bring you Tijuana Peanut the final

show in the 2015 Cafe Culture series on Saturday November 7 at 8

pm at The Charlton Golf Club.

Tijuana Peanut are a natural successor to Herb Albert's Tijuana

Brass whose music millions of fans cut the rug to over the past

fifty. Now this fabulous music is revived for our enjoyment right

here in Charlton.

Tijuana Peanut enthusiastically intermingle the sounds of trumpet,

trombone, tenor guitar, double bass, drums and melodica to build

an infectious sound which can entice even the most renowned left

footer off their seat.

Their vast repertoire includes Tijuana Taxi, The Little Spanish

Flea and a plethora of more modern tunes including the theme

music from Pink Panther, Rawhide and Doctor Who. It's uplifting,

danceable music from musicians bursting with talent.

While they maintain a traditional approach to the Tijuana sound

they also bring some of the latest and greatest hits into their

repertoire. It's exciting and nostalgic with so many recognisable

tunes - a wonderful night's entertainment that's suitable for all

ages.

The Cafe Culture Shows are presented by Just Shows to Go and

sponsored by Arts Victoria and the Victorian State Government.

This means people in country Victoria can experience top quality

entertainment.

No longer an activity discouraged in the classroom,

making and flying paper planes is now both a science and

a sport, and has recently been catapulted into prominence

thanks to the Australian movie of the same name “Paper

Planes”.

And as a special end-of-term treat, P- 6 students from the

Charlton P12 College and St.Joseph’s Primary School took

to the Rex Theatre on the last day of term to see the movie

and test their own aerodynamic creations with a “fly-off”

from the upstairs balcony.

A double dose of inspiration came not just from the movie,

but from having received plane-making tuition from the

man who inspired this feel-good story, Dylan Parker.

A plane making fanatic since a young age and a dedicated

and successful competitor in the sport, Parker was

diagnosed with a brain tumour just after his 21st birthday in

2009. Despite an initially dire prognosis, the eventual

outcome was far less

devastating, and through his ordeal the passion for plane

making is what kept him upbeat.

While the development of the movie alludes to Dylan

Parker, it is not a story about his life. Director Robert

Connelly says the movie captures Parker and his friend

James Norton’s passion and enthusiasm for the simple art

of paper plane making. While both are Australian

champions in the sport, it was their experiences attending

the world championships in Austria which helped to

inspire the movie.

For the Charlton P12 College students the chance to be

mentored by the best proved to be an exciting experience

as well.

Co-ordinator, Carolyn Olive said that students were taught

the fundamentals of flight, along with being shown how to

make the various models.

“There were paper planes just everywhere” said Carolyn,

“and the students have kept on making them and trialling

them since the workshop mid last term. It was thanks to

the support from the parents group and the school which

enabled students to have this great opportunity.”

There was a palpable air of excitement at the Rex as

students were organised into age groups and readied to

throw their planes from the balcony. With the stage

curtain and screen raised, the incentive was there to try and

hit the back of the stage wall!

On the count of “3” a flurry of planes cascaded into the

auditorium.

Eventual winners were Cooper Boyle (P-3 Furthest

Throw), Jordan Start (4-6 Furthest Throw), Poppy

Fitzpatrick (P-3 Best Decorated Plane) and Bree King (4-6

Best Decorated Plane).

On behalf of both schools P12 College teacher, Mrs.

Stanley thanked Carolyn Olive for her organisation, along

with all at the Rex for having the opportunity of taking

part in this unique event.

An exciting way to wind up the winter school term and

begin holidays which will no doubt include more paper

plane fun!

A cascade of paper planes flew over the auditorium of the Rex during the

“throw-off”.

There were gasps of amazement as Jordan Start (l) and Cooper Boyle’s (r) planes

soared across the auditorium at the Rex. Each won their respective age groups in the

“Furthest Throw” category, receiving a DVD of the movie as a prize.

Ready for “take-off”! St. Joseph’s Primary School students are primed and ready to test

their craft following the school screening of the Australian movie “Paper Planes” at the

Rex last Friday. Pictured (l-r) are Angus Soulsby, Nick Thompson, Ned Zagame, Tahi

Roberts and Chelsy Good.

The parent committee and staff at the Charlton & District

Preschool are grateful for a very generous recent donation of

$3,000.00 from the Sketa Grimshaw Tourers Motorcycle Club.

President Rachel Lloyd said “we were all overwhelmed and

extremely thankful for the money. The Kinder has a small

group of just nine students this year and as a committee it is our

responsibility to pay for any shortfall required to run the

centre.” Rachel went on to say the Kinder committee have a

plan in place to fund raise as much of the deficit as possible

and some money in the bank from previous years of fund

raising; however, it’s a large sum of money to raise for any

group, let alone a small group of only nine families.

The Sketa Grimshaw Tourers Motorcycle Club hold the

Redback Rally annually near Charlton, which hosts up to 1000

motorcycle enthusiasts from across Victoria and interstate.

Treasurer of the Motorcycle Club, Tracy Dalrymple said “the

club members put a lot of work into the rally, and it’s nice to be

able to share some of the financial benefits with local

community groups.”

The Kinder plans to put some of the money towards replacing

two small water tanks for the benefit of this year’s children’s

learning and enjoyment, and the children in years to come.

Pictured is Sketa Grimshaw Tourers Motorcycle Club Treasurer, Tracy Dalrymple

their skill to successfully put the ball through the hoop and so offi-

cially open the croquet season. President Janet Richardson wel-

Club.

Life Member Mavis McGurk was in attendance as an onlooker

and was proud to be able to roll the Kitty assisted by her son Ken

Kevin O’Connor, another of our Life Members rolled the first

within 300mm.

Three games of eight ends were played in Fours with two teams

winning three games, and roll off to the meter stick sorted out the

welcome to come back as is anyone else who feels that bowls would

now suit their sporting attributes would be most welcome also.

President Richard Porter, Life Member Kevin O'Connor and Life Member Mavis

McGurk.

The weather is now warming up fast and while the paddocks are lovely and green we are all aware that this is not going to last for long

with gardens drying out already. It is time to check out the summer wardrobe, and find the straw hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. We

had 48 present with 16 apologies (hoping our sickies are well again soon)

Anne Kenny this year’s Footy Tipping organiser added some humor to this segment with a few funnies and was pleased to announce

the most winners for the month were picked by Pam Rosewall.

Beth Curnow had a lovely selection of Jokes, stories and a poem focussed on Fathers and Grandfathers and the “Good Old Days” some

quite moving with a number of tears to be seen around the room. This was followed by a trading table that proved quite successful

thanks to those who participated.

Our guest speaker was Jenny Cossar from East Wimmera Health Services she spoke on the delicate subject of (Advance Care

Planning) some things to do in preparation for future needs which help reduce the stress for all involved Client, family and loved ones

when the time comes to make decisions. The issues include, Palliative Care, supported Care, Advocacy and even Organ Donation to be

considered. The need, for such discussions have been brought to the attention of

Carers and Authorities as it is not only the elderly who can find themselves in need

for pre planning but younger people in Care due to severe injury in Car and

Workplace accidents where some idea of what they value and wish to put into place is

important. The highlighted issues give Carers being family, treating practitioners, and

Community service providers a clear indication of what you want for yourselves. It

would also include any religious and cultural matters that you value and are important

to you. While it is important to put in place a Power Of Attorney the choices only

come into play when you cannot speak and act for yourself. Ideally such a document

would be kept by family, power of Attorney, Doctor, and Clinic you attend, thanks

Jenny. Our Club has another trip this time to Avoca with a number of very interesting

places to visit, we fill you in on what took place in the next edition.

On Saturday 5th September after a gruelling

game played by their women's team, Charlton

Hockey Club held it's annual vote count. The

night saw many characters by the likes of flower

children, Austin Powers, and 'mod' women walk

through the door in accordance with the theme

of 'The Sixties', which was set to further

celebrate the club's 50 year anniversary.

President of the club Kylie Fitzpatrick opened

the night, mentioning some of the achievements

that members have had this year in hockey, as

well as congratulating the league representatives

Leanne Gretgrix, Julie Bourke, Gillian Gretgrix

and Kellie Madge.

Votes for Underage were then read out by coach

Julie Bourke, who announced Best and Fairest

Male Henry Bourke on 67 votes, and Best and

Fairest Female Xanthe Fitzpatrick on 38 votes.

Henry and Xanthe were also two of three elected

captains of Underage for the year, displaying

sportsmanship and leading their team to some

commendable wins in the season. Julie then

awarded her Most Determined to half-back Nicholas Olive,

Most Reliable to up and coming junior player Angus

Jablonka and her Coaches award to Jazzmin Phillips, a first

year player. Best in Finals was awarded to Henry Bourke

after the team's game in the first finals vs. Donald.

Women's was next with Coaches Leanne Gretgrix and Deb

Hobbs taking the stage to announce the votes. Zoe Allcock

was awarded the Best and Fairest on 60 votes with Tessa

Fitzpatrick Runners Up Best and Fairest on 41 votes. Most

Determined was awarded to Danielle Lang after her

admirable return to hockey after an injury last season, while

the Most Reliable was awarded to strong half-back Brooke

Thompson and Coaches award to Captain of the team Kelly

Wright.

Above Picture: Most Conscientious award recipient

Kellie Madge and Club Person Award recipient

Julie Bourke.

Coach Tristan James was up next to

announce the men's votes. Henry Bourke was

victorious yet again in securing himself

another Best and Fairest win with Darcy

Lambert in second place. Coaches award

went to Mathew Thompson, a younger player

who had to rise to the challenge of playing

senior hockey. Most Reliable went to one of

the most versatile players on the team Ping

Ong and Most Determined to Brendan

Bourke, a first year goalie who never gave it

anything but his all.

President Kylie Fitzpatrick took the stand

again to announce Julie Bourke as Club

Person of the year for all of her work and

commitment to the club. Alongside Julie was

Kellie Madge who was awarded the Charlton

Massage Clinic award "Most Conscientious" for her tireless work as

treasure of both the league and club.

Charlton Hockey Club's first life membership in over 10 years was

awarded to Leanne Gretgrix for her impressive 22 year commitment

to the club in which time she has held many roles including secretary

and president of the club, coach of mixed, underage, women's and

men's, President of the league and many more. Leanne's achievement

is not one to be taken lightly as she now joins a team of just four

other life members.

All recipients of awards on the night should be congratulated for

their efforts in the season alongside the Club and League Committee

who have worked tirelessly to help keep the club running and as

The Charlton Football Club held their 2015 Vote Count and

Presentation Day on Sunday the 20th of September. The day was

attended by many players, families and supporters of the club. The

CFC Juniors held their count and Presentations first up in the day

before everyone enjoyed a bbq lunch with salads and sweets provided

by the players and their Families.

Cobi Fitzpatrick won the under 13’s Best and Fairest with Patrick

Sait runner up while the Under 16’s Best and Fairest award was taken

out by Nathaniel Holmes Brown with Jack Thompson next in the

voting. Junior President John Cossar gave a brilliant speech about the

importance of Junior sport and its many benefits including giving

young people and their Families another place of belonging and the

positives of this to young people, their development and the wider

community. John thanked all the Players, their Families, the Sponsors

including the Ladies Auxiliary. John praised the tireless work of

Geoff Thompson, who has been the Junior Secretary for the past

eight years along with various other roles before this for his efforts.

After lunch the Reserves and Senior vote count got underway. Joshua

Sullivan took out the Reserves Best and Fairest from Joe Tormey.

The Senior vote count saw Rhys Thompson win his second CFC

senior Best and Fairest in as many years. Rhys received the Barry

Cossar Medal for his efforts. He won the count on 51 votes from

Aaron Walklate on 49 votes. Aaron required eight votes to tie in the

final round or nine to win. He managed to secure two lots of three

votes to fall just short.

Best Club Person went to Kath Mulquiny for her tireless efforts

leading the team each week delivering countless meals on Thursday

and Saturday evenings plus other functions. Kath is a deserving and

popular winner of the award, always volunteering in the right spirit

with her friendly, welcoming demeanour.

Former Charlton Player and Brownlow Medallist Graham Teasdale

presented the Graham Teasdale Achievement Award to this years

winner, Kris Clifford. Kris was nominated for his efforts both on and

off the field, including taking Tuesday training, his work with the

Social Club and his willingness to work hard for the club on both

sides of the white line over many years.

Senior Coach Aaron Walklate presented the other Senior Awards. He

spoke very humbly and proudly of his playing group this year. Aaron

also announced to the crowd’s full approval that he has accepted

Charlton’s offer to re-sign again as coach for 2016.

CFC President Shane Fitzpatrick rounded out the day by thanking the

many people who work hard to ensure the Charlton FC is a

successful, positive community sporting group. Shane thanked his

committee, the players, volunteers, sponsors and especially his own

Family who have supported him in his role this year.

WWI—The Charlton Story: October 1915 WWI—The Charlton Story is a

monthly segment produced by the

Charlton Golden Grains Museum. It

draws primarily on reports and stories

from the East Charlton Tribune

detailing the impact of the war on the

Charlton community each month,

exactly 100 years ago.

ON THE HOME FRONT The rainfall total for September

would be the envy of our local farmers

today with almost 3 1/5 inches bringing

the yearly total to date to 15 3/4 inches.

This was already 6 inches more than the

whole of 1914.

The local ladies were busy getting

Xmas gifts ready to send to the troops.

Bootlaces, boracic powder, chocolates,

cocoa, cigarettes, cigars, handkerchiefs,

mittens, note paper, pencils, pen knives,

pipes, reels of linen thread with needles,

safety pins, socks, soap, tobacco,

trouser buttons and wire cutters were

the gifts of choice.

The 34th annual Charlton Show had

been a great success after having to be

rescheduled due to floods in September.

With all of the proceeds going to the

Red Cross and the Australian Sick and

Wounded Solders’ Fund, the day’s

takings of over £232 were a mighty

effort. The Show Night Concert was

also a terrific success with many being

turned away due to the large attendance.

A Glenloth Sports Carnival was

held in one of Messrs Mackie Bros river

paddocks. Horse racing and trotting

events were held throughout the

afternoon. Races included the Maiden

Hack, the Maiden Trot, the Gum Leaf

Handicap and finished with the Old

Buffers’ Horse Race limited to riders

above 50 years of age.

A Woosang Patriotic Picnic was

held on the Woosang Recreation

Reserve with students and parents from

the Nine Mile, Yeungroon East and

Richmond Plains Schools. The older

school boys played football and the

younger boys and girls were entertained

with races, swings and games.

OUR SOLDIERS Sick and Wounded

Several of Charlton’s young men

appeared on the casualty lists as sick in

October. Private H.S. Roberts of the 8th

Light Horse from Wooroonook East

along with Lance-Corporal B

Postlethwaite of Coonooer Bridge.

Private G. W. Howell of Barrakee and

Private S. S. Murphy were also listed as

ill.

Letter from the Front Corporal Lionel Pennefather who

was in hospital at Malta wrote to his

parents in Charlton: “I have seen accounts in the papers

written by different men, telling about the

landing of the A.I.F on the 25th April. So

I will give you a few of my experiences of that day and ensuing days. I will start

from the time we left Alexandria. We

embarked on a transport and anchored after a few days sail at ——-, a few hours

sale from the Peninsula. We were there for about three weeks when orders were

given to sail for the Dardanelles. We left

on the afternoon of Saturday 24th April and steamed slowly for Gallipoli

Peninsula. At about 2 a.m. we were served with a hot breakfast and everyone

was in excellent spirits. At dawn the

battleships bombarded the coast, which in the dim light looked to pierce the sky in

parts. The 3rd Brigade were fairly well on

shore before the 2nd started to disembark. By this time shells were bursting all

around and over us, but no one was hit on the transport. The battleships were

putting in broadsides, which were

deafening. A fort that was on a point was crumbled up to powder (the fort of Gaba

Tepe that was).

All of a sudden we heard a sharp burst of rifle fire on shore and everyone

started to cheer. We were quickly got into the ship’s boats and tugged ashore. I fell,

and went under. The weight of my

equipment and wet clothes made it absolutely impossible for me to move. I

tried all ways to wade ashore, and was

about to give up when an officer ran out and pulled me on shore. All the time

bullets were splashing in the water, and shrapnel was bursting everywhere. Three

men in the boat were wounded. A little

English middy was in charge of our boat, and sat up to his job like the man he was.

The beach was strewn with dead, but we had no time to notice, as we had to take

off our packs and start to climb the hills.

All the time snipers were picking men off, and shrapnel knocking a few. We reached

a ridge and got in touch with the Turks

and 3rd Brigade. The bullets were getting very thick here and you had to go

carefully. I felt anything but game. I wanted to sink underground at first, but

the feeling gradually wore off, and by the

time I had a few shots I felt as right as a bell.

The Turk sniper was the great pest, and had it not been for him we would

have fared much better. Our line kept on

the advance and drove the Turks miles inland, but the number of men we lost was

awful. Poor Jimmy Anderson was killed

about one hour after landing. Keith McIlwrath was killed in the boat when

landing. After we had driven the Turks right back, they closed round on either

side, and enfiladed us, pasting us with

shrapnel. We had to retire to the main ridge of hills and entrench under heavy

fire, and were continually being attacked

when were reinforced, and the Turks had no hope of moving us. Men were being

killed every minute of the day, but

somehow or other I have been spared up

to the present. I am too tired to write

more, and am not feeling well, and next letter will tell you about our charge at

Cape Helles. I saw Capt. Bean’s account of it in the “Herald” of June 11th but

don't think much of it.

In my last letter I told you I would tell you about our advance on Achi Baba, at the

southern point of the peninsula. Letters

have appeared in the papers of others giving their experiences, so there can be no

harm in me doing so.

17

October 2015

WWI—The Charlton Story: October 1915 Well, we were taken from the position

where we first landed (Gaba Tepe) in

torpedo boats and mine sweepers. We landed at Cape Helles and it was a

ticklish job landing. We drew in beside a

large transport that had been run ashore for protection. Just as we were walking

along the temporary bridge that had been

made for the troops to land, a shell fell within a few feet of it, followed by half a

dozen others in quick succession. We ran for it and eventually got well ashore

without any casualties. We marched

inland and made dug-outs for ourselves. After being there for a few days orders

were given to advance to the firing line. I was detailed to come on with the Indian

transport. On the way up with the Indians

we were shelled and had to retire and go by another route. Eventually we got up

with the brigade.

I went over to my battalion and reported, and started making a dugout for

myself, when orders again came to advance and take our picks and shovels

as well as our own full marching order.

We thought there was going to be “something doing”, and our surmise

proved to be only too true. Our battalions were lined up and told they were to

advance one battalion at a time. The 7th

were the second to move off. We had to go around the hill and then “straight

ahead”. Well we got round the hill, then

shrapnel got on to us, and I differ from Capt. Bean when he said it did practically

no damage. Fancy about 12 guns sending in shells as fast as they could load and

having a splendid range, and still do no damage. Anyway our section got a move

on. We went off at a double. We went

about 100 yards before a shell got us, and then bust and sent a few spinning, another

followed, it burst a little too high. A chap

and myself were knocked flat with the concussion. When I got up I could see the

section still advancing about 200 yards ahead and I made after them. My head

was swimming and my knees seemed as if

they could hardly bear my weight, and my stomach had a very light feeling. That is

exactly what I felt like. After falling about a dozen times in my endeavour to catch

the section, I had to give it up and join in

with another that was coming up behind. We got to the firing line, but had to

face a terrific fire of bullets that were

coming down for a few moments, then the word came for all Australians to advance.

The bullets were “planking” into the parapet and flying over it, nearly all

going off with a bang as they hit anything,

others exploding in the air. They were “dum dums”. Well we had to scramble

over the parapet and run as hard as we could towards the Turk's trenches. We got

about 600 yards, then had to stop and

entrench. I was in the second line that advanced, and I can tell you it was

“hell”. At almost every step you had to

dodge a dead or wounded man. Men were going down like ninepins, all around.

Bullets were whistling past my head but I reached there with a few others and

began digging. I had thrown away my pack earlier to the advance so was not

handicapped with it. I soon got head

cover, then I gradually sank down and down until I was safe. Then we started

digging towards one another, and so soon

had a trench going. By working all night we had a fairly decent trench by daylight.

I want to tell you about our Indian troops. The day after our landing at Gaba

Tepe, April 25th, an Indian battery came

ashore, running their guns (mountain guns) on to the tops of the hills and

started to bombard the Turks. The Indians had no cover, in fact had they dug pits,

etc, for position, it would have been too

late. So they just set their guns in the open and blazed away. For this very brave act I

think they won the day. The Turks’ guns

were instantly turned on them, and so relieved us, and enabled us to make

ourselves more secure. But what was the price for this bravery of the Indians? They

paid for it with their lives. Their guns hit

and gunners killed, and all I see in the papers is the gallant landing etc. of the

Australians, but what of the poor Indians who died that we might live.”

Corporal Pennefather was also

outspoken about the futility of some

battles. In the publication about the 7th

Battalion, “Our Dear Old Battalion” by

Ron Austin, Corporal Pennefather refers

to the Krithia battle in which his D

Company was engaged. “I was in a bunch of about eight as

we rounded the hill into the open to advance on the British line, when all hell

broke loose. Artillery, rifle and machine-gun fire got plenty of us. George Wills

next to me copped his. I dived for my

creek-bed and again reached the line—it’s doubtful if any of the others of the

group got half-way! It was just plain,

useless murder ordering us to attempt so foolhardy a stunt in day-light. The whole

affair made me sick and tired of everything connected with War as we

were conducting it.”
