16806	The date of birth on the AIF enlistment document of John Leake STRICKLAND (1922-1997) is clearly stated as being 9 Feb 1920. He therefore put his age up by two years for the purpose of enlistment. His parents married on 16 Feb 1921, so the arrival of a son about 12 months later makes reasonable sense.	STRICKLAND John Leake (I13896)
16807	The date of Charles WALTER's birth remains something of a mystery. Almost all available sources say that he was born on 30 Sep 1787. I do not know the source of this date but would like to know where it is sourced. He was baptised on 30 Dec 1787 and that date seems reasonable if he was born on 30 Sep of the same year. His recently revealed headstone image reveals that he died on 8 Oct 1859 aged 73 years and 3 months. If his headstone age is correct then he was born between 9 Jun 1786 and 8 Jul 1786 which would mean he was born in late June 1786. Added to this mystery is the fact that his parents William WALTER (1757-1827) and Ann BRIMACOMBE (c. 1766-1837) were married at Bradworthy on 9 Apr 1787, long after June 1786 and not too far short of 30 Sep 1787. It should also be said that in England during some periods it was quite common for some couples to marry after or not long before the birth of their first child. Forced to make a guess as to the real answer, I would say that following his death, the family put an incorrect age on his headstone so causing 20th. and 21st. century family historians much head scratching! Unfortunately, we will probably never know the truth!	WALTER Charles (I2917)

16810	The Family Home 'Wyuna' at 105 High Street, Belmont was the family home of Frederick Forbes HERD and Alice Rose HERD (m.n. SUMNER). 'Wyuna' is believed to be Aboriginal in origin meaning 'Clear water'. "Wyuna" was built by and originally owned by Emil Theodore SICHLAU who was a Geelong financier and commission agent. His origins were probably Danish and it is believed that he had something to do with the early Geelong chicken industry. ____ My most vivid memory of 'Wyuna' is the huge gilt-framed mirror in the front room which in this day and age would be worth a very tidy sum. It is believed that this mirror was in the house when Frederick Forbes HERD purchased the property. ____ It is also believed that the ownership of 'Wyuna' was transferred to Frederick Forbes HERD's youngest brother Francis Oswald HERD in the early 1950s, probably in relation to the settlement of a debt. Frederick Forbes and Francis Oswald had been in partnership in a cattle dealing business up until about that time. At about this time, Francis Oswald HERD founded the wholesale butchery business of M.C. Herd in the name of his wife Maud Cecilia HERD (m.n. LAMB). The home was demolished in the 1950s and eventually made way for the current Chinese restaurant.	HERD Frederick Forbes (I1789)

16815	The general concensus is that Johann(es) Gustave NITSCHKE was born on 15 Jun 1875. However, some recent more creative searching of the SA Birth indexes reveals a birth on 15 Jun 1873 in the name of Johannes Gustav NITZSCHKE, the son of Gottlieb Johann NITZSCHKE and Caroline BARTELS.

16816	The German Spring Offensive opened on 21 March, 1918. As part of the battle to turn this very dangerous offensive around, the 2nd. Battalion, Devonshire Regiment, was tasked with the defence of Bois des Buttes, north-east of Soissons. In doing so, the battalion was awarded the French Croix de Guerre for its gallant defence of Bois des Buttes on 27 May, 1918, the first day of the Third Battle of the Aisne. So Frederick Thomas WESTAWAY must have died in this gallant defence for which the unit was honoured with a very prestigious award. Lest We Forget.	WESTAWAY Frederick Thomas (I16249)

16821	The Horsham Times, 7 Feb 1905 SOCIAL A marriage of more than passing interest was celebrated on the 1st. inst. at "Fernleigh" (writes our Noradjuha correspondent) Noradjuha, the residence of the bride's uncles, Messrs. Symons Bros. The contracting parties were Mr. Fred Walter, fifth son of Mr. A.W. Walter, J.P., of "Oakleigh", and Eva, eldest daughter of Mr. Geo. Hill, of Noradjuha. Both families have for many years been settled in the Noradjuha district, each being well known and highly respected amongst a wide circle of friends. The bridegroom, by his abilities and willingness to assist in all matters of local interest, has proved himself a most useful and valuable member of the community; and as his marriage means departure, he will be very much missed. The local Methodist Church, of which he has been secretary and choir leader for a number of years, will especially miss his help. Of the bride, it is a high tribute to say that she has inherited the qualities of her highly respected parents; and as a most estimable young lady, .... a position she is well qualified to occupy. The Rev. W. Davey performed the ceremony, and the bridegroom was attended by Mr. S. Walter and Mr. L. Hill. The bride was handsomely gowned in creme crepe de chine bodice with tucked chiffon yoke and insertion with goffered chiffon frill; full sleeves, with lace cuff and frill of goffered chiffon falling from the elbow, finished with silk belt. The skirt shirred at the waist with deep tucked frill and insertion, court train, and usual wreath and veil, and handsome shower bouquet. The bridesmaids were Miss Lily Hill and Miss Phenie Walter. The former was frocked in a tussore silk trimmed with insertion and medallions, and brown velvet belt. The latter wore a cream taffeta skirt and Japanese silk blouse, with lace and frills as trimming, and black velvet streamers. They carried bouquets of pink and white roses and asparagus fern. The brides going away dress was a French grey cashmere, prettily made with yoke of white lace, and net frill edged with insertion, bodice finished with black ribbon velvet streamers; black picture hat. The bride was the recipient of many valuable and useful presents, including number of cheques. After the wedding breakfast, at which the usual toasts were proposed and honoured, the newly - married pair left for Horsham, en route for Adelaide, where the honeymoon is to be spent. Mr. and Mrs. Walter have been asked by their friends to spend a couple of days at Noradjuha on their return, after which they will proceed to their future home at Heathfield in the Casterton district.

16822	The information below is © Find a Grave https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=56106429 and Tracey Anne. Lisle White was the oldest child of Albert and Bell White. He was named after his grandfather, Ernest Lisle Christie, who was a merchant during the early history of the city of Brandon, Manitoba. Lisle White grew up in Regina Saskatchewan where his father worked in a branch of Christie's School Supplies. He attended Trinity College School in Port Hope Ontario, and then Campion College in Regina. Lisle and his sister were well-known figure skaters as they grew up in Regina. At the time of his enlistment in the Regina Rifles, Lisle was working for TransCanada Airlines. He was a commissioned officer with active service early in the war and as an instructor in Calgary. His last posting overseas came in August 1943. The Regina Rifles, including Lisle, landed at Juno beach on D-Day. After securing the beachhead in France, Lisle's unit continued to sweep through Normandy. The Rifles were ordered to capture Ardennes Abbey in the early hours of the full assault on the German stronghold of Caen. The Abbey was headquarters to the 12th SS Panzer Regiment. The assault started on July 8 1944 and casualties soon mounted. Captain White was one of the 36 men of the Regina Rifles killed.	WHITE William Lisle Christie (I18191)
16823	The initial burial was at Kohn Khan Camp but following the end of hostilities the Army Graves Service arranged that all burials were re-interred at Thanbyuzayat War Cemetery in Southern Burma (now Myamar). The cemetery is now maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to which Australia continues to contribute.	WALTER Milton Ward (I8666)
16824	The late Richard Allen [sic] who died last Summer, left his widow with a charge of nine small children, three of whom (boys) are deaf and dumb; two of these boys were placed by Mr. Allin before his death, with a person fully competent to instruct the deaf and dumb, - as the progress the boys have made while under his tuition fully proves, - but the circumstance of the Widow are such, that without the aid of a Benevolent and Christian public, their education must be discontinued. (the sum requisite being 40 pounds a year) and consequently the unfortunate children must grow up in worse than heathen darkneys. - We therefore whose names are here unto subscribed, do express our sympathy for these unfortunates by the donations affixed to our respective names, to enable Mrs. Allin to continue them under their instructor, at least until they can read the Bible, which under the blessing of God may constitute them useful members of Society and Christians.

16827	The military action (the battle of Fromelles) in which Private Herbert James JEWELL (1891-1916) died was one that is still extremely controversial even after the passing of a century. It was a battle which was planned and executed in great haste and with a mind-numbing level of stupidity on behalf of the British High Command. More Australians died in this battle in a single day than any battle in our history. Fleurbaix is an adjacent village very close to Fromelles.	JEWELL Herbert James (I10666)

16859	The parents of Thomas BROMELL were John BROMELL and Sarah CARPENTER. ____ Extract from "Hamilton: A Western District History" by Donald Garden, p. 107 "North of Hamilton, towards the Wannon, a newcomer to the district produced one of the most remarkable examples of evasion of the Selection Acts. Thomas Bromell (1832-1887) [sic] came to Victoria in 1853 and soon after took up a farm near Geelong. The source of his capital is not known, but in 1860 he moved to Hamilton where he selected land on Skene. He added to this in the next few years, by selection and by purchase from selectors, various blocks from the Kanawalla, Skene and Mockanger runs until he had accumulated 14000 acres known as Hensley Park. Bromell's rapid emergence as a man of property and influence in the district was reflected by his election to the Shire Council, of which he was President in 1874, and to the Legislative Council in the same year." ____ The source of capital for Thomas BROMELL referred to above is believed to be from three sources. Firstly, he was successful at the Ballarat diggings during the year he spent there (late 1853 to late 1854) leaving just prior to the Eureka Stockade uprising. He moved on to the Avoca diggings where he was once again successful. Thirdly, on his return to Geelong, he set himself up as a cartage contracter which in that period when money was very easy to acquire was a very lucrative occupation, particularly when many fellow selectors needed to move into the western district of Victoria. ____	BROMELL Thomas, MLC (I3310)

At the time of this accident 358 Squadron, RAF was based at Jashore (Jessore) in India operating as a special duties squadron. Jashore (Jessore) is now located in Bangladesh but was still in India during WWII. Walter George BOND is remembered on the walls of the Singapore Memorial at Kranji, Singapore. Lest We Forget.

16872	The West Wimmera Mail and Natimuk and Goroke Advertiser, 23 Jul 1915 Obituary Mr. A.W. WALTER The hand of time has removed from the district one of its oldest and most highly respected pioneers in the person of Mr. Ambrose Wilcox Walter. Not only as a pioneer was the late Mr. Walter respected, but as one to whom all in the district could go for advice at all times. This district has lost a friend and champion, in one who fought for the interest of the Wimmera in the early days of settlement. All honor to the heart that is still. The late Mr. A.W. Walters was born in Devonshire, England, on the 11th. April 1833. He came out to Victoria in the 'Marchioness of Londonderry' in 1853 with his uncle, his parents following a few years later. For a time he worked on the Barrabool Hills, Geelong. A little later he, like many others, tried his fortune on the goldfields, but met with little success [?]. He could relate in detail many incidents of the Ballarat riot. On one occasion, when he and his mates were returning to their camp, they found that two of their party had been bound and robbed of their belongings by Melville, the bushranger. Not being successful on the goldfields, he returned to the Geelong district, with his youngest brother, starting a butchering business on the Barrabool Hills. This venture proved very successful. In 1862 Mr. Walter sold his interest in the business to his brother, and entered into farming pursuits. It was in the same year that he married Mary Ann Smale, the only daughter [?] of Mr. Thos. Smale, of Barrabool Hills. He continued to work the farm for 11 years. Being now anxious to secure more land, and make provision for a family that was growing, he was attracted to the Wimmera. He selected land about the year 1872, and shifted the family, which consisted of his wife and five sons, in the beginning of 1874. From that time up to the time of his death he practically lived on the land which he first selected. For about four years he lived in the Casterton district, where he had purchased a property, but returned again to the Wimmera and continued to work his property for a number of years. About seven years ago he decided to retire from active life, and settled in Geelong, having leased his property to two of his sons, but was a regular visitor to the Noradjuha district, with which he kept in close touch. Mr. Walter took a keen interest in all public matters. In the Geelong district he occupied the position of councillor in the Barrabool Shire, and very soon after his arrival in the Wimmera he was elected as one of the councillors to the Wimmera Shire. From that time until his retirement seven years ago he held important positions in the Wimmera and Arapiles Shire Councils, and also the Western Wimmera Irrigation and Water Supply Trust, his term as a representative of various municipalities extending over 41 years. He continued to be a member of the Western Wimmera Trust right up to the time of its abolition in 1908, and his photograph appears in the group that was taken when the functions of that body were handed over to the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission. Amongst his colleagues at the time who have since gone the way of the flesh were Messrs. John Bushby and John Cunningham, both of whom were prominently identified with the fortunes of the Wimmera Shire Council. Mr. Walter saw, and participated in, the fight between selector and squatter. Writing in the Horsham "Times" of November 20, 1914, Mrs. M. Bodey mentions this phase of early life. "Time" she wrote, "evens up all things, and the people who are enjoying prosperous times now are apt to forget that they owe much to those who first blazed the track. No doubt the squatters who saw that which through long use they regarded as their own wrested from them, felt rather injured, and while some bowed with good grace to the inevitable, others displayed their resentment in a childish fashion. For example, when Mr. Matthew Bodey, the first selector to be elected as a councillor of the Wimmera Shire took his seat at the Council table, the two squatters remaining on the Council resigned their seats rather than sit with a selector. One of the vacancies thus created was filled by another selector, Mr. Ambrose Walter of Noradjuha." The deceased also assisted in most local institutions, the Horsham A and P Society, Mechanics Institute, the Noradjuha Cemetery Trust, and the Noradjuha to Horsham Railway League all received his support. In connection with the last named he spared neither time nor trouble, and was one of a deputation from Noradjuha and Natimuk that got the final promise from the Minister of Railways that the line would be constructed, his colleagues on that occasion being Messrs. A.E. Beard, J. Kuse, and James Keyte (representing Natimuk), and A. Sinclair, H. Kruger, and himself (representing Noradjuha). Many years ago he was appointed a justice of the peace, which position he held to the time of his death. He was an ardent supporter of the Methodist Church, and held the position of trustee to the Bible Christian Church at Horsham before the union took place. He was also a trustee of the church at Noradjuha and at the annual conference often represented the Noradjuha circuit. His hospitality was well known. His home was always open to any minister, irrespective of denomination, and in the early days the services of the Bible Christian Church were conducted in his house until, in later years, the State school was utilised as a place of worship. His remains were taken from the old home "Oakleigh Park" on Friday July 16th., and laid at rest in the Noradjuha cemetery. The cortege was followed by a fairly large number of representatives from all parts of the district. The Rev. E.E. Shakell of Noradjuha, conducted the burial service. The seven sons of the late Mr. Walter acted as pallbearers namely, Albert, Thomas, Ellis, Ambrose, Frederick, Sydney and Norman. In addition to the widow whose three daughters - Mrs. H.M. Fowler, Mrs. G. Nitschke, and Mrs. L.W. Cranage. A sister of the deceased, Mrs. Bromell widow of the late Hon. T. Bromell, of Hensley Park, Hamilton, survives him.	WALTER Ambrose Willcock, JP (I1)
