18977 | The Dambusters This famous operation officially named Operation Chastise was mounted on the night of 16/17 May, 1943 by 617 Squadron (a hand-picked squadron of Bomber Command in the Royal Air Force. 133 aircrew in 19 Avro Lancaster Mk. III aircraft loaded with the ingenious bouncing 4100 kg bombs designed by Barnes Wallis, departed RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire in the evening of 16 May,1943 to attack the Möhne, Eder and Sorpe dams in Germany. Successful attacks were made on the Möhne and Eder dams but the Sorpe dam sustained only minor damage. A secondary target of the Ennepe dam did not occur as the pilot mistakenly attacked the nearby Bever dam. The return to RAF Scampton was not without incident as two aircraft failed to return including 'A' for Apple on which Flying Officer Vincent Sanford MacCAUSLAND was the bomb aimer. He and the other six members of his crew are buried in the Bergen General Cemetery, Bergen. North Holland, NL 8 aircraft did not return to RAF Scampton meaning that 53 airmen were deceased and 3 captured. Lest We Forget | MACCAUSLAND Vincent Sanford (I45571)

18978 | 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)
|
18979 | 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)

18982 | The Family Home 'Wyuna' at 105 High Street, Belmont was the family home of Frederick Forbes HERD (1872-1944) and Alice Rose HERD (m.n. SUMNER, 1881-1954). 'Wyuna' is believed to be Aboriginal in origin meaning 'Clear water'. "Wyuna" was built by and originally owned by Emil Theodor SICHLAU (1844-1910) who was a Geelong financier and insurance agent who was born in the Norwegian capital Oslo. ____ 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 (1882-1951) before 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)

18988 | 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. | NITSCHKE Johannes Gustav (I502)

18989 | 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)

18994 | 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. | Family F168

18995 | 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)

18998 | 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. | ALLIN Richard (I5686)

19001 | 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)

19033 | The parents of Thomas BROMELL were John BROMELL (1797-aft. 1871) of Sutcombe DEV and Sarah CARPENTER (1801-1878). ____ 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)

19036 | The RAF B-24 Liberator bomber (Code No. EW124) on which he was a crewman disappeared on a mission in Myanmar (Burma). The crash site was located with considerable difficulty by a British Army patrol after WWII had ended. The patrol only located the remains of four crewmen who they buried on site. Very little of the crewmen or the aircraft was recognisable. The crew are still to this day officially listed as missing in action. 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.
