Thank you to all the RSL members for their support, past and present, with 100 years of<br />

people volunteering to keep the sub branch open.<br />

Although it’s had ups and downs, we are still a strong sub branch.<br />

With some new members on the committee, they have been head down and hardworking,<br />

to bring new events, attract more members and organise more services, for you to enjoy.<br />

Recently some other ex-services organisations have worked with us and networked together<br />

to help a homeless veteran get accommodation and secure him a job. These new<br />

relationships are very rewarding and will prove to be successful in helping more veterans in<br />

the future.<br />

We were already working with the military brotherhood of our sub branch which is such a<br />

strong and fantastic relationship.<br />

Having these new organisations involved, helps us support more veterans, first line<br />

responders and their family with specific needs and through the networking, we will help<br />

each other.<br />

With all the members continual support, we are really moving in a positive and strong<br />

direction into 2020.<br />

Congratulations to Lynda and Peter being renominated as President and Treasurer respectively. I<br />

have worked closely with these two over the past year or so and I know the RSL is in good hands<br />

with them being in those positions. Also congratulations to AJ for stepping up and taking the helm<br />

of what can be a challenging position as Vice President. Thank you to Erro for the time he put in<br />

and remaining a part of the Committee. He recognised a lot of shortcomings within the RSL as VP<br />

when he took the position and took the time to institute processes and also make some needed<br />

changes.<br />

We have a new Committee and some people have stepped down for personal reasons, one stepped<br />

down and across and others have stepped up. As I said in the last <strong>Furphy</strong>, there’s no point whinging<br />

about things if you aren’t prepared to put in some effort yourself. Welcome to new Committee<br />

members Lucky Pete and Melissa Hanson.<br />

The Centenary Anniversary was held last weekend and went very well. Unfortunately, the Pipe<br />

Banner presentation didn’t go according to plan for Peter Mahoney, as the manufacturer accidentally<br />

sent our banner to Nebraska and we received Nebraska’s banner. The function was well attended<br />

by some of our fantastic supporters such as Matt Keogh and Tony Buti. Some former Presidents<br />

and Secretaries also attended the evening and everyone had a great night.<br />

Our next big event of course is Remembrance Day. We still are in need of volunteers prior to<br />

Remembrance Day to sell poppies and merchandise.<br />

Please put your name on a list that is on the notice board.<br />

In August I visited Melbourne and I wanted to visit a couple of the local RSLs while I was there.<br />

I met the President and Secretary of the RSL Victorian Branch on Spencer Street, Mike Moroney<br />

and Gill Coughlan. I presented them with an Armadale Bannerette which they were very happy to<br />

receive. Later in the week I was a long way from Melbourne CBD in Upper Yarra. A beautiful little<br />

RSL overlooking mountains out in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately there were no Committee<br />

Members present, but I did give them a bannerette.<br />

There will also be a second Happy Hour at the RSL from 3pm - 4pm on Thursdays starting<br />

Thursday 7 <strong>November</strong> <strong>2019</strong>.<br />

In addition Chase the Ace will start again on this day and will be held every Thursday at the RSL.<br />

The cards have been set in the display cabinet near the pool tables. You need to buy any drink<br />

from the bar between 4pm and 6pm on Thursday to receive a ticket. There is no limit to how<br />

many tickets you can receive, however the responsible service of alcohol still applies. The tickets<br />

will be given to you by bar staff. At 6.15pm, the tickets will be drawn and you must present the<br />

winning ticket. Tickets will continue to be drawn until a winning ticket is presented. That person<br />

will then choose one card from the deck and it will be turned over and left displayed by bar staff.<br />

The pot will begin at $250 and will jackpot $50 each week until the Ace is located. The rules of<br />

the promotion will be set out in the display cabinet for the duration of the game so please read<br />

them and be aware of how it will work.<br />

Good luck and thank you for supporting our RSL.<br />

Indigenous Australian War Service<br />

At the Centenary Celebration Joe Collard an Aboriginal Elder conducted a Welcome<br />

to Country at the RSL. He spoke about the lands of which the RSL sits upon, other<br />

lands around Perth and the people who inhabited those lands. Some may have the<br />

view this was not necessary so I thought it would be poignant to reflect on the history<br />

of Aboriginals who served within the Australian Imperial Forces and Australian<br />

Defence Force and also to clarify what a welcome to country and an<br />

acknowledgement of country is and means.<br />

During the Boer War, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders served as regular soldiers<br />

and then joined Light Horse Units as they had superior horsemanship. Aboriginal<br />

trackers were also sent to the War to work with South African Police.<br />

World War I, Indigenous Australians were not allowed to enlist. They lied about their<br />

identity and ancestry stating they were Maori or Indian and did not know their<br />

parents. They did this to fight alongside other men who wanted to fight for their<br />

country and the Commonwealth forces. In 1917 a new military order stated “Halfcastes<br />

may be enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force provided that the examining<br />

Medical Officers are satisfied that one of the parents is of European origin.”<br />

It is understood over 1000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders served in World War<br />

I including the landing at Gallipoli. They were treated as an equal in uniform,<br />

however, upon return to Australia they were subjected to the same discrimination<br />

and prejudice prior to service. This cannot be understated that men who were not<br />

recognised as men or humans in Australia, were willing to sacrifice themselves for a<br />

country who did not respect them. The right to vote for an Indigenous Australian was<br />

not passed until 1962.<br />

During World War II there was a growing fear Japan would invade Australia. Nearly<br />

1000 Torres Strait Islanders joined the war effort. They only received one third of the<br />

rate of pay of a regular soldier. They striked and their pay was increased to two<br />

thirds but this back pay was not received until the late 1980s.<br />

In 1945, after World War II ended, a War Service Land Settlement Agreement<br />

between the Commonwealth and states enabled returned service personnel access<br />

to land under soldier settlement schemes. Following the agreement, the states and<br />

the Commonwealth enacted soldier settlement legislation or amended existing<br />

legislation. Aboriginal personnel were not specifically excluded but the assessment<br />

procedures were prejudiced against them and many were rejected from the scheme.<br />

This was particularly cruel as the scheme offered lands that once belonged to<br />

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.<br />

6


So by allowing Joe Collard to conduct a Welcome to Country at our Centennial<br />

Celebrations, it acknowledged and recognised the Noongar people as the first<br />

Australians and traditional custodian of the land upon which the RSL sits and also<br />

goes some way to recognising a commitment and sacrifice Aboriginals and Torres<br />

Strait Island people made during our wars. Yes they fought under our flag, but they<br />

didn’t have to, in some cases they were not paid the same and they were not entitled<br />

to schemes which were afforded to other returned service people. For many years<br />

they were also not permitted to join or enter an RSL except for ANZAC Day.<br />

So when you hear these words before a service, “I’d like to begin by acknowledging<br />

the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet today. I would also like to pay<br />

my respects to Elders past and present” you will know the Armadale RSL is<br />

respecting the traditional custodians of the land and also recognising the sacrifice of<br />

Indigenous Australians who served and making efforts to reconcile wrongs of the<br />

past. It’s such a small thing to say but means so much to so many people.<br />

MILITARY HISTORY<br />

Remembrance Day: How Australia celebrated the<br />

first Armistice Day 100 years ago<br />

As gunfire ceased on the Western Front on the morning of <strong>November</strong> 11, 1918, Australia's<br />

first war correspondent Charles Bean observed "the gates to the future silently opened".<br />

The armistice which secured the end of World War I had been signed at dawn, marking the<br />

conclusion of a four-year conflict that had claimed more than 60,000 Australian lives. Confirmation<br />

would take several hours to reach Australia, where crowds were gathering in the streets at the first<br />

whispers of the news. In every town and city, people rejoiced at the end of 'the war to end all wars'<br />

— and the beginning of a new chapter in Australia's history.<br />

'Wild' antics in Sydney and Melbourne<br />

Sydney had celebrated the end of the war prematurely thanks to a false alarm on <strong>November</strong> 9.<br />

"There was big outpouring of emotion and excitement," said Ashley Ekins, head of military history<br />

at the Australian War Memorial. "And then again, just a couple of days later on the 11th, the news<br />

came that it was true.<br />

"It was a wild day. And when a public holiday was declared for the 14th of <strong>November</strong>,<br />

it meant that they actually got two.”<br />

Military figures addressed the crowd in Sydney from a replica sailing ship set up like a stage.<br />

14


"They kept the pubs and the liquor stores closed during that period, so things didn't really get out<br />

of hand."<br />

News of the signing of the armistice lead to wild celebrations in Sydney's Martin Place.<br />

It was a different story in Melbourne, where the exuberant crowds could not be contained.<br />

"The news was received and church bells began to ring out along with factory hooters," Mr Ekins<br />

said.<br />

"The crowds ran wildly out of control in the city. They derailed tram cars and crashed one through<br />

the front window of an office building”.<br />

"A lot of people [were] breaking into barricaded stores and stealing fireworks”. "There was even an<br />

appeal for people not to explode fireworks in the interests of invalided soldiers, and particularly<br />

those suffering shell shock."<br />

Theatre performances stopped in Adelaide<br />

In Adelaide, people had been gathered outside newspaper and post offices waiting for news since<br />

the early evening of <strong>November</strong> 11. Pauline Cockrill from the History Trust of South Australia said it<br />

was around 7:30pm when the first newspaper reported the fighting had stopped.<br />

"By 10:30 that night, the whole of Adelaide's streets were milling with people just waiting for the<br />

news to be announced," she said.<br />

"The premier gave an unofficial announcement outside Parliament House”.<br />

15


"As soon as the news came out they were singing patriotic songs, going up and down [the streets]<br />

with flags.<br />

There was a band that had been practising outside the railway station so they joined in as well."<br />

News of the armistice reached Adelaide around 10:30pm on <strong>November</strong> 11, where revellers<br />

celebrated on the corner of King William Street and North Terrace all night and into the next day.<br />

Cinema and theatre performances were stopped as the news broke. "There was just jubilation,"<br />

Ms Cockrill said.<br />

"Everyone was very excited and singing and dancing — just having a good time. They were<br />

relieved after over four years of war."<br />

The celebrations were followed by a public holiday on <strong>November</strong> 14 that included church services,<br />

victory parades and the sounding of The Last Post.<br />

News travelled down railway line<br />

Parties continued in rural towns as news of the armistice reached them from the cities.<br />

"The news went down to the post office or down the railway lines," Ms Cockrill said.<br />

"People had gone to bed but as soon as they heard the news they got out of bed and had these<br />

impromptu tin can bands — people just banging kerosene tins and walking up and down the<br />

streets singing patriotic songs."<br />

16


Spectators lined Flinders Street in Townsville for an Armistice Day procession.<br />

News took longer to reach some country areas. Crowds gathered in Mount Gambier's main street to<br />

hear the official announcement from their mayor on <strong>November</strong> 12.<br />

17


In Mount Gambier, the official announcement came on <strong>November</strong> 12.<br />

Local historian Graham Roulstone wrote in 2016, that a crowd had gathered in the main street on<br />

the evening of the 11th as rumours started to reach the regional city by bush telegram.<br />

"The mayor, Mr Renfrey … instructed the Town Hall bell to be rung but cautioned those gathered<br />

there to approach the news with caution, in case it turned out to be false," he wrote.<br />

"The crowd … began to disperse about 11:00pm, though others arrived later and so the town<br />

remained active until about 4:00am the following morning."<br />

At midday on <strong>November</strong> 12, Mayor Renfrey read a formal announcement to 4,000 people<br />

gathered in front of the Town Hall that the war had ended.<br />

School children in Canungra dressed in costumes of different countries for the town's Armistice<br />

Day procession. Its celebrations didn't take place until <strong>November</strong> 30.<br />

The rural town of Canungra, in south-east Queensland, did not hold its official celebrations until<br />

<strong>November</strong> 30.<br />

But impromptu celebrations started as soon as locals heard the news, according to Canungra<br />

resident Muriel Curtis who published a book on the district's history in 1975.<br />

"The news was telephoned to Canungra and such was the relief that people<br />

celebrated then and there," Ms Curtis wrote.<br />

"The mill hands stopped work and the whole head of steam was blown off by<br />

tying down the whistles, startling the countryside for miles around."<br />

18


Funeral for the Kaiser<br />

The rural Victorian town of Kaniva chose to delay their formal celebrations until 1919 when most of<br />

their troops had come home.<br />

Resident Bruce Meyer said the small community had been hit hard by the deaths of locals.<br />

"There are hardly any families that didn't have somebody that went overseas," he said.<br />

"I can look at four relatives that were killed in the First World War and that's pretty common.<br />

"Probably those 20-odd families that had people die in it, they still had to get themselves together."<br />

The celebrations in Kaniva included a mock funeral for Kaiser Wilhem II, who was blamed by many<br />

for World War I's beginning. The sign on the cart reads 'Off to bury Kaiser Bill'.<br />

On July 19, 1919, the town held a huge party which included the staging of a mock funeral for<br />

Kaiser Wilhelm II.<br />

The day was celebrated throughout the British empire as Peace Day, in recognition of the signing<br />

of the Treaty of Versailles that had officially ended the war the month before.<br />

Parties weren't the end of troubles<br />

The celebrations, no matter how joyful, could not make up for the devastating impact of the war,<br />

according to Ashley Ekins.<br />

19


Kempsey Hospital nurses in NSW celebrate Armistice Day in 1918. More than 3,000 Australian<br />

nurses volunteered for service in WWI.<br />

"The losses, of course, were extreme — 60,000 men that really couldn't be easily replaced," he<br />

said.<br />

"In many ways, Australia in the interim years was a nation in mourning."<br />

Still left to arrange was the huge task of bringing troops home — an exercise that would take<br />

nearly a year.<br />

Once home, they would be faced with the challenge of readjusting to civilian life.<br />

"The fact was these men came home, mostly, completely changed by the experience," Mr Ekins<br />

said.<br />

"They had been out of sight — never out of mind — on the other side of the world, fighting a war<br />

that was probably inconceivable to most Australians.<br />

"The people at home had never really known what those men had done."<br />

Rememberance Day Facts:<br />

Some of the 54 Commonwealth member states, such as Australia, Canada, the United<br />

Kingdom and Canada, observe the tradition of Remembrance Day on the eleventh hour of<br />

the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Other nations observe a solemn day but at different<br />

dates. For example, ANZAC Day is observed in New Zealand on April 25. In South Africa,<br />

Poppy Day is marked on the Sunday that falls closest to <strong>November</strong> 11.<br />

ONE hundred years after the last guns fell silent on the Western Front, all of the 416,809<br />

Australian Diggers who bore witness to the bloody carnage are gone.<br />

More than 62,000 — including 6255 West Australians — did not survive their service on the<br />

battlefields of Europe.<br />

Far more spent the remainder of their lives trying to forget. Sadly, some are now forgotten<br />

themselves. But many more never will be, their memories and legacies carried forward by<br />

a new generation of young West Australians who will fall silent at 11am Nov 11th to reflect<br />

on the selflessness and sacrifice of their Anzac ancestors.<br />

If you are interested in taking control of your health, the journey to maximise or rebuild your<br />

health begins with the gut. Building anything to last requires a solid base and a strong<br />

foundation. Health is no different; the solid base is gut ecology. Once a healthy gut is established,<br />

reclaiming health becomes a simpler task.<br />

Naturopath, Heath Daly will discuss the role that the gut linings play in health and how to fix a<br />

compromised gut barrier with herbs, functional foods, nutraceuticals and lifestyle interventions.<br />
