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 />

CITY OF ARMADALE EVENT - Gut Health: The Key to Wellness<br />
It is impossible to feel good with a compromised gut ecology.<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 />
