President's Report

 

The Annual General Meeting and Dinner was conducted in early September at the United Service Club and it was well supported by attending members.  Pictures from the evening are displayed in this newsletter.  Some of the reports presented during the evening are attached to this newsletter.  A topic of discussion at the AGM was what members saw as “the Future” of the Association.  A short paper was emailed to all members and was published in the August newsletter explaining some of the perceived issues facing the Association into the future. The consensus of the members at the meeting resolved that the Association would slightly shift its focus in the foreseeable future. However it would strengthen its resolve to attract more members to Association, especially the graduation classes from RMC. The presentation by Richard Palk on the Battlefields of Flanders was fascinating. Richard was able to speak of his experiences with the celebrations of the Australian commitment in WW1, whilst he was serving with the Department of Foreign Affairs. It was truly pleasing to hear how the residents of the area still honour our fallen soldiers.The annual Christmas reunion for the members of QURA was held on Wednesday 9 December 2015 at the Gaythorne RSL Club. It was well attended. The Club’s quiet atmosphere and pleasant surroundings made it ideal for members to sit and chat over old times. A Christmas special on the sale of joining the Club for life membership ($1 for Life) was very popular for members.

The Association provided some finger foods, and all who attended really enjoyed the chance to once again meet with friends from the Regimental times. This venue was so good it will definitely be a venue of choice in the future. The Association is continuing the work on the upgrading of the recorded history of the Regiment.  It is a huge task.  All photographs and documents not published in the previous written history are still being electronically recorded and sorted into groups of the time period of the Commanding Officer.  It has been decided that the new history document will not be published in book form but will be available on CD.  Now is the time to assist us produce a complete history.  We are still looking for photos and documents for any period of the Regimental history.  Whilst recording the modern era we will add all items of any historical interest.  We will welcome short stories written by members reflecting on their time in the Regiment.  It can simply be a short few sentences.  To protect the innocent you do not have to have your name attached to the contributions.  We are just very keen to get views and stories from the past.  Please contact me on mobile 0437 442 964 if you can assist us with any items for our history.  We will be grateful to receive any photos or documents and will return them to you following the scanning process.  I will arrange for a pickup of photos and documents should you make them available to us.  I emphasise that we are interested in items from any time since the birth of the Regiment.  I look forward to having a huge problem with the storage of so many historical items. This year I asked members to send to me short comments about any topic at all. I published in the August newsletter stimulus topics for members to comment on. All members have to do is react to a topic and send me their comments. Names will not be added to the comment. The collection of comments, when added together, make up a potted history. PLEASE send to me any comments you have of times, places and “events” from your QUR military life.

Once again we intend to try to contact members who have not replied to our emails for sometime, just to ensure that we have their correct email address. Additionally we will be attempting to contact members for whom we do not have any email address. If you at any time meet with any of your old mates from QUR, ask them whether they are members of the Association. If  not, give them my email address, or you send their contact details to me at President.  The more contacts we get the stronger our Association will become.It is with great sadness that I have to report that Peter Morton has informed us that he will not be able to continue to perform some of the work that he has been doing for the Association over the many years. Behind the whizzes and flash bangs to keep the Association going with the membership records, the email communications, the newsletter and the website a lot of work is completed. Over the years Peter has done a tremendous amount of work to make our Association’s communications and electronic presentation up to the excellent standard that it is. He has spent many hours writing computer programmes to completely automate some of the tasks involved for the management of the Association. Peter has given a lot to the Association. Peter has decided that it is time to take a break and will now focus his attention to his next project, the Volunteer Marine Rescue Service. Peter’s excellent work given to the Association was recognised by the Association by the awarding of Life membership several years ago. Peter’s position in the management committee will be hard to replace. On behalf of the Association I extend to Peter sincerest thanks to Peter and wish him all the best in his new ventures. Thanks for all hard work. The website and the quality of the newsletters is a tribute to your skill and dedication. THANKS PETER! Obviously any communication with the Association using email should not be directed to Peter’s old email address. Please direct all email correspondence to President.

I would extend to the Commanding Officer and all ranks of the Regiment thanks for their support to the Association during the year. The Association does what it can to further the interests of the Regiment and we greatly appreciate the work that the Regiment does to support us. o all members I wish you the best for the forthcoming festive season. I wish you safe travel and all the happiness of family and friends getting together during this time.

Captain Bumble's Letter

 

At the 2015 QURA AGM/Dinner, committee member Garry Collins recited a poem "Captain Bumble's Letter". The poem is reproduced here for those members that could not attend.

 

Don’t talk about Sebastopol,

The Russian War is flat now.

Just listen to despatches

Just come from Ballarat now.

Our noble Governor, Sir Charles,

And where is there a better,

Has permitted us to publish

Captain Bumble’s private letter.

 

He writes thus to His Excellency,

‘Myself and Major Stiggins

Got our brave fellows all equipped

And started for the diggins.

Our band struck up God Save the Queen,

Into cheers our men were bursting,

And every gallant soldier was

For glorious action thirsting.

 

‘Our first attack was on two drays

Which we saw in the distance,

But the enemy surrendered

After just a slight resistance.

We were disappointed in our search

Of these two wretched traitors,

For instead of seizing powder

They were loaded with potatoes.

 

‘We marched but were obliged to halt

On behalf of Sergeant Trunnions,

Who was unable to proceed

On account of having bunions.

We stationed pickets all around

To give us timely warning

And there we bivouacked and slept

Till nine the following morning.

 

‘At length into the diggins,

Footsore our men did tramp there,

And we took up our position

Within the Gov’ment camp there;

Provisions were served out to all

And my very soul it tickles

To contemplate their ravages

On the cold boiled beef and pickles.

 

‘We watched at night, but all was still:

For glory we were yearning,

And we fired upon a tent in which

A candle was seen burning.

We killed a woman and a child

Though ‘twas not our intention;

But that slight mistakes occur

Of course I needn’t mention.

 

‘At length in earnest was the strife:

While buried in their slumbers,

We made a bold and desperate charge

And cut them down in numbers.

Our gallant fellows fought like bricks,

The rebels were defeated,

And then by hundreds off they ran

And to the bush retreated.

 

‘Thus all is quiet and I now

Subscribe myself your humble

Devoted servant of the Crown,

Frederick Augustus Bumble.

 

Postscript –

Pray send us up some good cheroots

And anything that’s handy

And by all means, pray don’t forget

We’re nearly out of brandy.’

QURA Membership Secretary/Newsletter

 

Due to the resignation of Peter Morton, QURA is looking for someone to take over the duties of Membership Secretary and to produce the quarterly newsletter.  The position requires some computer knowledge (windows) to maintain the QURA Membership database as well as send emails to members.  These functions are contained within the software developed for QURA and require the use of a windows based computer.  Peter will install the required software and give training to anyone interested in taking up this position.  The newsletter is currently being produced use an old Frontpage program from microsoft and we are looking for someone to keep this going or revamp our website to bring it up to current standards.

 

If you are interested in either of these positions in QURA, please contact Trevor Luttrell via email at President.

Hi Peter,

 

As per previous email unfortunately I cannot attend.

 

I'll be sorry to miss Dick Palk's presentation.

 

Please pass on my best wishes and regards to Dick. Indeed, he has had an illustrious and interesting career! 

 

He was the Platoon Commander of the QUR recruits way back in January 1977 when I attended Recruit Course at 1 TRG GP at Wacol and he was a great inspiration to us, the "know-nothing raw recruits".

 

Kind regards,

Subject: Not Attending QURA AGM/Dinner

 

Hi Peter,

I will NOT be attending the 2015 QURA AGM/Dinner.

 

Age is starting to weary me and late nights are not for me now. However, I do get my OBE in a couple of months and I can still “get  on my bike” as I hope to ride 80km on that birthday – which is just about 6 weeks after I do the 103km from Southbank to Southport in the Bicycle Qld charity ride.  Maybe my brain has gone already??

 

Please present my apologies to the meeting – sounds like it will be a very interesting talk.



Cheers
David SALLOWS

Changi civilian internment digitisation project

 

Thought a few might be interested..

 

https://specialcollections.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=11086

 

The Royal Commonwealth Society Collection is delighted to announce that work has begun on its project to conserve and digitize the archives of two Second World War civilian internment camps on Singapore, generously funded by a Research Resources Award from the Wellcome Trust. At the conclusion of the project in Aug. 2017, the records of the Changi and Sime Road Camps will be made freely available via the Cambridge Digital Library. They will be of immense interest to the families of internees, academic researchers, students and the general public, since few survivors ever spoke of their traumatic ordeal.  The first stage of the project involves the meticulous conservation of the archive, and my colleagues from the Conservation Department, Emma Nichols and Mary French, will shortly be posting about their work.

On October 1, 1940, Private Jack Bernard and other volunteers in The British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught’s Own Rifles) were marching smartly down Eighth Street in New Westminster to board a ship and sail off to war. Suddenly, Bernard’s five-year-old son broke free of his mother’s grasp and sprinted into the military formation to take his smiling father’s hand. In that instant, an alert Vancouver Daily Province photographer, Claude Dettloff, snapped the shutter. Soon, his unforgettable image of little Warren “Whitey” Bernard was being printed by leading publications throughout North America. It was later used in Canada’s war bond drives with the plea, “help bring my Daddy home.” Jack Bernard survived the war and was reunited with his son in 1945.
