The Rotary Club of Charlton are
proud sponsors of the Charlton
Community Newsletter.
OH MY GOD, I finally got a newsletter out in time,
WHOOP WHOOP.
September was a bit more quiet of a month for me. We
have been having a lot of fun with the new addition of
the family. Peppa is so cute and we love having her
around.
October is going to be busy and fun. We are going
camping late in October for a few nights, for anyone
that knows be well I’m not the best camper in the world
so its going to be a little bit of a challenge, hehe.
Tyler is heading off on school camp this week.
How quiet is our house going to be? Have fun mate :-)
This months newsletter has lots of up and coming
events to read up about. There is so much on in
October, next months newsletter will be a big one I’m
sure.
We have the winners of the Football & Hockey Club
vote counts, congratulations to all.
A huge thanks to all those who have provided me with
Footy, Hockey & Netball news over the past few
month, its very much appreciate and I look forward to
working with you again next year.
The front cover this month is actually the front cover of
the Charlton show schedule. This was designed by
Emma Finlay, great job Emma.
I hope you are all getting organized for the show. Going
buy the front cover it is sure to be one of the best yet.
Now I’m going to talk about Christmas so don’t freak
out.
The Christmas edition of the newsletter always comes
out in the middle of the month so if you have any events
that fall in the first 2 weeks of December it would be a
good idea to send them in for the November edition.
AHHHHHH Christmas. So not ready to be thinking
about that.
Hope you all have a great month
Take care.

Ric and Michelle Brodrick leading educators from Geelong will speak at the AWD
meeting at The East Charlton Hotel at 8 pm on Monday October 26.
Ric originally from Melbourne and Michelle from St Arnaud are currently teaching
at St Joseph's College Geelong where Ric is the Director of students and Michelle the
Deputy Principal.
Both of them have an interest in social justice issues and community service and have
been instrumental in developing a number of initiatives over the years. Of most
significance was the Blacktracks program developed by Michelle that immersed Year
9 students into a remote Aboriginal community South east of Alice Springs. With a
particular focus on women's business and issues affecting young Aboriginal children
the program gained a lot of attention and Michelle was awarded Victorian Secondary
Teacher of the Year in 2005.
Ric's also been fortunate to develop a significant relationship with a remote
community in Southern Uganda and has led five trips there with Year 12 students and
staff to work with schools in a small village still recovering from the ravages of war,
poverty and AIDS, but emanating a strong sense of resilience and hope for a future
filled with promise.
This is a great opportunity to learn from the rich experience of Ric and Michelle's
work and travel. So come along and be inspired and entertained. They're both great
speakers.
If you wish to join the group for a meal at 6.30 pm RSVP to Jo Russell by
October 23.

As we emerge from the depths of winter, the Charlton Open Gardens
Day on Sunday 11 October will provide just the right amount of
motivation to shake off the “cold weather blues” and get out and
enjoy the beauty of local spring gardens.
While most of us have been hibernating, five Charlton families,
individuals and organisations have been hard at work preparing a
showcase of gardening styles for this, the third annual Open Garden
event, run by the North Central Garden Club.
Club Secretary, Sue Walsh said the Open Garden Day will offer
something for everyone with a variety of garden themes, along with
stalls at the Registration Centre at the Charlton Seniors Club Rooms
in High Street.
“Passionate gardeners and those with a passing interest will be
inspired by what others have done” said Sue. “We really appreciate
the contribution of those who have made their gardens available, and
like other years, they will have the opportunity to explain to visitors
how their creations evolved.”
This year’s event includes the Stephanie Alexander Garden at the
North Central Trade Training Centre, along with court yard, rustic,
resort and cottage styled gardens in and around Charlton.
“We encourage people to come along and find out more about each of
these unique gardens, and maybe pick up some ideas for your own
garden.”
“It’s thanks to our many sponsors that we are able to present this
event for the local and wider communities, as well as drawing people
from further afield,” said Sue.
“Our thanks in particular go to Acciona Berrimal Wind Farms, along
with the Charlton Community Bank, North West Ag, House To
Home, Country Savers, One Passing Moment and the Buloke Shire.”
Sue said the Open Gardens Day has brought many people to Charlton
over the previous two years and offers great potential to boost the
local tourism opportunities.
With the Charlton Rotary Art Show also taking place from 9-12
October, it’s definitely worth
making a visit to take in the two
Spring events.
The Charlton Open Gardens
Day runs from 11am - 5pm on
Sunday 11 October.
Entry is $15 which includes
access to all gardens, plus
afternoon tea at the registration
hub at the Charlton Seniors
Club Rooms at 1 High Street.
Plant stalls, preserves, and a
range of “gardenalia” products
will be also be available on the
day.
So no excuses! Dust off the sun
hat, put on the “sunnies” and
check out the beauty and
blossoms of Spring!

The distinctive chopper noise of the HEMS 3 (Helicopter
Emergency Medical Service) arrival at the Charlton Campus of
East Wimmera Health Service (EWHS) recently alerted the
township to the “visitor” dropping into town.
While there was no emergency unfolding, the Bendigo based
HEMS 3 was on a mission to check that facilities at the
Charlton Campus helipad were all in order before signing off
on its usability.
Entry and exit from the helipad, especially regarding tree
clearances, was one of many details being assessed, along with
the pad inspection, visibility from the air, the area surrounding
the helipad, and the Pilot Activated Lighting (PAL).
On hand to greet the air crew and paramedics were CEO of
EWHS Kathy Huett, Campaspe Group Manager of Ambulance
Victoria (AV) Kerry Strachan, EWHS Campus Manager,
Dallas Coghill and Charlton AV Station Officer, Harry
Brindley.
Discussions between all parties ensued as the team met with
representatives and administrators, passing on observations and
detailing any fine-tuning which may be required.
The capabilities of the HEMS fleet are eye-opening when
viewing the confined interior of the craft with its
multitude of lifesaving equipment strategically placed
for easy access.
Predominantly a “one-patient” transfer, the ability to
take a second patient can be facilitated, but only under
certain circumstances. In an already limited working
space, a second patient places even greater demands on
the paramedics.
HEMS also carries blood supplies which can be vital in
establishing an immediate treatment regime in an
emergency situation.
From 1 January 2016 the entire Victorian HEMS fleet
will be replaced with custom built Augusta Westland
AW 139 twin engine helicopters, capable of travelling
longer distances on less refuelling. The new craft are
designed for dealing with emergency medical demands
and will be larger, faster and quieter than the current
aircraft.
Local health care representatives are pictured with the HEMS 3 helicopter at the
EWHS Charlton Campus during the reconnaissance of the new helipad last Monday
– (l-r) Harry Brindley (AV Charlton Station Officer), Kathy Huett (CEO EWHS),

(Campaspe Group Manger AV) and Murray Barkmeyer (Team Manager HEMS 3

Impressed with the functioning of the new helipad, HEMS 3 lifts off from the Charlton
Campus.

During August the Traveller’s Rest toilets were a hive of activity
for a different reason. Although they had served Charlton well for
many years, the toilets were in need of a refresh so they could
remain one of the Calder Highways best rest stops. Thanks to a
generous grant from the Bendigo Bank ($7295), donations from
the Charlton Lions Club ($5300), Skeeta Grimshaw ($2000) and
Charlton Forum ($800), plus $4000 from the Traveller’s Rest
Committee, the work undertaken included the installation of new
vanities, tiling the walls and painting the bricks. The Traveller’s
Rest Committee are to be congratulated on their continuing
efforts to improve the Traveller’s Rest facility.

On the weekend of 13th-15th November, Charlton Lions Club are
hosting the 2015 District Convention at our Rex Theatre, with the
Lions Lodge and Shire Hall also being venues for various functions
during the weekend.
Charlton Lions recognised by hosting a District Convention it was
one way we as a community could thank Lions Clubs from far and
wide for all the financial, actual in-kind and physical assistance given
by so many to help communities like Charlton recover from the
devastating floods of 2011.
Lions plan to showcase Charlton during the weekend, encouraging
visitors to wander through the business precinct, include a drive or
leisurely walk around town to appreciate the on-going development of
community assets. Within a short stroll is the new hospital complex,
encompassing the ultra-modern ambulance station and emergency
helicopter landing-pad. Take in advancements of Travellers Rest and
Gordon Park sporting the recently commissioned Skate Park, plus
serenity of the Avoca River Walking Track. Not to be forgotten is the
new trade teaching facilities at Charlton P-12 College.
Charlton Lions Club are also extending an open invitation for
everyone to attend the Opening Ceremony within the Rex Theatre on
Friday evening, 13th November. Commencing at 7.30pm, Year 10
students of Charlton P-12 College will carry forth and present all the
national flags of countries where Lions Clubs International are truly
active. Former Charltonian, Derek Guille (of ABC radio fame) will
be Guest Speaker. A grand evening finale is Derek joining the local
Ukulele group on stage to entertain all in the auditorium.
Saturday’s agenda continues at the Rex, with a mixture of Lions
business and speakers raising either topical issues or talking on
humanitarian needs. An evening Dinner Dance at the Shire Hall will
conclude the day-long activities.
On Sunday morning at 9am a Remembrance Ceremony will be held,
when all Lions and Lions partners who have passed away during the
previous 12-months will be remembered. Later in the morning, as
guest speaker John Harley will deliver the story of Charlton Driver
Education Centre. A BBQ lunch at Rotary Park will conclude the
weekend, bidding farewell to all guests and conventioneers.

fifty. Now this fabulous music is revived for our enjoyment right

Flea and a plethora of more modern tunes including the theme
music from Pink Panther, Rawhide and Doctor Who. It's uplifting,
danceable music from musicians bursting with talent.
While they maintain a traditional approach to the Tijuana sound
they also bring some of the latest and greatest hits into their
repertoire. It's exciting and nostalgic with so many recognisable
tunes - a wonderful night's entertainment that's suitable for all
ages.
The Cafe Culture Shows are presented by Just Shows to Go and
sponsored by Arts Victoria and the Victorian State Government.

No longer an activity discouraged in the classroom,
making and flying paper planes is now both a science and
a sport, and has recently been catapulted into prominence
thanks to the Australian movie of the same name “Paper
Planes”.
And as a special end-of-term treat, P- 6 students from the
Charlton P12 College and St.Joseph’s Primary School took
to the Rex Theatre on the last day of term to see the movie
and test their own aerodynamic creations with a “fly-off”
from the upstairs balcony.
A double dose of inspiration came not just from the movie,
but from having received plane-making tuition from the
man who inspired this feel-good story, Dylan Parker.
A plane making fanatic since a young age and a dedicated
and successful competitor in the sport, Parker was
diagnosed with a brain tumour just after his 21st birthday in
2009. Despite an initially dire prognosis, the eventual
outcome was far less
devastating, and through his ordeal the passion for plane
making is what kept him upbeat.
While the development of the movie alludes to Dylan
Parker, it is not a story about his life. Director Robert
Connelly says the movie captures Parker and his friend
James Norton’s passion and enthusiasm for the simple art
of paper plane making. While both are Australian
champions in the sport, it was their experiences attending
the world championships in Austria which helped to
inspire the movie.
For the Charlton P12 College students the chance to be
mentored by the best proved to be an exciting experience
as well.
Co-ordinator, Carolyn Olive said that students were taught
the fundamentals of flight, along with being shown how to
make the various models.
“There were paper planes just everywhere” said Carolyn,
“and the students have kept on making them and trialling
them since the workshop mid last term. It was thanks to
the support from the parents group and the school which
enabled students to have this great opportunity.”
There was a palpable air of excitement at the Rex as
students were organised into age groups and readied to
throw their planes from the balcony. With the stage
curtain and screen raised, the incentive was there to try and
hit the back of the stage wall!
On the count of “3” a flurry of planes cascaded into the
auditorium.
Eventual winners were Cooper Boyle (P-3 Furthest
Throw), Jordan Start (4-6 Furthest Throw), Poppy
Fitzpatrick (P-3 Best Decorated Plane) and Bree King (4-6
Best Decorated Plane).
On behalf of both schools P12 College teacher, Mrs.
Stanley thanked Carolyn Olive for her organisation, along
with all at the Rex for having the opportunity of taking
part in this unique event.
An exciting way to wind up the winter school term and
begin holidays which will no doubt include more paper
plane fun!
A cascade of paper planes flew over the auditorium of the Rex during the
“throw-off”.
There were gasps of amazement as Jordan Start (l) and Cooper Boyle’s (r) planes
soared across the auditorium at the Rex. Each won their respective age groups in the
“Furthest Throw” category, receiving a DVD of the movie as a prize.
Ready for “take-off”! St. Joseph’s Primary School students are primed and ready to test
their craft following the school screening of the Australian movie “Paper Planes” at the
Rex last Friday. Pictured (l-r) are Angus Soulsby, Nick Thompson, Ned Zagame, Tahi
Roberts and Chelsy Good.

The parent committee and staff at the Charlton & District
Preschool are grateful for a very generous recent donation of
$3,000.00 from the Sketa Grimshaw Tourers Motorcycle Club.
President Rachel Lloyd said “we were all overwhelmed and
extremely thankful for the money. The Kinder has a small
group of just nine students this year and as a committee it is our
responsibility to pay for any shortfall required to run the
centre.” Rachel went on to say the Kinder committee have a
plan in place to fund raise as much of the deficit as possible
and some money in the bank from previous years of fund
raising; however, it’s a large sum of money to raise for any
group, let alone a small group of only nine families.
The Sketa Grimshaw Tourers Motorcycle Club hold the
Redback Rally annually near Charlton, which hosts up to 1000
motorcycle enthusiasts from across Victoria and interstate.
Treasurer of the Motorcycle Club, Tracy Dalrymple said “the
club members put a lot of work into the rally, and it’s nice to be
able to share some of the financial benefits with local
community groups.”
The Kinder plans to put some of the money towards replacing
two small water tanks for the benefit of this year’s children’s
learning and enjoyment, and the children in years to come.
Pictured is Sketa Grimshaw Tourers Motorcycle Club Treasurer, Tracy Dalrymple

The weather is now warming up fast and while the paddocks are lovely and green we are all aware that this is not going to last for long
with gardens drying out already. It is time to check out the summer wardrobe, and find the straw hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. We
had 48 present with 16 apologies (hoping our sickies are well again soon)
Anne Kenny this year’s Footy Tipping organiser added some humor to this segment with a few funnies and was pleased to announce
the most winners for the month were picked by Pam Rosewall.
Beth Curnow had a lovely selection of Jokes, stories and a poem focussed on Fathers and Grandfathers and the “Good Old Days” some
quite moving with a number of tears to be seen around the room. This was followed by a trading table that proved quite successful
thanks to those who participated.
Our guest speaker was Jenny Cossar from East Wimmera Health Services she spoke on the delicate subject of (Advance Care
Planning) some things to do in preparation for future needs which help reduce the stress for all involved Client, family and loved ones
when the time comes to make decisions. The issues include, Palliative Care, supported Care, Advocacy and even Organ Donation to be
considered. The need, for such discussions have been brought to the attention of
Carers and Authorities as it is not only the elderly who can find themselves in need
for pre planning but younger people in Care due to severe injury in Car and
Workplace accidents where some idea of what they value and wish to put into place is
important. The highlighted issues give Carers being family, treating practitioners, and
Community service providers a clear indication of what you want for yourselves. It
would also include any religious and cultural matters that you value and are important
to you. While it is important to put in place a Power Of Attorney the choices only
come into play when you cannot speak and act for yourself. Ideally such a document
would be kept by family, power of Attorney, Doctor, and Clinic you attend, thanks
Jenny. Our Club has another trip this time to Avoca with a number of very interesting
places to visit, we fill you in on what took place in the next edition.

On Saturday 5th September after a gruelling
game played by their women's team, Charlton
Hockey Club held it's annual vote count. The
night saw many characters by the likes of flower
children, Austin Powers, and 'mod' women walk
through the door in accordance with the theme
of 'The Sixties', which was set to further
celebrate the club's 50 year anniversary.
President of the club Kylie Fitzpatrick opened
the night, mentioning some of the achievements
that members have had this year in hockey, as
well as congratulating the league representatives
Leanne Gretgrix, Julie Bourke, Gillian Gretgrix
and Kellie Madge.
Votes for Underage were then read out by coach
Julie Bourke, who announced Best and Fairest
Male Henry Bourke on 67 votes, and Best and
Fairest Female Xanthe Fitzpatrick on 38 votes.
Henry and Xanthe were also two of three elected
captains of Underage for the year, displaying
sportsmanship and leading their team to some
commendable wins in the season. Julie then
awarded her Most Determined to half-back Nicholas Olive,
Most Reliable to up and coming junior player Angus
Jablonka and her Coaches award to Jazzmin Phillips, a first
year player. Best in Finals was awarded to Henry Bourke
after the team's game in the first finals vs. Donald.
Women's was next with Coaches Leanne Gretgrix and Deb
Hobbs taking the stage to announce the votes. Zoe Allcock
was awarded the Best and Fairest on 60 votes with Tessa
Fitzpatrick Runners Up Best and Fairest on 41 votes. Most
Determined was awarded to Danielle Lang after her
admirable return to hockey after an injury last season, while

Coach Tristan James was up next to
announce the men's votes. Henry Bourke was
victorious yet again in securing himself
another Best and Fairest win with Darcy
Lambert in second place. Coaches award
went to Mathew Thompson, a younger player
who had to rise to the challenge of playing
senior hockey. Most Reliable went to one of
the most versatile players on the team Ping
Ong and Most Determined to Brendan
Bourke, a first year goalie who never gave it
anything but his all.
President Kylie Fitzpatrick took the stand
again to announce Julie Bourke as Club
Person of the year for all of her work and
commitment to the club. Alongside Julie was
Kellie Madge who was awarded the Charlton
Massage Clinic award "Most Conscientious" for her tireless work as
treasure of both the league and club.
Charlton Hockey Club's first life membership in over 10 years was
awarded to Leanne Gretgrix for her impressive 22 year commitment
to the club in which time she has held many roles including secretary
and president of the club, coach of mixed, underage, women's and
men's, President of the league and many more. Leanne's achievement
is not one to be taken lightly as she now joins a team of just four
other life members.
All recipients of awards on the night should be congratulated for
their efforts in the season alongside the Club and League Committee
who have worked tirelessly to help keep the club running and as
successful as it is.

The Charlton Football Club held their 2015 Vote Count and
Presentation Day on Sunday the 20th of September. The day was
attended by many players, families and supporters of the club. The
CFC Juniors held their count and Presentations first up in the day
before everyone enjoyed a bbq lunch with salads and sweets provided
by the players and their Families.
Cobi Fitzpatrick won the under 13’s Best and Fairest with Patrick
Sait runner up while the Under 16’s Best and Fairest award was taken
out by Nathaniel Holmes Brown with Jack Thompson next in the
voting. Junior President John Cossar gave a brilliant speech about the
importance of Junior sport and its many benefits including giving
young people and their Families another place of belonging and the
positives of this to young people, their development and the wider
community. John thanked all the Players, their Families, the Sponsors
including the Ladies Auxiliary. John praised the tireless work of
Geoff Thompson, who has been the Junior Secretary for the past
eight years along with various other roles before this for his efforts.
After lunch the Reserves and Senior vote count got underway. Joshua
Sullivan took out the Reserves Best and Fairest from Joe Tormey.
The Senior vote count saw Rhys Thompson win his second CFC
senior Best and Fairest in as many years. Rhys received the Barry
Cossar Medal for his efforts. He won the count on 51 votes from
Aaron Walklate on 49 votes. Aaron required eight votes to tie in the
final round or nine to win. He managed to secure two lots of three
votes to fall just short.
Best Club Person went to Kath Mulquiny for her tireless efforts
leading the team each week delivering countless meals on Thursday
and Saturday evenings plus other functions. Kath is a deserving and
popular winner of the award, always volunteering in the right spirit
with her friendly, welcoming demeanour.
Former Charlton Player and Brownlow Medallist Graham Teasdale
presented the Graham Teasdale Achievement Award to this years
winner, Kris Clifford. Kris was nominated for his efforts both on and
off the field, including taking Tuesday training, his work with the
Social Club and his willingness to work hard for the club on both
sides of the white line over many years.
Senior Coach Aaron Walklate presented the other Senior Awards. He
spoke very humbly and proudly of his playing group this year. Aaron
also announced to the crowd’s full approval that he has accepted
Charlton’s offer to re-sign again as coach for 2016.
CFC President Shane Fitzpatrick rounded out the day by thanking the
many people who work hard to ensure the Charlton FC is a
successful, positive community sporting group. Shane thanked his

WWI—The Charlton Story: October 1915 WWI—The Charlton Story is a
monthly segment produced by the
Charlton Golden Grains Museum. It
draws primarily on reports and stories
from the East Charlton Tribune
detailing the impact of the war on the
Charlton community each month,
exactly 100 years ago.
ON THE HOME FRONT The rainfall total for September
would be the envy of our local farmers
today with almost 3 1/5 inches bringing
the yearly total to date to 15 3/4 inches.
This was already 6 inches more than the
whole of 1914.
The local ladies were busy getting
Xmas gifts ready to send to the troops.
Bootlaces, boracic powder, chocolates,
cocoa, cigarettes, cigars, handkerchiefs,
mittens, note paper, pencils, pen knives,
pipes, reels of linen thread with needles,
safety pins, socks, soap, tobacco,
trouser buttons and wire cutters were
the gifts of choice.
The 34th annual Charlton Show had
been a great success after having to be
rescheduled due to floods in September.
With all of the proceeds going to the
Red Cross and the Australian Sick and
Wounded Solders’ Fund, the day’s
takings of over £232 were a mighty
effort. The Show Night Concert was
also a terrific success with many being
turned away due to the large attendance.
A Glenloth Sports Carnival was
held in one of Messrs Mackie Bros river
paddocks. Horse racing and trotting
events were held throughout the
afternoon. Races included the Maiden
Hack, the Maiden Trot, the Gum Leaf
Handicap and finished with the Old
Buffers’ Horse Race limited to riders
above 50 years of age.
A Woosang Patriotic Picnic was
held on the Woosang Recreation
Reserve with students and parents from
the Nine Mile, Yeungroon East and
Richmond Plains Schools. The older
school boys played football and the
younger boys and girls were entertained
with races, swings and games.
OUR SOLDIERS Sick and Wounded
Several of Charlton’s young men
appeared on the casualty lists as sick in
October. Private H.S. Roberts of the 8th
Light Horse from Wooroonook East
along with Lance-Corporal B
Postlethwaite of Coonooer Bridge.
Private G. W. Howell of Barrakee and
Private S. S. Murphy were also listed as
ill.
Letter from the Front Corporal Lionel Pennefather who
was in hospital at Malta wrote to his
parents in Charlton: “I have seen accounts in the papers
written by different men, telling about the
landing of the A.I.F on the 25th April. So
I will give you a few of my experiences of that day and ensuing days. I will start
from the time we left Alexandria. We
embarked on a transport and anchored after a few days sail at ——-, a few hours
sale from the Peninsula. We were there for about three weeks when orders were
given to sail for the Dardanelles. We left
on the afternoon of Saturday 24th April and steamed slowly for Gallipoli
Peninsula. At about 2 a.m. we were served with a hot breakfast and everyone
was in excellent spirits. At dawn the
battleships bombarded the coast, which in the dim light looked to pierce the sky in
parts. The 3rd Brigade were fairly well on
shore before the 2nd started to disembark. By this time shells were bursting all
around and over us, but no one was hit on the transport. The battleships were
putting in broadsides, which were
deafening. A fort that was on a point was crumbled up to powder (the fort of Gaba
Tepe that was).
All of a sudden we heard a sharp burst of rifle fire on shore and everyone
started to cheer. We were quickly got into the ship’s boats and tugged ashore. I fell,
and went under. The weight of my
equipment and wet clothes made it absolutely impossible for me to move. I
tried all ways to wade ashore, and was
about to give up when an officer ran out and pulled me on shore. All the time
bullets were splashing in the water, and shrapnel was bursting everywhere. Three
men in the boat were wounded. A little
English middy was in charge of our boat, and sat up to his job like the man he was.
The beach was strewn with dead, but we had no time to notice, as we had to take
off our packs and start to climb the hills.
All the time snipers were picking men off, and shrapnel knocking a few. We reached
a ridge and got in touch with the Turks
and 3rd Brigade. The bullets were getting very thick here and you had to go
carefully. I felt anything but game. I wanted to sink underground at first, but
the feeling gradually wore off, and by the
time I had a few shots I felt as right as a bell.
The Turk sniper was the great pest, and had it not been for him we would
have fared much better. Our line kept on
the advance and drove the Turks miles inland, but the number of men we lost was
awful. Poor Jimmy Anderson was killed
about one hour after landing. Keith McIlwrath was killed in the boat when
landing. After we had driven the Turks right back, they closed round on either
side, and enfiladed us, pasting us with
shrapnel. We had to retire to the main ridge of hills and entrench under heavy
fire, and were continually being attacked
when were reinforced, and the Turks had no hope of moving us. Men were being
killed every minute of the day, but
somehow or other I have been spared up
to the present. I am too tired to write
more, and am not feeling well, and next letter will tell you about our charge at
Cape Helles. I saw Capt. Bean’s account of it in the “Herald” of June 11th but
don't think much of it.
In my last letter I told you I would tell you about our advance on Achi Baba, at the
southern point of the peninsula. Letters
have appeared in the papers of others giving their experiences, so there can be no
harm in me doing so.

October 2015
WWI—The Charlton Story: October 1915 Well, we were taken from the position
where we first landed (Gaba Tepe) in
torpedo boats and mine sweepers. We landed at Cape Helles and it was a
ticklish job landing. We drew in beside a
large transport that had been run ashore for protection. Just as we were walking
along the temporary bridge that had been
made for the troops to land, a shell fell within a few feet of it, followed by half a
dozen others in quick succession. We ran for it and eventually got well ashore
without any casualties. We marched
inland and made dug-outs for ourselves. After being there for a few days orders
were given to advance to the firing line. I was detailed to come on with the Indian
transport. On the way up with the Indians
we were shelled and had to retire and go by another route. Eventually we got up
with the brigade.
I went over to my battalion and reported, and started making a dugout for
myself, when orders again came to advance and take our picks and shovels
as well as our own full marching order.
We thought there was going to be “something doing”, and our surmise
proved to be only too true. Our battalions were lined up and told they were to
advance one battalion at a time. The 7th
were the second to move off. We had to go around the hill and then “straight
ahead”. Well we got round the hill, then
shrapnel got on to us, and I differ from Capt. Bean when he said it did practically
no damage. Fancy about 12 guns sending in shells as fast as they could load and
having a splendid range, and still do no damage. Anyway our section got a move
on. We went off at a double. We went
about 100 yards before a shell got us, and then bust and sent a few spinning, another
followed, it burst a little too high. A chap
and myself were knocked flat with the concussion. When I got up I could see the
section still advancing about 200 yards ahead and I made after them. My head
was swimming and my knees seemed as if
they could hardly bear my weight, and my stomach had a very light feeling. That is
exactly what I felt like. After falling about a dozen times in my endeavour to catch
the section, I had to give it up and join in
with another that was coming up behind. We got to the firing line, but had to
face a terrific fire of bullets that were
coming down for a few moments, then the word came for all Australians to advance.
The bullets were “planking” into the parapet and flying over it, nearly all
going off with a bang as they hit anything,
others exploding in the air. They were “dum dums”. Well we had to scramble
over the parapet and run as hard as we could towards the Turk's trenches. We got
about 600 yards, then had to stop and
entrench. I was in the second line that advanced, and I can tell you it was
“hell”. At almost every step you had to
dodge a dead or wounded man. Men were going down like ninepins, all around.
Bullets were whistling past my head but I reached there with a few others and
began digging. I had thrown away my pack earlier to the advance so was not
handicapped with it. I soon got head
cover, then I gradually sank down and down until I was safe. Then we started
digging towards one another, and so soon
had a trench going. By working all night we had a fairly decent trench by daylight.
I want to tell you about our Indian troops. The day after our landing at Gaba
Tepe, April 25th, an Indian battery came
ashore, running their guns (mountain guns) on to the tops of the hills and
started to bombard the Turks. The Indians had no cover, in fact had they dug pits,
etc, for position, it would have been too
late. So they just set their guns in the open and blazed away. For this very brave act I
think they won the day. The Turks’ guns
were instantly turned on them, and so relieved us, and enabled us to make
ourselves more secure. But what was the price for this bravery of the Indians? They
paid for it with their lives. Their guns hit
and gunners killed, and all I see in the papers is the gallant landing etc. of the
Australians, but what of the poor Indians who died that we might live.”
Corporal Pennefather was also
outspoken about the futility of some
battles. In the publication about the 7th
Battalion, “Our Dear Old Battalion” by
Ron Austin, Corporal Pennefather refers
to the Krithia battle in which his D
Company was engaged. “I was in a bunch of about eight as
we rounded the hill into the open to advance on the British line, when all hell
broke loose. Artillery, rifle and machine-gun fire got plenty of us. George Wills
next to me copped his. I dived for my
creek-bed and again reached the line—it’s doubtful if any of the others of the
group got half-way! It was just plain,
useless murder ordering us to attempt so foolhardy a stunt in day-light. The whole
affair made me sick and tired of everything connected with War as we
were conducting it.”
