Message from the President

Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all members and their families a healthy and prosperous

2010.

It  was  planned that  on  the  5th March  2010  we  would  be  conducting  another  successful  gathering  at  the

Australian  War  Memorial  to

commemorate the  laying  of  the  plaque.

This ceremony is only offered to a few,

thus we must have impressed the AWM

with  our excellent  turn  out  and  service

last year.  But alas we are unable to hold

this  function  for  reasons beyond  the

Association’s  control.  Presently, the

Plaque  has  not  been  laid  in  the  ground

along  with  a  number of  other  Plaques.

The AWM is  still  to  lay  new  paths  for

these  plaques.  Thus,  through

consultation  between  ourselves  and  the

AWM we  have  postponed  this  Service

until  March  2011. Let’s see  if  we  can

out do 2009.

There  are  still  four events  listed  on  the

Association’s  calendar  for  the

remainder of the year:

Ashfield RSL Sub Branch Anzac Day Sunday, 18th April 2010

Anzac Day March, Sunday 25th April 2010

Annual General Meeting, Friday 5th November 2010

Ashfield  RSL  Sub  Branch  Remembrance  Day  Sunday  7th November

2010.

ANZAC Celebrations:

Ashfield RSL Sub-Branch Anzac Sunday Commemoration (April 18)

The  Association  has  been  cordially  invited  by  Ashfield RSL Sub  Branch  to  participate  again  this

year in the ANZAC Sunday Memorial Service and March.

Anzac Day March Saturday 25th April 2009.

As  per  last  year,  the  Association  will  again  march  with  the Corps along  side  12 Company  in  the

Anzac Day March. Accordingly, the Form Up Point (FUP) will be on the corner of Phillip Street and

Bent Street (Southwest side); members should be at the “FUP” by 1030Hrs. Again this year because

of my commitment to the NSW Branch of the RSL, I will not be leading our contingent; my place

will be taken by our Vice President, John Walsh and our Secretary, Gary Smith. (See further details

below).

Kevin Connelly.

COMING EVENTS

ANZAC Day Sunday 18th April 2010.

As previously conveyed to members, the Association has been and still is closely affiliated with the Ashfield

RSL Sub Branch. This year the Sub Branch is holding its Anzac Day Sunday service at the Ashfield Park,

Parramatta Road Ashfield at 0930hrs. At the conclusion of the service, those members of the Sub Branch, the

Association and the community are invited to march back to the club, distance 1.8 Kms, where refreshments

will be served.

The Sub Branch is providing a bus to take participants in the service from the Ashfield RSL Club, Liverpool

Road, Ashfield to the park. The first bus will leave the club at 0800hrs with the last departing at 0900hrs.

For those association members who are unable to march because of a disability, you can still take part in the

parade by travelling in the bus, which will bring up the rear. The RSL Sub-Branch has been able to obtain 5

jeeps for the march back to the club for any of the WW2 diggers who would like to participate in the march.

These vehicles will be in front of the bus.

Suggested  dress  is,  navy  blue  jacket,  grey  trousers,  beret  and  for  those  who  have  them, RAASC /RACT

Corps tie.

Your committee would like to see as many members as possible attend this activity and show support to the

Sub Branch, which is continually giving their support to our Association.

ANZAC DAY Sunday 25th April 2010.

Association members are again  invited to participate in this  year’s  Anzac Day March. Form up is  in  Bent

Street  between  O’Connell  and  Phillip  Streets,  (members  will  need  to  keep  an  eye  out  for  our  Association

Banner and the RACT Association Banner) anytime after 1000hrs. As we are marching with the Corps this

year and due to the depletion of Ex W.W.II members it is anticipated that we will cross the start point on or

before 1030hrs.

At the conclusion of the march, a reunion will be held at the Shark Hotel in Liverpool Street, where other

Corps associations meet and share a few old stories and a number of ales.

As for last years march, Public Transport (Government Buses and trains) is free for participants in this year’s

march, providing you are wearing beret/medals. Train travel covers areas from Scone in the north, to Moss

Vale in the southwest, to Lithgow in the west and to Nowra in the south.

Members, who would normally use private bus companies, will need to check if free travel is available with

that particular bus company. In previous years the travel has been free.

Suggested dress is, navy blue jacket, grey trousers, and beret and for those who have them, RAASC/RACT

Corps tie.

Your committee would like to see as many members as possible support this activity.

JUNE NEWSLETTER


Message from the President

Firstly, welcome to this Newsletter, which has two letters enclosed or attached depending on receipt of this
communiqu€. These letters are the result of an Extra Ordinary meeting held at the end of May.
The first letter is to members from the Secretary stating the decision of the meeting not to participate in this
years Reserve Forces Day Parade and the other is the letter sent by myself, as President, informing the 
Chairman of the Reserve Forces Day Council Sir Laurance Street AC KCMG QC of our decision.
Background information that led to the decision not to participate in the 2009 Reserve Forces Day
Activity
.

In August/September 2008 the Reserve Forces Day Council (RFDC) at its pre information night for the 2009 
activity, advised the Associations present that due to a complaint from the Catholic Church about the noise 
created by the RFD’s March disrupting their morning services, that no march would take place in 2009. 
However, the RFDC activity for 2009 would be a parade in the Domain, with Standards, but No Banners.
When this matter was brought to the attention of our members who attended the Association’s AGM in 
November 2008, it was resolved that the President of the Association write to Cardinal Pell for clarification 
if in fact the Catholic Church did complain about the noise created by the RFDC March on the first Sunday 
in July.

As indicated on our web page in the response from the Catholic Church, no such complaint was made by the 
Cardinal or the senior level of Administrators of the Church. One of our members, Imre (Jim) Kalandy also 
wrote to Cardinal Pell and received the same response. 
When I attended the AGM of the RFDC the above was put to the Deputy Chairman, Arthur (John) Moore 
(who was already in possession of my correspondence to and from the Cardinal) who claimed and was 
supported by the RFDC’s Secretary that it was a verbal complaint from a manager who dealt with the Church 
Choir who raised the noise issue which subsequently led to the cancellation of the annual march. 
Notwithstanding that I questioned at length as to why no written conformation was made to the Senior 
Management of the Catholic Church and the decision not to hold a march should be reversed, I was informed 
that the RFDC had made its decision that a Parade in the Domain would be the activity for 2009.

In early April there was a final briefing on the RFDC’s activity for 2009 whereby the Associations present 
were informed that Association Banners would now be permitted on the Parade, but relegated to the 
perimeter and “hold ground”. Also, Association would march onto the parade behind their Standards, not 
their Banners, and would be in Seniority of Service (Navy, Army & Air Force) with the Army in formation 
groups (2 Div, 5 & 8 Brigades), not Corps formations.

Because of the circumstances surrounding the cancellation of the annual march and the Association not 
being permitted to march behind its Banner or in Corps formation with 12 Tpt Coy as in previous years, it 
was decided to hold an Extra Ordinary Meeting (EOM) of the Association on 22nd May 2009 to decide if in 
fact our Association would participate in the RFDC’s 2009 activity.

Prior to the EOM I was informed by a reliable source that the story about the complaint from the Catholic 
Church, and using this person’s words, was a “red herring” and the real reason for the cancellation of the 
March was that both Federal and State Governments stop funding the RFDC activities. (RFDC couldn’t 
afford Port-a-loos, barricades and other costs associated with running this event)

All the above information was tabled at the EOM, whereby, each member in attendance was given the 
opportunity to speak. Following lengthily discussion, it was resolved unanimously that the Association NOT 
PARTICIPATE in the RFDC’s activity for 2009, the Chairman of the RFDC is informed formally and the 
reunion still takes place as normal.

I have been informed that there are a number of Associations not participating in this year’s RFDC activity, 
both Army and Air Force. Reasons given along similar lines to that above.

Secondly, following our successful “Plaque Dedication Ceremony” in Canberra last March, it was suggested 
by the Australian War Memorial that we may wish to hold a re-blessing ceremony at the plaque in 12 months 
to the day. An application was forwarded to the Australian War Memorial and last week we received approval. Thus, I now ask members to set aside Friday 5
th March 2010, for this ceremony, and then followed 
by wreath laying service at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier along with a get together after the formal proceedings.

Finally, also at the end of May we also lost one of our long standing members and supporters of the 
Association COL. William Charles John Hill MBE OAM ED, the Association passes on our sincere 
condolences to all of John’s family and friends. John’s funeral was attended by our Patron
COL. Michael
Miller, who also arranged for a Piper from the Corps Band to be in attendance.

Kevin Connelly.

Colonel William Charles John Hill MBE OAM ED

John Hill was born on 4 March 1913 at St. Margaret’s Hospital in Sydney to James William and Mary Hill who were both then 30 years of age. He was their only child John died on 18 May 2009 aged 96.

In his youth John lived in the then poor suburb of Glebe and was very fortunate to be a foundation member of 3rd Glebe Scout Troop formed on 27 February 1926 just as he was about to turn 13. His interest in Scouting remained with him for the rest of his life.

One of the most significant things that happened to him as a young man from a low income family was that in 1929 at the age of 16 thanks to assistance from the Federal Government and fundraising activities by his local Scout Troop he was able to attend the World Scout Jamboree in England. This trip had a marked effect on John’s life from then on. When he returned from The Jamboree in England he commenced working for the Scouts Association of New South Wales and worked for them till 1934. John’s contribution to Scouting was recognised in 1954 when the Queen personally appointed John a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) at Government House in Sydney.

From 1934 till 1941 John worked as an Accountant for the Electric Light and Power Corporation. In 1941 at the age of 28 he married Marie McLean at St Martha’s Catholic Church Strathfield. The marriage was a very happy one until unfortunately Marie died of cancer in 1989. Whilst they did not have any children themselves they were always interested in hearing from their many friends about their children.

In 2002 remembering how he had been helped by others back in 1929 to attend the Jamboree in England John Hill established the John & Marie Hill World Scout Jamboree Fund. The fund will be managed by the Public Trustee of New South Wales and will become active now that John has died.

Every 4 years a World Scout Jamboree is held in different countries and the Scout Association New South Wales will now appoint a committee to select up to 10 Scouts/Venturers (15/17 age group) resident in New South Wales to be part of the Australian contingent attending the Jamboree. The Trust fund will used to fund virtually all costs for the selected young people to attend the Jamboree. Strict rules as to who is eligible to receive assistance are set out in the Trust deed and applicants will normally come from low income groups with particular consideration being given to applicants from rural areas and for applicants with a disability. It is envisaged that as funds will only be drawn from the Trust every 4 years the Trust could last for at least 40 years.

During the 1930’s and early 1940’s (before he went away to the war) John was a Rover Scout and spent nearly every weekend at the Baden Powell Scout Training Centre at Pennant Hills in Sydney. He was actively involved with the running of this establishment and over the years developed many fond memories of this establishment.

In early 2002 John was advised that the Scouts Australia New South Wales Branch desperately needed to build a new Training Centre at the camp site at Pennant Hills. John immediately agreed to pay for the construction of the building and it was built during 2003 and 2004 (on time and within budget).

The John Hill Training Centre was opened by John on 17 July 2004 and is now in constant use by scouts who appreciate the wonderful gesture by John in paying for the total cost of the building.

During his working life after the war John was involved with Co-Operative Building Societies and spent many years in this industry. He was President of the Co-Operative Housing Societies Association of NSW in 1981.

John’s military service commenced when he joined the Citizens Military Force in 1939. He received his commission as an Officer in 1940. In September 1941 he was seconded to the AIF and saw active service in Middle East and in the Pacific Theatre. He left the Army in July 1947 with the rank of Major. In 1952 he rejoined the Citizens Military Forces and served for 18 years retiring with the rank of Colonel in 1970. He served in many posts in his CMF career and his last posting was as Commanding Officer of 8 Supply and Transport Column at Randwick. In 1965 he was awarded the Efficiency Decoration (ED) for his service as a citizen soldier.

In 1948 John joined an ex service organisation called the Royal Australian Army Service Corps Officers Association and was the Vice President of this Association from 1968 till 1993. He was elected President of this Association in 1993 and only just retired from this position in 2008. He was made a Life member of this Association in 2000.

When he retired from the Citizens Military Forces in 1970 John purchased a rural property at Tallong which is near Goulburn. John had never had any association with rural properties and certainly became a real Pitt Street farmer. He enjoyed his rural property on which he ran cattle and spent many happy days at Tallong.

Some years ago he heard that the Trinity Catholic College Army Cadet unit at Goulburn needed somewhere to hold training camps and bivouacs. John immediately made his property available on a permanent basis to the Cadet unit who continue to use the property many times through the year.

When John was 85 years young he saw a beautiful woman across the dining table on the QE11. This was Joy Batten and John and Joy have enjoyed a rich and loving relationship for the past 11 years’

John has supported more than 40 charities during his life and was recognised for his philanthropy on Australia Day 2007 by being awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) by the Governor of New South Wales Marie Bashir.

Murray Taylor :                        For his efforts in project managing the design/purchase/application for funds to the DVA and
                          requirements for the dedication of the Association’s Plaque at the Australian War Memorial.

 

Richard Mason,                       For their support in representing the Association (Banner Party)

Eric and Reg Denning:           at the Launch of RFD 2008 at Victoria Barracks in November 2007.

 

Don Willey:                              For his support in carrying the Association’s New Standard at rehearsals and

All Members:                           For your attendance to the Association’s activities during the past year.

 

 

Past Year’s Events

 

Ashfield sub Branch Remembrance Day Service

 

This service was again well attended by members of the Association in support of Ashfield RSL sub Branch

 

Launch of Reserve Forces Day 2008 at Victoria Barracks in December 2007

 

The Association participated in this launch with its Banner proudly being displayed by the Banner Party consisting of Eric and Reg Denning, Richard Mason and yours truly.

 

Ashfield RSL sub Branch Anzac Day Sunday

 

As in previous years it was good to see this activity was well attended by members of the Association who proudly marched behind our banner from Ashfield Park to the Club. No doubt the members did enjoy the LIGHT Refreshment!!!!!!!!! afterwards, thanks to the hospitality of the RSL sub Branch.

 


 

 

Anzac Day 2008

 

This year was the first year that the Association marched with the Corps rather than with the Reserve Contingent.  From all reports members were happy with marching with the Corps which allowed members to bond/associate with other unit members within the corps, prior to and after the march. As always it was good to see that our Patron, Col Mike Miller lead our contingent, with the dress and bearing of the members outstanding.

 

Reserve Forces Day 2008.

 

Again this year the Association marched with 12 Coy as a Corps contingent rather than with other Reserve units marching in Brigade (Arm/Services). Our Association was lead by Don Willey proudly carrying the Association’s new Standard, presented to the Association by the Pratt Foundation. Don also took part in the march past at Parliament House. Don’s picture can be seen on the Association web page. It was also pleasing to see a number of our country members attend, from both the North and South Coast.

 

After the march, members adjourned to the NSW Leagues Club for light refreshments.

 

Coming events

 

The Secretary will list those events in his segment. However, I need to bring to your notice the changes for next year’s Reserve Forces activity. There will be NO MARCH per say, but a parade in the Domain. The reason given for a parade rather than the usual march, follows complaints from the Catholic Church about the noise that disrupts their morning services from the FUP and march past in College Street.

 

To this end the RFDC (Arthur John Moore) has decided to have a parade with units forming up in Division/Brigade Formation and that only Unit Standards are to be displayed, No Banners.

 

From my discussions with other association they are unhappy with the RFD’s push to maintain the Arm/Services in the Division/Brigade Formations, especially when considering the Defence (Division/Brigades) do not support this activity by allowing current serving Reserve personnel to attend. Because of the NO Banner policy and the change in format, together with units now wishing to participate as a Corps, a number have indicated that they will not be participating in RFD’s activities in 2009.

 

In the past the Association has been involved in the RFD’s Launch activities. This year the rehearsals are at the Scott’s College in North Sydney and commence 7.45am on 22 &29 November 2008.

 

The involvement in RFD’s activities for 2008/9 will be placed on the agenda for discussion as to

 

1         Participation in 2009 Parade in the Domain in Brigade Formation with Standard only.

 

2         Participation in Launch on 22 &29 November 2008.

 

In conclusion, I would like to pass on to All Members and Friends of the Association the very best wishes for the coming festive season.

 

 

Kevin Connelly.

 


 

From the Desk of the Secretary/Treasurer.
